Dear Mom and Dad,This week was a really good week. Well I did eat a lot more buuz
this week and let me just say that I am really sick of buuz right now.
I have eaten probably over 100 this week and I really don't even want
to really look at another one for like another week or two or month.
Well I went around in our deel for a few more days and then I stopped
because it really drew attention though most of it was good. Well
also my companion got a little sick on the last night we were eating
buuz so we went home a little early. Well you saw some of my
pictures. So my favorite one is probably the one with the sisters
just because I rarely get pictures with the sisters. Well I did sing
as an alto in our MTC group quartet of I am a child of god or Bi
Burhanii huuhed tul. Great song and it sounded really good. Well we
didn't have a ton of lessons this week but it was okay because we were
literally eating at everybody's house. Let me just say that having
somebody offer your a snuff bottle of tobacco on the bus is really
hard. We don't have to snuff it but you at least are supposed to
pretend to snuff it. And on a moving bus it is really hard. A lot
Mongolians think that we are russian so they will sometimes really
respect us and speak in Russian to us. Funnily enough the Mongolians
really respect the Russians in fact there is a statue of several of
the famous communist leaders in the city. Actually one of them just
recently disappeared. No one can really explain how a whole big
statue disappeared but it has. Well other than that we also had Zone
Conference this last week. That was really fun and I learned so much
about it especially the atonement. I always thought I understood the
atonement correctly but just recently I had to readjust my thinking of
it a little bit. Well that was a blast. The beginning of this week
was actually really warm but it just dropped again so who knows when
it will get warm again. I started teaching English again today. They
gave all of the really hard classes to me just because I guess they
figure I am young and I can take the rowdy classes. There are 2 older
couples that teach at my school too and they gave all of them my old
classes. Well it will be an interesting semester. The girl that I
failed didn't complain to me today and I think it is because she knows
that she really cheated. Well it was an interesting day today. Well
other than that there is really no other big news other than the fact
that a new mission president has been called. He served in Mongolia
in 1996 and so did his wife. They are both really young and have 4
little children. That should really be a change for the mission here.
Apparently since President Clark came to Mongolia on emergency notice
he will only be here for 2 years. Well other than that the news is
the same. Well it sounds like home is okay and I hope that the
missionaries ate plenty of food on my behalf because believe me, I
have eaten a lot on their's. Well it is so cool that you got to go to
the temple. I can't wait to go to the temple myself. Well this week
was really just Tsagaan Sar. Well I love you all and wish you the
best of luck. Love Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,
So this week has been really good and it has been so nice to be
able to read your emails. I love reading your emails every week.
Well you can read all about my tsagaan sar in the other email. Well
this week I learned a lot of different things about the atonement from
our mission president. I thought I had understood it correctly before
but I guess I really didn't quite understand it all the way. I had
always kind of thought that Jesus kind of like took the demands of
justice on himself for us but that isn't quite true. It isn't fair to
have 1 man die in place for another one and so this isn't satisfying
justice at all. (See Alma 34) I really want to explain it in this
email but it would fill my entire email. Also it is really hard to
understand at first but now I get it a little better. I would explain
more but just read like Alma 34 and think about how one man can't die
in place for another. It makes judgement look quite a bit different.
Anyways I am still struggling to comprehend it but the scriptures make
sense. Well sorry about that rant. Well Caelen, why are you so star
struck over a few missionaries that taught you how to tie a tie? I
can teach you how to build a ger but I don't see you talking about me
that way. Just kidding :) WEll keep up the good work. Rachel,
Congratulations!!!! You have finished the book of Mormon. Now the
question is have you tried Moroni's promise? Go ahead and try it. By
the way I hope that you buy me a blizzard when I get home because the
one thing that Mongolia is truly lacking is blizzards. Hey Rachel,
good luck on your sickness. Just sleep good and long and drink plenty
of liquids and get over it. Be thankful that you aren't here because
if you were you might have to drink your mother's......Well you can
figure that out. Well Rebecca, you are so popular!!!!!!!! yeah this
week was really warm. I was sweating so much when it got up to 8.
Yeah.....I mean it. :) Hey congratulations on being "pretty
productive" I am sure that movie pizza cookies and ice cream party
was like the most best thing you have ever done!!! Eat plenty for me.
Well I hope that you enjoyed Pride and Prejudice........kind of. How
is that movie even slightly entertaining? I think I would enjoy
myself more by watching you eat top ramen in slow motion.
YEah.....that boring. Toglison youm maa. Just kidding:) Well
little girls have a great week this next week and I hope that all of
you start feeling better. Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
   Well the week has been good and you can learn about that in my
other email.  Let me just say that I ate way to much.  I think I also
ended up drinking some like Milk vodka but I am not too sure.  All I
know is that the older couple drank it first so I just followed right
after him.    Well I learned alot about the atonement this week.  SO
 I will tell you after my mission because it is way to much to write in an email. 
  I am really excited about it.  Well happy valentine's day.  I
finally told my english classes that I have a girlfriend or I at least
didn't deny the fact that I had one.  I did this just because it makes
it a lot easier in the classroom where you have a whole bunch of young
single adults.  Well english has started again and they have given me
all of the rowdy classes just because they don't want the older couple
missionaries to have to teach them.  The good news is that my school
will be getting a new missionary in the next few weeks so that will
really hopefully help my schedule.  Well other than that I am just
surviving the temperatures of Mongolia.  It actually got up to 8
degrees and boy that was actually pretty warm.  Well I love you and
just keep up the good work back at home.  I love you and good luck.
Love Elder Williams
