 Dear Mom and Dad,
    So this week has been really good and well before I talk about your crazy week I will talk about my good week.  So the good thing is I finally have a good language story for you.  Well we were talking about prophets to one of our new investigators.  (By the way he is the one whose car we pushed for a mile)  Anyways my companion was trying to teach about how a prophet needed to have authority from god.  So he asked the question so can anyone just be a prophet?  Well the investigator said,  well if I ever see this prophet guy I will fight against him i won't be put into slavory in fact I might even kill him!!!  How does that sound!!!  Well at this moment my companion's mouth opened wide and well lets just say that I was also a little flustered.  how did our lesson go soooo wrong.  Well I noticed that as he was talking he used the word slavery.  Well I then realized that he had mistaken what my companion said and that instead of prophet he heard the word enslaver.  Well so we taught our investigator that God calls people to enslave others every dispensation.  Well luckily we caught it and we fixed it.  The lesson ended well but lets just say that it was really interesting at the beginning.  Well other than that it has warmed up quite a bit here lately.  the really cold Mongolian winter hasn't really hit this year.  Well that was really good.  So it sounds like your week was a little stressful this last week.  I'm so glad to hear that Mom is still cancer free.  That is such a relief.  Well it truly showed me that the Lord's hand is in all of your lives.  Well the whole van thing sounds like that was really fun.  I have only been in a few minor accidents here and let me just say that Mongolians really know how to drive on ice.  Well that is really cool that we have a new member in the ward.  I really appreciate people like you dad who do their callings every week in teaching sunday school.  Or even if you are just filling in for someone else it really helps.  Well I was really touched by the whole thing with Mom and the other sister.  It made me realize a few things.  I won't write all of them but let me just say that Mom you are a blessing to all of those who are going through what you did.  It also made me realize that we truly are the Lord's disciples.  We are the ones to pass his light to others.  this week has really had me thinking about how the Lord is our light.  Through him we are saved.  But even though he has suffered for everyone's sins he has not eliminated our own loyalty to him.  By following his commandments we are truly able to be saved.  Jesus is the Christ, and i am so grateful that I can represent him here in the land of Mongolia.  I told Grandma how strange it is to think that Cameron is coming home soon.  It makes me realized just how fast time passes and how we need to always be a good example.  It also is making me realize just how much I will miss the land and especially the people of Mongolia.  I love them so much.  Well if you see cameron just say hello to him from me and tell him to practice any gaming skills he can because let him know that I have plans to bring back a few games from Mongolia.  Well he truly was a good example for me in going on a mission.  Well I love you all so much and continue to be a wonderful example of being a family living by the principles that our Savior has given us.  Well I love you sooooo much and good luck.  Love Elder Williams


So dear little sisters,
  So lets just say that having our mini van wrecked is one of the last things I expected to hear from you but you know, it did make things exciting.  Well that sounds really interesting.  so we got in a bus accident one time.  Nobody was hurt but it did put a pretty good size dent in the car it hit.  The ice here is really funny.  you will see the bus drive into the station and the front tires slide like ten feet.  It is really slippery here.  It does make things interesting and lets just say that Mongolians really can drive well on ice.  I fell for the third time by the way.  It was coming down an icy road on a mountain and before i knew it I was looking up at the smoky sky.  Well it made things interesting.  Well it was really cool this last week.  We are having a little bit of a warm up.  To be honest all the Mongolians were saying that this was going to be one of the coldest winters in a long time but it really hasn't been too bad so far.  It is actually warmer than last year.  Well Caelen I hope that you are doing well with heir corry.  I promise that it is a little scary at first but in the end it was actually nice.  I also kind of like watching other kids mess up.  :)  Well good luck on ceramics.  I sure you will kick my trash in ceramics.  I still remember how one of my pots could be used as a dumbbell.  Well I think that you will do wonderful in ceramics. Well don't worry about it being short.  A lot of my emails are the same way.  Well Rachel it sounds like the house really had a make over this last week.  Did you take a picture of the old mini van after it was hit?  That would be really cool to see.  Well I have to admit I am so proud of your scores on your math test.  You are becoming so intelligent.  You really are growing up into a little intelligent woman.  Just keep up the good work and remember that I was really bad at getting 4.0s.  But i was really good at getting 3.9s.  Well girls it will make it nicer if you either of you ever have to back up the new mini van.  You shouldn't hit any little innocent dogs on the street sides.  :)  Well Girls I love you so much and just remember that we have a light to show to the world.  And light is the light of Jesus Christ.  Always remember who your saviour is.  His light shines in both of you little girls and always remember to have this light in you.  Jesus Christ truly is the light and life of the world.  Never forget that.  Well girls have a wonderful week and know that it is getting warmer here. So I won't freeze gesen ug.  Well I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Rebecca, 
  You said it right.  Today was a lot warmer.  I could actually have my head out of my hat.  Well it sounds like your semester is going to be a blast.  And you and your dates.  you are really becoming a dater.  Are you the same anymore?  :)  Well I haven't warm my boots at all this last winter just because they were so annoying but let me just say that I can't wait to use them back in America.  Well I am sure you looked great bowling.  How often did you get strikes on the other person's lane?  ;)  Well this week I have really been contemplating just how Jesus is the light of the world.  He truly is our light and it is only through him and our faith in him that we can return to live with Heavenly Father.  Well always remember that you have his light in you.  Always remember that you are a disciple of Jesus Christ.  You are his follower.  You are a wonderful sister.  I am thankful everyday that I was able to grow up with you.  You might not of realized it but your patience with me and going outside and throwing a football around really was appreciated.  You are soooo good.  Keep up being showing the light of Christ to the world through your wonderful example.  well I love you sooo much and good luck with your new semester.  Love Elder Williams


Dear Kristalyn,
    You are such a good example for me.  I am so thankful for you and your patience with me when I was with you.  I hope that when I come back that we can just laugh as we used to.  I am also thankful for your wonderful example to others and it is possibly your hard working personality that has given me an opportunity to work at Byu.  Well that whole working out thing sounds good.  Well the workouts in the morning with my companion are definitely doing the same thing for me.  Well I am \ a lot skinnier than I used to be.  It fact most people don't believe just how much weight I have lost.  i am under 200 pounds.  I was over 200 in middles school.  yeah that skinny.  Well so about the whole money thing don't worry about it right now but with in the next month or two I am going to start collecting so more stuff.  I can get you some really good little stuff but in order for you to get the really cool stuff you might have to give me a little for yourself.  Well you kind of tell me what you might want and I will see if I can get it for you.  Well I love you and good luck with everything.  Love Elder Williams
