Dear Mom and Dad,

SO first I will try and answer the questions you asked. So it
seems like my VISA is okay and I am so thankful for your prayers. I
should be able to finish my mission here in Mongolia. So my new
companion is a short term missionary which means he has never been out
on a mission before. So pretty much I am teaching a new missionary.
He doesn't really speak any English. But me and him are doing some
pretty good work with our investigators. We have a few that seem like
they will move along. To be honest this week there wasn't a lot of
progress because I was sick and now my companion is getting the same
cold. SO we are just trying to stay healthy. So speaking of my
Christmas package I really only want a few things. So first I would
really like some shirts that fit. I actually have just found out that
I have lost more weight and plus my collars are kind of falling apart.
I will try and get some measurements to you next week but if I can't
just send me a few shirts with the size of the neck down a little. so
that is what I really want for Christmas but I could also use a little
pudding. :) So anyway this week was pretty good. We went to stake
conference which was nice and got to hear from our stake president
odgerel. That was really nice and great to feel the spirit. So also
last night we had a shamanist thing going on in the room above us.
that was a little strange. They were pounding on there drums and
yelling really loud but I guess it was a little interesting to listen
to. They sounded just like the native Americans. So apart from that
nothing really unique happened this week. We are just trying to do as
much work as we can while we are healthy. So speaking of the weight
thing I am now under 200 pounds which is something that I haven't been
since the eighth grade. So that is interesting. So it sounds like
your week was really good. I hope that all of you are doing well over
there. So I'm glad that BYU won their game because to be honest it
doesn't sound like they have won very many this year. Let me just say
that I can't help and think about the tropical winters back in Utah.
I really can't wait to be in a warmer environment. Anyways I am staying
warm. Well I love you and good luck in everything you do. Love Elder

 Dear little sisters,
So this week has been pretty good so far. I have been just a
little sick this week. But I am getting better thanks to the
missionary doctor. So one really interesting thing was last night we
had some shamanists on the floor above us pounding on their drums and
screaming and yelling and singing just like the native americans. It
made it a little hard to sleep last night because all of the noise but
it was still a interesting and unique experience. So we have met with
one investigator named Gerelmaa who seems to be accepting the gospel
really well. The only problem was that her relatives was a little
tipsy and so it made the lesson really short. Other than that the
work is just continuing as good as ever. So I actually learned about
the elections here in Mongolia because it was all over the place too.
I wanted Mitt Romney but whatever. SO there are some more american
missionaries that are supposed to be coming in march which means that
the immigration office is being a little easier on all of us. So
Caelen it sounds like you are having a good time. So you said it also
snowed over there. Well it has snowed here too and it is absolutely
freezing. It is like my first winter all over again. (Wait a second,
it is) So Mongolian winters are cold. But I am staying warm. Don't
you worry about me. Rachel, I'm sorry you have been feeling sick. I
have been a little sick too. We should both get better together!!!!
:) Anyways good luck with that cold and get better. Also enjoy when
the two older girls come down for me. also play some great games.
Rebecca, you are a funny little girl. I mean when the lights go out
doesn't everybody go and give each other backscratches? :) JK though
it is a little cute. Also good job on helping those who are less
fortunate. You will be blessed for it. So one cool thing I was
reading today taught me more about God's attributes and his love for
people. He love us so much that when he sees those who are not
following his commandments he weeps. He love us that much little
girls. He knows each and every one of you personally and wants each
of you to return to live with him. Always remember that. We can not
even comprehend a piece of God's love. I love you and good luck with
this upcoming week. I love you all. Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
    SO this week has been pretty good.  Except for one thing and that
is I have been pretty sick so far.  Right now it is getting better
thanks to the missionary doctor.  So apart from that there wasn't
anything out of the blue this week.  Wait, we also had stake
conference this last week which was really nice to be able to go to.
It was also nice to hear from all the strong leaders in Mongolia.  The
stake president Odgerel is a really strong man and it truly showed me
that the Lord has chosen us from before this life to do certain
things.  If Mongolia didn't have this man as a stake president than I
don't know what would happen.  Anyways so that was nice.  I have also
lost some more weight but you will have to read Mom and Dad's letter
to hear about that.  Anyways life is pretty good over here other than
it being really cold. We have some good investigators that are coming
along  but to be honest between me and my companion being sick last
week we didn't meet with a ton of people.  But it was a decent week.
So it is cold over here now.  Anyways just thought you wanted to know.
  So next week I will send some wonderful pictures to you but this
week there isn't a lot of time.  I promise to send some awesome
pictures.  I already have a few but just have to send them.  So don't
worry.  I am taking pictures.  So I might send you one today but next
week I will send a bundle.  So that really sounds cool of the
different religious service.  I didn't really know what the Jewish
people did in their synagogues.  In Mongolia we always get the
Buddhist monks or the buu (shamanists)  In fact last night we had
someone pounding on their drum on the floor above us.  They were
singing and shouting like crazy and sounded just like native
americans.  It was a little hard to go to sleep last night.  So those
are the different religions here.  There are more obviously but those
seem to be some of the biggest.  I am so glad you get to take the bus.
 :)  I get to take the bus allllll theeee timmee. and to be honest I
am getting a little sick of it but I'll be okay.  Well the asian buses
are a little more crowded than Salt Lake.  SO good luck and I love you
and just keep on being the great example that you are doing.

Dear Mom and Dad,
So this week has been pretty good. I got my short term
missionary and he is really good. His name is Elder Dulguun. The
only thing is that I am now the senior companion and it does make
things a little more stressful sometimes. I guess the Lord is just
trying to teach me. Also this week we had a nice fireside in which
some of the missionaries that were leaving bore their testimonies.
That was nice to just be able to sit back and listen and just feel the
spirit. Sometimes with all the bustle and business of missionary work
you miss the special just kind of relaxing spirit feeling. But on the
other side you see the spirit work wonders in people. So this week
has been pretty good. Not that many investigators came to church but
we will get them to come eventually. So it sounds like you are doing
well. I am also hoping for Mitt Romney to do well. Believe it or not
but everyone also knows that he is a Mormon here too. Though they
don't seem to care to much about it. So the weather is getting cold
and speaking of cold I am getting over one I got a week ago. I don't
need any new gear as far as I know so it right now don't need anything
sent over. Well life is just going here over in the mission field.
I'm glad that you could all enjoy Halloween and it sounds like you are
busy with your calling at church. Let me just say once again how
grateful I am for my parents. You both have taught me so much. Thank
you again and again. Well this next week should be pretty good. I
love you and wish you all the luck in the world. I tell you time
flies. i don't like it. Anyways I love you and have a good week.
Love Elder Williams

Dear Little sisters,
 It is sooo good to hear from you again this week. I love writing
you every week. So this week has been interesting because I have
finally become senior companion and to be honest it is a little hard.
My new companion is a short term missionary and he is really good and
his name is Elder Dulguun. We have had a good few couple of days but
the thing is that i have to teach him a lot about this mission field
and the only problem is that it is a little hard to do that. So this
week has been pretty good so far and hopefully we can do some really
good work. Anyway that is what is new with me this week. Really
nothing else. Other than getting a new companion that is all this
week has had to offer. So anyways the investigators are doing okay
but right now there is no one that is progressing a lot but hopefully
we can get them growing in these next few weeks. Your week sounds
pretty good this week. Rachel, I am so proud of you doing well this
week. You are truly growing up. Just remember to always be yourself
and continue to have as much fun as you can. Those years you have are
precious and if you are not careful they will slip from your fingers.
I know that sounds a little poetic but it is true. So you are doing
great. So Caelen I loved your pictures. You look so cute and I am so
proud of you. You looked like you had a wonderful time. It sounds
like stalking the neighborhood was pretty fun. I hope you scared some
little kids for me. It really isn't that hard. Just run towards
them. :) Rebecca, it sounds like you are being as great as ever.
Just keep making those guy friends. (But you can't date them until
I'm dead) :) So that is the way it is. Also just keep feasting from
the scriptures. There is so much knowledge hidden in those pages.
Actually the knowledge is endless and you are only at the beginning of
it. I love the scriptures so much and one of my favorite times of day
is when I have the opportunity to read out of them. So I love you all
so much and I am so proud of all of you. You are all so good. Just
keep being yourselves and stay strong. :) I love you all and good
luck. Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
   SO this week has been pretty good.  SO I have now got a short term
missionary for a companion.  It is pretty good and we are doing pretty
good work.  His name is Elder Dulguun and he is a good guy with a lot
of will.  The only thing is that he doesn't really know that much and
I have to teach him a lot about the work and hopefully everything is
turning out good.  So right now the week has gone by okay and the only
thing is that it is getting really cold here.  Well it sounds like you
are having a good time down in St. George.  I hope you have a great
time.  Kristalyn, hey don't worry about all that anxiety stuff.
Everything will turn out okay and you don't need to worry .  Anyway I
am just trying to survive this next winter and hoping that I can do
the work with my new companion.  I didn't realize how much I knew
about how to teach and stuff until I got a companion that really knows
nothing at the time.  I hope he picks up pretty quick so we can teach
some really great lessons.  Right now I am really just trying to rely
on the Lord for help and how to do the work when I have the most
experience.  TO be honest it is kind of stressful.  But anyway I will
pull through.  Well I love you and don't worry about life because in
the end everything will be okay.  That is why we need hope in this
gospel.  If we never have hope for a better world or a better self
with god's help our hearts will fail and we will fall into a
depression.  So we always need hope.  Kristalyn,  I would suggest that
you get a preach my gospel book from like Deseret or actually there is
one at home maybe.  Anyway go to chapter 6 and look up all about the
Christ Like attributes.  Also look at the first of the chapter to see
how to help yourself by reading it.  I think that this chapter would
really give you some peace of mind.  Just remember you aren't perfect
and neither is life but it is through the gospel that we can actually
make it the way we want it.  I'm serious about the preach my gospel
thing though.  Please look.  I love you so much and I really do miss
all of you.  Keep up the good work and have some hope and everything
will be okay.  I love you and good luck.  Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,      So this week has been a really good week.  We found a few new good investigators that should turn out really well.  Also I am going to get a short term missionary which means that a young man who has some free time who has been interviewed by the president will come out and be my companion for a few weeks.  So hopefully that turns out okay.  So this week has been pretty cold.  It is starting to turn into that good all familiar Mongolian winter.  It should be good and cold.  So all the locals are saying that this winter will be colder than all others but those myths are all kind of not really true or that is what I am beginning to understand.  So the work is just moving along over here.  so we did go and introduce our investigator to people at a Halloween party at the church.  We weren't there too long though.  We normally are supposed to.  So that was fun to see.  We also helped decorate a little because well number one I'm tall and number 2 not a lot of people to decorate showed up.  So I drew a pumpkin that looked just like Mom's pumpkins.  So that was really good.  All of my new members seem to be doing fine so that is nice.  So it sounds like your week was pretty good.  I'm glad to hear that byu actually won a game and won it well.  That is great to hear about the other missionaries from our ward.  It is so wonderful to know that they are all doing fine out there.  So this week I was surrounded by English speaking people in a bus and it was really weird.  I actually understood everything they were saying perfectly.  Also I saw a black guy. (or if I must be politically correct African American)  It was really weird because I hardly see any white people around here.  Anyways I got kind of shy and didn't really talk to any of them but I have made a vow that next time I see a group of english speakers I will talk with them.  Anyway that was my week this week.  And mom don't worry about when I get home and I see you because dad is right you were both old when I left.  Just kidding....kind of.  Well I love you both so much and I wish you all the best of luck.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,
      I am always so happy to hear from you.  It has been so nice to be able to see you grow through my mission.  So this week has been good but it is already getting really cold.  At least it is not like the beginning of January though.  That is the absolute coldest time.  It is cold here now and I can't wait for the really cold stuff to pass.  Also the sun will set and rise really funny now and I will get up and the sun won't be up until like 9:30 and will set at like3:30.  It is a little rough but I will stick it through.  So this week has been pretty good.  This week I will get a new short term missionary for about 6 weeks.  Hopefully that turns out alright.  SO we found two new investigators last week which was great and hopefully we will continue to find more.  Well Rachel good luck with that whole going to sleep thing.  Just relax.  Also tell me what happens to our fat old dog.  Hopefully it isn't a big problem.  I'm so glad that you are liking going to church.  The sabbath day is so special and we just always need to be thankful that God has given us this special day to recharge our spiritual batteries.  Caelen, you went on a date. YOU WENT ON A DATE!!!  How dare you do that!!!!  JK  :)  I am glad to hear you had so much fun.  I hope you really enjoyed yourself.  It is so fun to have good friends to go and do stuff with.  Rebecca, you sound like a popular girl.  Going as Tron.  How cool are you?  You are really like going crazy up there.  :)  Well, that is so good to hear that you have been doing great things up there.  Also remember to go on some dates.  You need to because a popular girl needs a popular (good) boyfriend.  :)  Well I love you all and good luck this week.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
     So this week to be honest has been freezing.  It is beginning to the cold is happening right here right now in Mongolia!!!!  :)  SO that has made it a little interesting.  Thank you for writing me this week.  It sounds like you are having a wonderful time up at BYU.  I also hope to be able to be in all your fun little groups up there.  I just can't believe how fast my mission is going though.  It is unreal.  So I learned that in the next week I will get a new companion who is a short term missionary.  In other words I will have a priest to help me with the missionary work for a few weeks.  I am still in Unur which has been a blast but I admit I really wanted a full time missionary for a companion.  SO our ward did have a Halloween party and we went just to introduce our investigator to the people and then we left.  We also stayed for the food.    Though I admit I know nothing about the elections.  SO I always did like those silly little nights you used to do.  Now I may of seemed like embarrassed at the time but I think those little goofy things really brought us all together.  Yeah our sisters are growing up way to fast.  I don't really know any of the too well any more.  They are going on dates doing amazing stuff and I hope they haven't changed to much.  It doesn't seem so right now but I won't know until I get there.  Does Caelen look a lot older?  I haven't seen a picture of her.  How does Rachel look.  It is kind of weird to think that they are all getting so big.  Anyway thanks for writing me and I hope you have a great time this next week.  I love you and just know that your brother is trying to stay as warm as he can over in the country of Mongolia.  Good luck!!!  Love Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,
     So this week has been a pretty good week so far.  We have taught a lot of lessons and are finding a few new investigators.  Well me and my companion are doing pretty well.  We just had it snow a few days ago and so now the long dark winter begins.  It really is dark.  The sun sets at like 3 o'clock.  At least that is not until December.  So anyway I am going to get some new gloves today and hopefully so nice warm socks.  This week we helped put in a window in for some less active members which was pretty interesting.  Also the my english lessons which I teach at the church are going pretty well.  Me and Elder Neuberger (an elder in my district) switch between teaching the high level english and the low level english classes.  SO this saturday we had this old man come into our class.  He expressed is interest in learning English and said he wanted to sit in the high level class.  But he mistakenly sat in the low level class which I happened to be teaching that day.  At first I was grateful because both me and Elder Neuberger thought that he was just an old man that thought he was pretty good at English, but when he started talking I was completely taken by surprise.  He spoke really good english and I was in shock for the first 5 minutes.  SO that was interesting.  Other than that there really wasn't that much else this week.  So Odmaa is doing really well in the church and is learning and growing in it sooo much.  She takes her calling so seriously which is a door greeter and she does really well.  Anyway it is so wonderful to see somebody grow through the gospel.  So my other english classes are doing pretty well so far and so far it seems like I will be able to stay in the country.  Or at least everybody is really positive about it.  It seems like one of the real anti mormon guys was just switched to a different department or something like that so hopefully everything should work out just fine.  Well life here is good other than the fact that it is getting cold.  also Ulaanbaatar during the winter gets really smoggy which is also no fun.  To be honest it is the worst smog I have ever seen.  but right now it isn't too bad.  Apparently this coming winter is supposed to the colder than the past several years but Mongolians said that last year too.  It seems to always be the rumors before a winter.  The Mongolians are a very supersticious people some time and so this kind of thing happens a lot.  Well it sounds like you are doing really good Mom.  I hope you get everything done before it snows which to be honest I know you can.  Just don't overwork yourself as I know you do so often.  :)  It sounds like Elder Munday was great to hear from.  Dad, thank you for sharing the scripture with me. It was so great to read and it made me realize that sometimes even when I don't have success that I am still here to warn people whether they accept me or not.  Thank you so much.  Well it sounds like ByU did bad again which isn't really a surprise.  Well hopefully they do good when I'm there.  So anyway I was reading a little out of the old testament today and was really just impressed by the story of Elisha and his servant and how "they that be with us are more than they that be with them."  We always need to remember this and we never need to give up or feel down because of the world.  We just need to remember that God will win.  and if we are obedient we will win with him.  I'm am so grateful for a wonderful family and for the only true church.  I love you and good luck. Love Elder Williams

 

Dear Caelen and Rachel,
     I'm am so glad to hear from you today.  It has been wonderful to be able to see your emails.  So this week has been pretty good for me and we have done a lot of work.  So this week we a great time talking and helping many of the members.  I actually helped put a window in a house of some of our inactive members this week.  It was really cool and it was good to be able to help them.  So the Unur ward is doing pretty well and yesterday we had a great lesson on why we all need to do family history work.  It is possible to do family history work in Mongolia but not a lot of the saints do it so it was really refreshing to hear about it yesterday.  So to be honest apart from that we really didn't do a whole bunch out of the usual this week.  We taught our investigators and we have 3 right now that are very promising.  Two are planning to be baptized and the other one will shortly be given a baptismal date.  So the work here is just moving along fine.  Also all of our new members are doing fine including Odmaa who has got a calling.  She has the calling of a greeter at the door and is doing a wonderful job.  So it has been a great week so far.  So little girls it is so great to hear from you again.  Rachel, it sounds like you are having a great time.  Good luck on your big book.  So also good job on your grades.  that is really impressive and you should be proud of yourself.   I know you are working so hard to get them and let me just say congratulations.  Also make sure to count all the sunflower seeds for me you got.  :)  JK....Rowling.  Can't forget that.  Anyway great job.  So Caelen, good job on your grades too.  it take a lot of effort and hard work to get good grades.  Good job.  By the way, Caelen I can't believe what I heard.  Is my little nanny going to a .....dance?!!!!  What?!!!  Is that even possible?!!!  Are you old enough?!!!!  Stop growing up so quickly.  :)  Anyway good luck and I'm so proud of you.  So I like mark solomon and will not make you ask anything from him but you may tell him that when I get home I plan on beating him really bad in a game of ping-pong.  So good luck and I hope you have a great time.  Also don't worry and be yourself.  (I wish I had taken my own advice a long time ago)  :)  So just relax and have fun at the dance.  SO little girls I love you and good luck in everything you do and just remember,  "those that be with us are more than those that be with them."  Always remember to choose the right and I love you.  Good luck!!  Love Elder Williams

Kristalyn,
Sorry I can't write much but it has been great to hear from you.  So Kristalyn, just remember that the Lord can help you in anything you need.  One thing that we as missionaries always strive to do is be filled with a love for the people we teach.  In Moroni it states that we the way in order to be filled with this love is to beg from god in prayer to give us a portion of that love.  I can testify that if we truly beg and pray that he will give it to us.  So if you are having a hard time with people just pray to god to love them and he will help you overcome all your weaknesses.  Also good luck with your car.  I wanted to drive it but it is okay, I will drive you future car.  :)   Good luck with everything and I love you.  Love Elder Williams
Tell Becky I love her.Tell her sorry I wasn't able to write to her.  Tell her good luck and just keep on getting her perfect grades.

 Dear Mom and Dad,SO this week I got my new shoes. Thank you so much and I really
enjoyed all the pictures and testimonies. Also the CD was absolutely
wonderful. I forgot to tell the girls but they sound so good in the
songs they sang. My companion didn't realize it was my sisters until
I told him and when he learned about it he was shocked at how
wonderful they sounded. I actually forgot to tell them this in my
email so they can learn about it from this one. The shoes are really
good and should last me until the end of my mission. SO the weather
is getting pretty cold over here and right now a little snow has
fallen but thankfully it has melted away (Or blown away, anyways it
just disappeared) We set a baptismal date with an investigator who is
doing absolutely wonderful. She came and took notes on all of General
Conference. She should hopefully be baptized next month. We also
found another boy who was just walking down the street that my
companion talked to. His sister actually is an inactive member and at
the time we didn't know that. Anyway he seems to want to learn and
hopefully we can get a progressing investigator out of him. So this
morning I had two Russian ladies steal my spot on the bus. Not really
but they just didn't know how to ride on a Mongolian bus really well.
It is funny being here. I have seen and met people all over the world
here. I have shaken a Saudi Arabians hand, talked to people from
England, bumped into Russians, had French people live next to me even
an American ward missionary. It is so funny to think that all the way
over here in little Mongolia there are this many people from different
countries here. Not to mention all of the Chinese and Koreans I have
seen. and Kazaks. Well me and my companion are doing fine. Also
being able to hear General Conference was absolutely amazing. Elder
Neuberger and me went on a short transfer and went and watched it in
English at the center building. Normally all of the English speakers
go to the Bayanzurk building to watch conference. Anyway that was
wonderful and it made me really thankful for a living prophet. I
could feel the spirit so strongly throughout the entire conference and
I was so sad when the last speaker finished. I have come to love
conferences. SO this week I really thought about what Elder Holland
said about who do we love. We truly need to ask this question
throughout out lives. Well this week has been a pretty good week and
I am so thankful for all of your support. It looks like the VISA
thing is doing well so far so I am so thankful for your prayers. But
it isn't over yet. so anyway thank you for everything. It sounds
like your week was great this week. Sometimes normal weeks are great.
So I love you and good luck. Love Elder Williams

Dear Little Girls,I love hearing from all of you. So this week was pretty good
for me and I learned a lot of things. But to be honest it really was
the same as all the other weeks of the mission. Though last night we
set a baptismal date with a really great investigator. She actually
came yesterday and watched all of conference and took great notes.
She is doing well and is truly hungering after the word of God. It is
really wonderful to see and I can see the spirit changing her
everyday. Another good thing is we found a young man that seems like
he could have some potential. We were just walking down the street
and my companion talked to him. Later we found out that his sister
had joined the church years ago and was really inactive. So we found
an inactive member and a new investigator. Hopefully that goes well.
So I got to watch conference this week. It was absolutely fantastic.
I felt the spirit the entire conference. I absolutely loved Elder
Holland's talk and also President Monson's and President Eyring's and
President Uchtdorf's and so on and so on. I really liked all of them
to be honest. I just know that I was really sad when it was over. I
really have become to love conference. I think the greatest thing
about this last conference was were Elder Holland kind of made up the
story about the Lord and the apostles. I have really thought about
the question, "Do you love me?" I think that we always need to
remember who are what we love and why we love it. We need to find the
love for the lord and once we find it we can never turn back just like
Elder Holland said. It got me thinking and the one thing I thought
about was that we constantly through life need to ask this question.
Then when we can truly focus on the Lord we can be happy. So that is
something that I really liked. SO it sounds like all of you are doing
great this week. Caelen, it is great to read your happy email as
always. Yeah it is beginning to get really cold here. It is
interesting to already have my ears frozen so early in the year. :)
So Keep loving those puppets. SO Rachel, you rock at frisbee. Just
show all those boys who is really the good one at frisbee. Also good
luck on the really big book. So Rebecca, You sound like you are
having a great time as always being little miss popular up at BYU. :)
JK It is too bad about the BYU game but the reason is because they
don't have you down on the field. Cameron is home in like three
months right? Not cool. My mission is ending so fast and I really
love Mongolia. Well I love all of you and I wish you the best of
luck in all of the things that you are going to do this next week.
Love you. Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
    SO this week has been pretty good but you can read about it in Mom
and Dad's email.  Conference was a blast but it is beginning to get
really cold here.  The river is already freezing over.  That is so
cool that you are learning about other religions right now.  Do you
learn about any of the Asian religions in that class?  Probably not
since half of the Asians don't even understand their own religions.
SO my weight has evened out now but it is still way lower than I was
back home.  My face is so much thinner and my suitcoat and winter coat
are ridiculously huge.  Batbold (our building manager)(church member)
told me that I looked great and that when I got home I shouldn't gain
any weight.  Hopefully I can promise to that which I have learned that
it is pretty easy to maitain a healthy weight.  Just don't over eat.
But to be honest right now I could eat a ton and not have any of it
stay as fat because I walk so much that it is pretty much impossible
to put on weight here.  Good luck on the taco salad and when I get
home in 9 months you should make some for me.  Sorry I didn't get the
chance to talk to Odmaa last week but I will ask.  Well thank you so
much for all the support and thank you for writing me.  When you write
me it makes my P-Day.  Well I love you and good luck up there at BYU.
I love you.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,    SO when I heard about the whole 18 19 year old thing I was kind of shocked.  I thought why in the world would they send out 19 year old sisters.  I then thought that well I was 19 when I left too.  So after that is was just a sign to me that the Lord is speeding up his work here on earth.  It is so cool to be able to see and hear this wonderful news.  We truly are blessed with a living prophet of God on this earth.  A few days back I was reading a scripture in D&C 128 19-24.  It struck me so hard just how wonderful  our gospel is and how we are not just living according to some other church on this earth but are actually living and knowing the truth.  Our church is not only the true church but truth in itself.  I am so glad that I was able to be raised in a family where these restored truths were taught. Thank you so much!!!  This gospel is so amazing and fills me with the spirit every time i think about it.  So that was kind of my spiritual thought for the day.  So i will get to hear conference this next week and am really excited to be able to hear from the prophet.  I can't imagine what it was like to hear all the new revelation live.  That must have been amazing.  I wish I could have heard it live but I will still get to hear it anyways.  So this week has been pretty good.  We have been working pretty hard and we have a great family home evening planned tonight with a member family.  So the one bad thing about this week was the fact that I had food poisoning for a day.  It was a little rough but I got out of it pretty quick.  That day was pretty miserable though.  It might have been all the fat I have been eating lately.  Did I ever tell you that here they sometimes put like solid fat chunks in you food?  They also make like these kebab things and one of the pieces is actually just a huge piece of white fat.  (To be honest it is actually kind of good)  Anyways that shows me I have to not eat big pieces of solid fat as much as i used to but the problem is that if you don't eat their food they get offended so you kind of have to.  So the work is going pretty well.  We found 4 lost sheep this last week which means that they are inactive.  Some haven't come to church for years.  But it is just one facet of the work and that is who we are trying to find at the moment.  So my week has been pretty good.  Well thanks for figuring stuff out at BYU for me.  I know that it is a burden.  Thank you for that.  So this week has been getting cold and we had a little bit of snow flurries today so the winter is coming really quick.  Well i love you and thank you for all the support you are giving me. The church is true and it is wonderful.  This gospel is true and through it we can truly change.  i love you and good luck in everything you do.  Love Elder Williams
 

Dear Little Girls,
     So this week has been pretty good.  All of Mongolia is buzzing about the whole 19 year old sisters that can now come out on a mission.  At first it was a little weird to quite accept but than I realized that heck, I'm young too.  I also thought to the scripture in D&C which states that the gospel will be declared by the weak things of the world.  And that is us for sure.  Anyways so that was really cool to hear despite the fact that I haven't actually seen it yet.  SO I write about my week a little more in my big letter which you may of course read but I just love to talk about the things in your lives because it is so cool to see you all growing up.  so Caelen it sounds like you did fine in drivers ed.  Didn't you like the simulators.  It is just like sitting behind a cardboard box watching TV.  It really is such a joke.  anyway that is sooo cool.  So if you want to get out more you should just go on a date.  What?!!!!  Did I just say that?!!  You can do it just relax and ask a boy to one of the girl's choice dances.  So anyway that is cool.  Rachel, you are just as cute as ever.  I am so glad that you listened well to conference.  It is so cool to see you learning all of those really spiritual things.  You just now need to apply them and then they will benefit you the rest of your life.  You are growing up so much and it scares me a little.  Stop!!!  :)   So Rebecca I am very impressed by your sensitivity.  You really knew what you were writing because it was what I wrote.  You are growing too. I can see it in every email that you send.  So girls the Lord is trying to speed up this work.  That is why he has made it so 19 year old men and women can go and serve the Lord.  It is really neat to see.  It truly showed me that the Lord is guiding this church and that our prophet is truly receiving revelation in the church's behalf.  I was reading out of D&C a few days ago and I found some really cool scriptures that just made me realize just how amazing our gospel really is.  The scripture is D&C 128:19-24. Read it and tell me your thoughts on it. It is so cool to realize just how amazing our gospel really is.  It is almost like right out of a fantasy book.  We should forever shout for joy to know that we were blessed to come to this earth and be born in a family where this truth was taught.  I literally am filled with so much gratitude when I think about it.  This gospel is true.  This church is true.  The power of God is truly here upon the earth and we have the opportunity to see it everyday.  I love you so much and have a wonderful week!!!  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn
SOrry but I forgot...
  Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Kristalyn!!
Happy Birthday to yoooouuu!!
I love you and so does our entire family!!

Dear Mom and Dad,
      So this week has been really good.  My school I teach at is actually quite far away from our house and so it takes a lot of time but normally it is not a huge deal.  So we will see general conference on the 13 and 14 of October.  It is a little wait but it should be really interesting to watch.  There is actually quite a scare over here in Mongolia about whether the world is going to perish this December or not.  There are a whole bunch of theories going around and even church members are thinking something will happen.  In fact I talked to one returned missionary who is inactive and he said that America is preparing to go to war with aliens at the end of the year. The only slightly creepy thing is that he was 100 percent believing in it.  so it has caused many Mongolians to stop and think whether they are going in the right direction or not.  I think that in the end it will help our missionary work.  So that is the way things are here over in Mongolia.  My companion actually asked me if the whole America and aliens thing was true and lets just say I played a little bit with his mind.  Of course I told him after that this was a lie but it was a little funny to kid around with him.  SO anyway we are just having a good time over here in Mongolia.  So anyways it sounds like you are all having a great time over in America.  It has been really fun to see you all grow from this side of the world.  I am so glad that our family has been sealed together in the temple.  As I was thinking I realized that the times I have been the most happy is when I was living the gospel with my family.  Thank you so much for setting the examples that you have.  I love you and wish you the best of luck in everything you do.
Love Elder Williams

PS.  So I forgot to type a little bit about something that has been kind of bothering my mind.  I hope you don't think that I am not working hard here but I realized that in a year I want to go to college and the hard thing is that I can't really do it here from Mongolia.  So I was wondering if you could just kind of see if that kind of thing is possible to do from home and if so I would really appreciate it.  I don't really know what to say other than the fact that I feel like right after my mission I need to go to BYU.  So anyways just kind of surf around a little and see what you come up with.  Please and if not don't worry I can always go and wait a semester like I had originally planned.  I love you and thanks a lot. 
 

SO Dear Little Sisters,
     It is so nice to hear from all of you as always.  I love getting your letters whether they be big or small.  So this week has been pretty good.  Me and my new companion are doing great so far and we have found a lot of new people to teach.  Our work so far has been pretty successful and we have another really golden investigator who really wants to join our church.  So that is a great thing about this week.  So I am also just getting used to my new companion who is really a nice guy.  We are the same group so neither of us is senior or junior which is actually kind of nice.  Our Bishops daughter was baptized this week which was really fun to see.  Also I got to play some basketball today before I taught English which was so nice since I haven't been able to do it much since I came to Mongolia.  So that has been my week.  So it sounds like your week was pretty good.  So Caelen, I am so proud that you got your permit.  Whether you say you want to drive or not I know that eventually you will come to love it.  Just don't drive too fast.  :)  Also Caelen, school is what we make it and if we have a bad day some of that depends on us and how we react to it. Just don't worry and Caelen take and use the advice you always give.  Just keep smiling.  So Rachel,  sounds like you had a rough day but don't worry those days are just things that everybody goes through.  let it go and just have a good time.  anyway just remember that your days are better than you think they are.  Always remember to ask Heavenly Father for help.  He is always there and will literally give you strength to move on and do the things that you need to do.  Also just keep on reading.  It is good for you and you can always learn new words and concepts through reading.  By the way make a rocking chair.  That would be really cool.  So Rebecca, sounds like your week was pretty good.  I loved having the opportunity to hear devotionals every week back in the MTC and always takes notes when you go to one.  There is so much the Spirit can teach you through other people and the talks they give.  By the way great job on your music test and it sounds like you did well on the other one too.  You have always been awesome.  :)  So also you are living the college life.  What a popular little thing you are?!!!!   :)  I love you all and I wish you all the best of luck and just know that your brother is preparing for another Mongolian winter.  I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,     So it sounds like your life is doing pretty good.  Right now I am really having a good time being with my new companion.  He is pretty good and we are doing quite a bit of work.  We have a few new investigators on the way and hopefully we can get one of our investigators baptized in the next few weeks.  So it sounds like your week was awesome.  By the way Odmaa's last name is Dechin or something like that but I don't know if that will help or not. (You might have to write Dechin Odmaa because sometimes there last names are first) I will ask her the next time I meet with her and then you can chat with her.  So it sounds fun that you went over to Springville.  Those were really good times.  I read an interesting article in the Liahona last week and I suggest that you read it.  It was such a great message for me and I think it would be good for you to.  It is titled, "Good things keep on coming"  Anyway so I don't know about the whole VISA thing yet but it seems like I might be okay but I will for sure tell you next week whether to send me money or not.  I can just see you as a little ninja just cleaning houses.  You must have looked so cute.  SO that is also cool that you will be one of Becca's bridesmaids.  I hope you have a blast with that.  So anyway you life does sound pretty awesome.  So my life is really been just about the same.  I am getting really used to Mongolia and I am really just living the missionary life.  it is kind of weird because it is just the way I have been living life but after the mission will be strange for a while.  I just can't believe that I am already a year and almost 2 months into my mission.  I am almost finished and I don't like the sound of that.  So my new companion as I said before is good and we are having a great time.  SO just know that nothing new is really happening right now other than just the work.  Oh by the way there was a guy that told me that all of America is about to go to war with aliens.  That was an interesting experience.  So that is pretty cool.  Well I love you and good luck in everything you do.  Love Elder Williams
