Dear Mom and Dad,
 
   So this week has been really good.  This week we managed to find three new investigators and all of them are really good.  One of them came to church and is friends with many people in the church and so it is working out really good.  The other was just one of the other people we found on the road and when my companion was first talking with her I thought that it wasn't going to go really well but later they are actually really interested.  It goes to show that the Lord puts his prepared people in the right places.  Well it snowed yesterday but other than that the weather is slowly getting better.  It is warm enough now that we are getting up and playing basketball every morning for exercise and it is so fun.  Actually today we played ultimate frisbee because the court was covered in snow and let me just say that it made the whole thing really interesting.  I think everyone fell.  Well we also got to hear the easter choir yesterday which was really nice.  Well other than that there wasn't anything to new this week.  Oh by the way that whole not clean apartment thing wasn't bad at all because well the guy completely understood me and there was no problem.  It did help that we cleaned the entire apartment before we met with him.  SO I learned something this week about humility.  I was reading that one of the characteristics of humility is how we need to be ready to give credit of things that happened to Heavenly Father.  Well I was thinking about this and I also realized that instead of giving credit to ourselves so often we give credit to something just being a coincidence.  I realized that there are many times that things aren't just coincidence and that one way to be humble is to remember who's hand is in our lives.  Just one of the many things I have to work on.  Well it sounds like things are finally turning into spring there.  I hope that you have some wonderful vegetables to show me this year.  So dad can you give me another week on that whole math thing.  If you can't go ahead and do what you feel is best.   Well I love you soooo much and I wish you all of the best of luck.  Love Elder Williams  

Dear Little Awesome Sisters,
    So it sounds like you are all doing fantastic.  So you can learn about my week in my other email.  Well, Rachel, it sounds like you had a really productive vacation.  By the way just how old are you getting?  Sometimes you sound older than you used to be.  Are you growing up?  :)  Stop!!!!  :)  Well that is so cool that you got a ribbon for your art competition.  You shuu!!!  You should just continue to practice you art.  Well you got a slushie?!  I haven't eaten one of those in forever.  But I did get to drink arts a few days ago.  Really good except for the fact that when I first got to Mongolia it tasted like baby throw up.  Well hey just keep up the great work and always remember that all of those people in your school are you brothers and sisters.  Just let your light shine before men.  Well Caelen,  your ring looks absolutely marvelous.  You really have a wonderful father.  Well you just keep up killing those kath hounds.  It am on the other side of the planet right now holding down the fort here but I expect any day an attack from the droid army stationed in Selenge.  So my young padewan you must destroy all of the hounds before I get there because when I come I will bring precious information about the war taking place on the degoba system.  :)  Well just to let a little bit of nerdiness out.  Well great job on the ceramics.  You have to send me a picture of your minion.  I really want to see it.  So Rebecca, I was worried when I read your email because I heard the phrase (By the way this following account is straight from your email (copy paste) (This is for evidence for the jury))  I went to my friend's house because he was holding a tin foil dinner party. Yes, I added the italics. and the bold.  and then here is the scariest part   you said you had a lot of fun.?!!!  What is this?!!! Are you dating and meeting with boys?!!!  HOW DARE YOU?!!!!                     
       :)   Just kidding I love you and well keep up the great work up at BYU.  Well keep up the great work and you are such a great example.  Well I love all of you and keep up the great work.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
  So this week has been pretty good.  It unfortunately snowed yesterday but the one of the good things is that we are still getting warmer.  Well one of the really good things is that you are doing well.  Don't stress out to much with finals coming up.  You can do it!!!  (Sorry that sounds really cheesy but in Mongolian they say it all the time)  Well I really wish I was there to see all of you enjoying yourself at the BYU volleyball game.  I am still a little nervous about thinking about going to college but when compared with  my mission I really can't say that it will be too much more stressful.  Actually with teaching English involved it might be more stressful.  Well I can't wait for it to be actually warm.  It sounds like Provo is really nice right now.  So the easter bunny didn't managed to make it here in Mongolia but we did here the easter choir last night.  That was pretty good and it was nice to just kind of sit back and relax and listen.  One of the things about the mission is that you are constantly going and you never have time to ever truly relax.  In the mission the idea is that the less you relax the more of an effective missionary you are being.  I'm glad that you have been able to learn a lot in church.  My branch is still learning that one of the keys to feeling the spirit is reverence.  Let me just say that when there are kids sprinting in the middle of the sacrament it makes it a little harder to concentrate.  WEll other than that things are going really good and it sounds like you are doing fantastic.  Well I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams
