Dear Little Sisters,

    It sounds like you are all doing so well.  I always love to read your email because it is your mail that makes my day.  Well it sounds like you are all just being your good old self.  Keep it up.  well, Caelen, I hope that you are waiting patiently because bi buuh boloogui or in other words I am not just finished yet.  I hope that you are doing well down in the rainforest of Cedar City.  Also I could tell that you say that new movie by just looking at the little pictures you sent me.  You always did like little yellow things.  Remember how you liked rubber ducks for a while?  Or was that someone else.  Well don't mess up your new dress too much.  You should make a metal one.  But the thread might need to be a little thicker.  :)   So Rebecca, I hope that you get better because school is coming up.  Well you and your salsa dancing self you.  You are so popular.  I can't believe it.  My little shy Beppy going salsa dancing?  I hope that you didn't break your friend's feet.  :)  That is cool that you were able to go and do the bridal shower with Courtney.  That is really good and way to be supportive.  You can pass on to Courtney that I wish her the best of luck and though I don't think I will be able to make it to anything that I still am so proud of her.  Well of course you played well.  I don't think that you miss notes on the piano.  By the way you might need to wait a little while for me to learn some of our old duets.  It has been a while.  So Rachel,  I heard that you had a swimming party in the window well this last week.  Who did you invite?  As long as there were no boys than I give you permission.  I hope that no sharks bit off your little toes.  Or are they bigger than they used to be?  Hey don't worry about highschool.  People may occasionally throw trash at you but all you have to do is just run.  They don't run that fast.  :)  No actually highschool is great and you will have a lot of fun.  Always remember to rely on the Person that can help you through everything.  He can help you.  Besides once you join the football team you will be really popular.  I always knew you would be a good quarterback.  :)  well little sisters I love you and keep up the good work.  Love Elder Williams.

Dear Kristalyn, 

   It is great to hear from you and thanks for praying for me.  It is just coming so fast.  I can't believe it.  I only have three sundays left.  It will be interesting to fly into St. George.  I actually thought that I would be flying into Salt Lake.  But it shouldn't be too bad.  Especially if I have Grandma to talk to on the way down.  Well this week I have really tried shuu.  I have figured out that I just need to continue working and then everything will be great.  So that is so cool that you got a piano.  I hope that I can play a duet with you every once and a while.  That should be fun.  So you can read about my week in the other email and all of the fun things that I have done this week.  It sounds like you are all just getting ready for school.  Man talk about a hard next month.  I am going to be so tired.  Oh well.  Anything for the Lord.  So I am so proud of you just doing well in your new life.  Of course it isn't that new but I am so glad that you are starting your eternal family the way you are.  You are such a good role model for me and all of your little sisters.  Keep up being a great sister.  So I really don't have too much more to write but just know that I love you and that I am working hard to the very end.  Thanks again for your prayers.  Well I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams  PS.  I'm sorry that my emails are getting a little shorter but there really isn't that much to say that I haven't said already.  It isn't that the work isn't boring but I just don't know what to write anymore.  

Dear Mom and Dad,

   This week has been really good and we are having a great time.  I actually got a new companion for my last several weeks here.  His name is Elder Mainbayar and he is a really good Elder.  We are working really hard and have managed to meet with quite a few people this last week.  So also this week we are teaching a little 15 year old from Kazakhstan named Lashkaa.  She is really good and is living with her member relatives.  She really likes the plan of salvation and explained to us (in a little bit broken Mongolian because she speaks Kazakh) how her mother died when she was little.  She also really misses her because she cried for a minute or two.  The only thing that might come in as a problem would be her families religious beliefs and they are not Buddist but I think they might very possibly be Muslim.  But the Kazakh's don't seem to be that strict about the whole rule thing and so hopefully with her uncle's support who is also a kazakh member she will do just fine.  So other than that there hasn't been a whole lot that has happened this week other than the normal missionary work.  Hopefully I will be here for Lashkaa's baptism but I really have no idea.  It sounds like you are all doing well back home and have had a chance to relax a little more.  I'm so glad to here about your scan mom and I am so thankful for Heavenly Father giving us this wonderful blessing.  Thanks for telling me all about the card thing.  I did get the card and I also got your package.  It was really nice to get and well all of my companions have really been surprised at the CD that the girls made.  We listen to it all the time.  I am glad that I was able to get that and also get the cute card and also Kristalyn's wedding invitation (a month late)  Well I probably won't be writing too much this week because we are going to the countryside on an exchange later today.  Well I love you two so much and wish you the best of luck.  Love Elder Williams

PS.  I am surprised they have our flight plans out already and I hope that isn't real about me being 27 hours in San Francisco.  I could really just drive home from there.  Thanks for helping me out Mom and Dad.  Love you   Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,

   It sounds like you are all doing really well.  I hope that you are all enjoying your last several weeks of summer.  Well Caelen, I am glad that you were able to be in a movie with your horse.  Did you kill any orks while you were going?  I bet you destroyed them and also managed to make a big tower fall down.  Is that true?   Also Caelen if you consider sitting on a camp chair trying to stay warm by huddling in your jacket dancing around a fire naked than yes I did do that.  :)  Just want to make you smile.  Also great job on staying on your horse.  That is sometimes how life is.  You just have to hang on.  Well Rachel, it sounds like you are doing well and that you are throwing down with your shotgun.  I'm curious, how many stormtroopers did you kill?  I bet you had a huge percentage.  I bet you even got to be one of the heros because you shot soooo well.  Hey always remember that if you stand up for some of your beliefs that people will listen.  Sometimes we just have to tell them straight up that their Heavenly Father would not be proud of them saying that stuff.  Sometimes people forget that he is there and that is the biggest problem with most people.  So great job and keep up being your strong self.  SO Becky yes I will enjoy my head and my aaruul.  It is really good.  (Ok I might have lied a little bit but sometimes there are some good pieces.  I don't really like the ears though.)  I'm glad that you can finally relax and be able to get back to normal because when I get back things won't be so normal anymore.  Enjoy not being tickled while you can!!!!  :)   Well thanks for being a good helper to Kristalyn and you truly are a wonderful example.  SO little girls I will give you one quote before I go.  "Life is like a coin.  You can spend it anyway you want it, but you only have 1."  Keep up being great and I love you all so much.  Love Elder Williams 

Dear Kristalyn,  It is so great to hear from you and see that you are having a great time.  I'm sorry that a little bit of your honeymoon was ruined to strep throat but I know you will be alright.  I have heard a lot about how you are doing and it sounds like you are having the time of your life.  I'm once again so proud of you and am glad that you are my sister.  Well thanks for preaching to me.  It was nice and does make me feel like I am still kind of normal.  I have been having a lot of dreams lately about going home and just what I am going to do.  I have to be honest and say that I really can't wait to get home and hug you all but at the same time I know that if I don't try my very hardest this last transfer I will regret it the rest of my life.  So it is a hard balance of being excited and trying to forget the fact that I am going home pretty soon.  I am proud to say that I am not trunky and am working really hard.  If you don't understand the word trunky you can ask Rhett or your husband.  He will know.  (Wow it is really weird to be able to tell one of my sisters to ask her husband).  So other than that things are going really god.  We are teaching a girl from Kazakstan and she seems to be understanding the gospel really good.  She doesn't speak Mongolian perfectly but well enough that she understands everything we teach her.  She is really good and I hope that I can be there for her baptism.  I think I will be able to make it.  So I can't wait to swap Yu-Gi-Oh cards with Rhett.  It will definently be fun.  Well I probably won't be writing a lot in the next several weeks but you just know that your brother is trying his hardest and please pray for me to continue to work really hard.  Thanks and I love you.  Love Elder Williams 

Dear Little Girls,

   It is so nice to be able to hear from you this morning.  It has been really cool to know that you have helped Kristalyn sooo much.  You have been a helper in God's hand in getting Kristalyn an eternal family.  So this week has been good but you can read about it in the other larger email.  So Caelen, I hope that your feet don't hurt to bad because I wouldn't want those little piggy toes in pain now.  :)  I am impressed by your scripture reference you shared with me and may I say that you have been a big hand in those "small and simple things".  I hope that you are enjoying being with Uncle Mike and Aunt Beck and Logan.  Family is so precious and we should try and enjoy every moment we have with them.  Well I didn't really wrestle but I was able to watch the opening of Naadam and see the big wrestlers go out.  You think the superbowl is big in America.  On the last wrestling match of Naadam the streets are silent because every body is in watching it on there TV's.  It was funny because we walked outside and there was literally nobody on the streets.  Well I think that you should spell your nickname nainii because that is how they spell it in Mongolian.  So Rachel....mm...mm.mm. ..............HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR RACHEL!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!.....WHISTLE WHISTLE.......BOOM BOOM (FIREWORKS) .  So you are now 15.  You are so old yum baina!!!!  Hey good luck up at girls camp and make sure to eat plenty of smores.  Wow I haven't eaten those in forever.  Well you are the best littliest sister in the world and even though I am a little late I hope that you had a wonderful birthday.  Rebecca, I am glad that you could help Kristalyn so well and I am thankful for your example to.  I am so glad that you can spend some time with your cousins and your little sisters.  They look up to you soooo much and you are really a good example for them.  Well keep taking naps for me and sleep next time for 4 hours.  You are a great girl.  So little sisters you are all so awesome and just keep up the great work and before you know it you will be in the celestial kingdom.  Good luck.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,

    Congratulations.  As a brother sitting here in Mongolia, I have many different emotions right now.  All of them are good.  I guess one would be just how proud I am of you.  You did it!!!  You have completed several other steps down the path of the plan of salvation.  You are closer than ever now.  Now it only takes one thing and you are well aware of that.  Enduring to the end.  I'm not going to preach to you about enduring to the end considering that you are a member.  But I would at least like to write my thoughts about it.  Obviously enduring to the end will be a little hard.  But if we trust in the one we know suffered for us we can do it a lot more nicely,  When I endure the end I want to be beat up and bruised and dusty and bleeding and the only reason I say that is because I feel like if I didn't try my very hardest I wouldn't be worthy of eternal life.  Now obviously we aren't talking about actual beatings but I want to go to my heavenly father and say "I tried and even though I wasn't perfect, I did try"  I think that you will do fine in your marriage and know that if you continue down the correct path you will make it.  I am so proud of you.  I am also so grateful that you were able to go through the temple and make for yourself those sacred covenants.  I know that you will slowly begin to understand things more little by little.  The peace of the temple is something so beautiful.  To be completely honest, it was the temple that kept me going on my mission when I learned everything about mom.  It was there that I felt that the Lord would take care of my family while I was away.  And he has.  More than I could imagine.  He has blessed us so much and I don't know why other than just to say that he loves us and is with us every step of the way.   So continue to go to the temple and I can't wait to be able to go with you when I get back.  I really want to go again.  I have forgotten so much.  Well lastly I would just like to say that you don't even know the joy that went through me when I read your email.  One of my own family members is one step closer to the celestial kingdom.  That is what I am trying to get people to do everyday and so often they don't listen.  Our goal is not baptism but is truly the temple.  So I am so proud of you and because everything went so well you may take that for a sign from God that you have done the right thing.  You keep up being great and well I hope to be able to see you and your future family.  It is kind of funny.  My whole family has changed while I have been gone.  Every one is moving through life differently now.  I am a little scared to come home to be honest.  MY whole life has been dedicated to going on a mission.  That is what I have thought since I was a little baby.  If I could make it on a mission my life was good.  But now it is almost over and I don't know what to think.  Back there I have no purpose or goal anymore or that is at least how I feel.  It is like my life is kind of ending or at least that is sometimes how I feel.  I am working really hard here still.  I am trying not to think about going home.  But I do every once and a while I do and well I am not sure what to do.  But I have had specific feelings inside that have revealed to me something that was really neat and i want to tell you that there is a reason that you were the first to come into the family.  You have always kind of been the pioneer and it is your example that I am learning from right now.  I know it was not coincidence at all that you are the oldest.  Keep it up and know that the Lord has set you in your family for a very specific reason and now I have just found out one.  I love you so much and well have a great time.  Love Elder Williams
