Dear Mom and Dad,

   So it sounds like you all had a busy week.  Well so first I will describe my week.  So this week we had Zone conference which was really fun.  But the night before that we went to see a really cool Mongolian cultural program.  But right as we were going off to go to the theater place my school called me and informed me that I had forgot to give a test that day.  Well I did forget but I was really never supposed to give it at all.  If I said that my school sometimes lacks common sense it wouldn't be very Christlike but sometimes I just have to be honest.  Well anyways we smoothed things over and went to the program.  It was an amazing program and I saw so much talent.  The have so many wonderful musical talents and especially the murun huur.  Well it was really good and also I saw a black guy at it.  That was rare.  Well on Thursday we went to Zone conference and it was sad because it is our president's last zone conference.  It will be weird serving the last few months of my mission under a different mission president.  Oh well.  So after Zone conference we ran over to the church and we had our baptism.  I had the privilege of baptizing our investigator and it was a really good spiritual baptism.  Well on Saturday, our other investigator passed the baptismal interview and will be getting baptized this next week.  We are going through a really good successful time right now here in the Hailaast branch.  Well that was pretty much my week and we are just having a great time here in Mongolia.  Transfers are coming up within a few weeks or two so we are just kind of waiting to see what will happen there.  Well it sounds like your week was really quite an ordeal.  Mom good luck on the shingles.  I will be praying for you and I hope that it heals quickly.  I also read Elder Packer's talk a few days ago and was really impressed by his testimony.  He is a great man and he truly knows that the Lord lives.  Well it sounds like Dad had quite a trip up north.  I admit I was a little jealous to know that you ate at Chili's but I realized that I will have kfc in a few months.  So I will have to talk with Elder Naef about that whole thing.  that sounds really cool and I forgot to tell you that yes he did come back.  But he won't come home until November.  Right before thanksgiving.  It really is a small world especially of those involved in Mongolia.  He actually is from the portland area and though he doesn't know Uncle Mike and Aunt Beck he is familiar with their town.  Well I hope that all of you have a great week and I love you.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,
    Well it sounds like all of you are having a great week so far.  You all are really awesome and let me just say that it is a joy to get your email every week.  The letters from family really do make the week great.  So it is raining right now and I am just wondering how I am going to go outside and not get too wet.  I didn't bring my umbrella.  :(   Well other than that there is nothing to new.  Oh I did get to baptize my investigator this last friday.  That was really great to see.  Well you can learn about the rest of my week in the other big email to mom and dad.  Well Rachel, I guess you are not into the whole field day thing. I think that you would throw down if you went and did high jumping though.  Should have done it.  :)  Good job on the awards ceremony.  I remember I got an award too but I have no idea what it was.  Something stupid baih. (I'm sorry but I thought this sentence in my mind and so I had to write it out.   The baih means probably)  Man I wish you could send me a blizzard but unfortunately that isn't an option.  Well you sound like you are your good ol' new self and I always new that you were going to be a famous artist.  You got it!!  Well Caelen, it sounds like your week was awesome because you didn't have school.  By the way when I saw the word afgan I had absolutely no idea what it was.  Now I remember though.  Well I can't wait for a home made hamburger but don't think that is distracting me.  Well I will try to get an eagle for you but the only problem is I don't have enough money to get it a seat on the airplane.  Well thanks for the picture of the snowflake.  It remind me of most of my time here in Mongolia.  well Rebecca, do you know where crocodiles live?  ......yeah in Africa......then why in the world are you in Provo Utah?!!!!   That camel comment put a grin on my face.  yeah I didn't know that you could run that far.  Were you in a wheelchair?  :)  Well I have to throw a few comments back myself.  Well it sounds like you are doing great work up at Provo .  Keep up the great work.  Well I love you little girls and always remember this really cool quote  (let see if you understand it first)  "Earth's crammed with heaven and every common bush afire with God, but only he who sees takes off his shoes"  Elizabeth Barrett Browning.  Please tell me you understand it.  Well I love you all and have a great week.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,  So this week has been pretty good.  I had the opportunity to baptize our investigator named Serjmydag and that was really nice to be able to see.  It also rained quite a bit this week and in fact it is raining right now.  Well you can learn about the rest of my week in my other letter.  Well first to answer your questions.  So I am almost done with class.  I gave the 2 tests today and have to give one more.  Well speaking of this whole english thing I had a moment that reminded me of the atonement.  After I graded one of the tests and gave the students his grade I had one of my students come up to me and beg for just three points because he really wanted to go from an 82 to an 85.  Well he was really insisting me and insisting me and well I didn't know what to do.  To be honest he is a really good student and he is really humble but he just doesn't know any english because he was raised in the countryside and hasn't really had the chance to get a good education.  At first I was just trying to be honest and told him that sorry that was his bad luck but as I was sitting there I realized that this is just like Jesus Christ and our lives.  There is no way in the world that we can get a one hundred percent on the test of life.  and the only way that we will ever make a passing grade is if we rely on the Lord and his grace.  So being merciful I gave him just 3 points.  It was a really interesting moment for me.  Well the easiest way to get closer to the Savior is just to remember Him.  I feel like that is the beginning.  And then accepting His will.  You are really a great example and don't every worry about your wedding.  Well I hope that you are doing well and that your whole wedding is coming together.  I know that you will be fine and I can't wait for a few more pictures.  Well you have a great week and just remember that when I do come home I want a big taco salad waiting for me withing the first week.  (Or really just cheese in general.  They don't eat any cheese here)  Well I love you and keep up the great work.  Love Elder Williams
