Dear Mom and Dad,
SO today was a really good day but slightly bitter sweet. We went
up to the country and played some sports for about six hours. The
reason we did is because one of the elders out of our MTC group is
going home because of an injury in the MTC. It was cool and we all
got to have a good time with the other elder. He is doing well but he
has to go back. It is possible that he could come back but it would
be hard. Anyway, it was cool because I carried him down the mountain
for quite a ways just because he really can't walk to far on his foot.
I was the biggest so I obviously carried him for the longest distance
but it was still fun. So because of that I really can't write that
much this week. Today was really busy and also that fact is that we
might be homebound during the elections due to the riots that seem to
take place here. Don't worry about me, I will be fine. The one thing
I have come to realize is that the Lord is with us no matter where we
go. So the language is coming along good and now people are all
complimenting on my language skills. The secret was that I just had
to open my mouth more. Oh well. The curse of Elder Williams. So
anyways I am always just striving to talk more and now small; talking
is becoming a little easier. So I am just having a good time. It
sounds like both of you are having a wonderful time back at home. I
hope you both have fun up at the cabin. The weirdest thing this next
week is that I will be 20 this coming Sunday. That doesn't feel
right. I still feel like I am 18. Well that doesn't really matter
except that instead of being a dumb 19 year old I will be a dumb 20
year old. :) Well sorry the email couldn't be that long but I was
really busy today. Next week I will write something for the big
family if you want. I am a little apprehensive about this coming
transfer because I could be put in as a Senior companion or there is a
little possibility of trainer. I don't really want that now and so I
admit I am a little scared but my thoughts are that the Lord won't do
that quite yet. Anyway I love you all and I wish you all the best of
luck.   Love Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters, It is so good to hear from you. Sorry I won't
be able to write a whole lot today because I am really busy. We went
up and visited the Mongolian countryside and it was just gorgeous. It
was just so cool looking and it was like nothing I am really ever
experienced. The sad part is that I didn't get any photos but next
time I will send a whole bunch to you. Well it sounds like all of you
are having a really good time. Rachel, the temple really is a special
place and it is only through going to the temple that we can see what
is really important about life. It isn't about the people we know, or
how famous we get but the great thing about life is to have joy
through the gospel. Caelen, it sounds like you are having a great
time reading and don't tell me anything about any books because I want
to read them. Also just keep remembering great movie lines just for
me. Rebecca, yes being 20 does sound a little strange but so does you
sounding 18. Well my birthday should be a great day just because it
is Sunday. Hopefully a lot of investigators come. Don't wreck
Kristalyn's new car if you drive it. :) Anyways little girls I love
you all and I wish you all the best of luck. Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
YOU GOT A CAR!!!!!!!  I am so jealous of you baikhgui you.  I am
really just wanting to sit down and drive.  I haven't driven in
forever.  So that is really cool and I hope you are a little richer in
the coming months.  I am glad to hear that you got to see Brandon but
that is also really hard at least according to my hearing.  Wish him
luck from me.  Well this week was good but I can't write a lot today
just because I am a little busy.  Anyways today I got out and viewed
the Mongolian country side and it was really cool.  It looked just
like it did in the twilight movie just because it was raining.  Anyway
send me a real picture of your car and then  I will really talk to
you.  I love you and just keep being the greatest little pixie sister
in the world.  I love you.  elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,
So this week has really been a great week. I have learned so
much. So first we had an emergency transfer because my old companion
became zone leader. SO now I am with Elder Woodward and he is a great
elder. I have learned alot about the work in the last couple of days.
First, I learned that I am getting so much better in the language.
It is really great being able to understand everything and being able
to invite people so much easier. I also learned what it means to love
the people. I made a goal to completely step out of my comfort zone
this last week and have completely done it. In the process I began to
realize just how much I love the people in Mongolia. I also learned
that sometimes we need to be very bold in asking our commitments from
people. Yesterday I was bold and forward and in the end it all helped
us all. So one great story from this week. So yesterday I was out
walking in the ger districts and we saw that we were going to pass
three guys. Two of them were drunk and the other was sober. So we
walked by them and then the called us over. (Drunks always talk to
us) Well I walked straight up to one of them and shook his hand. We
talked for quite a while and in the end I made friends with three
drunks. (The other two drunks introduced me to a third drunk as their
American friend) So I did have some fun with them but the thing I
enjoyed was first they were really suprised at how quickly we learned
the language, and also I think we made an impression on the sober man.
He really did seemed really suprised at how friendly and open we were
with them. It was really cool. So this week really has been a good
week. So it sounds like everything at home is doing fine. I hope all
of you have a good trip up north. I am glad that Heavenly Father
allowed us to have that moment. I have no doubt that the Spirit
guided me in writing that. It really wasn't me but it was completely
the spirit. It was really cool because when I was writing that
because when I look back, the idea just popped into my head and I was
never even thinking about it before. The Lord truly does guide each
and every one of us. So the one cool thought that I have had lately
was that when we sacrifice for the lord we find what we are looking
for. It is amazing the blessings we recieve by giving things away. I
was reading in Mongolian yesterday and the quote was by Joseph Smith.
I can't remember it because I can't directly translate it but it
stated that the only true church has to be a church where we are
willing to give up everything for God's sake. I hope that I can
someday be able to say that I would be willing to give up everything
for the Lord's sake just like Job. I love you all so much and
appreciate the sacrifices you have made for me. I have had my eyes
opened to the things that are really important in this life and when
my mission is finished I know right where I am going. I love you all
so much and good luck.  Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,
It sounds like you are all having a great time. I hope you are
really enjoying your summer because I am too. I get just a little
depressed when I think about the fact that I have to go through
another rough Mongolian winter. Anyway one of you asked me a question
as to what I do during the summer. I will still work just like
any other missionary. The only thing we are not allowed to do is to
talk to people about our church unless they ask from us and we can
always ask people for investigators to teach when they are church
members or have invited us into their house. So really I am just like
any other missionary in the world except we just don't go tracting. So
I got a new companion. There was an emergency transfer because my
companion was just moved to zone leader. I am now with Elder Woodward
and it is really great being with him. The last several days I have
really noticed something. I am really loving meeting with people
here. Just over the last two days I really tried to step out of my
shy zone (which has gotten a lot bigger since back at home) and it was
so rewarding. I just enjoyed it sooo much. I just kept like wanting
to talk to people and my language skills are really quickly coming
along. It is a beautiful thing. when you really care about other
people it can make you do anything. I am just having a good time out
here and I am really beginning to feel like the missionary I want to
be. I have been feeling the spirit guide me a lot more over the last
several days and it has been great. So Rachel, your hair looks fine
and you can now look just like vin in mistborn. I am also glad you
learned so much from Mom and Dad. Take advantage of the opportunity
to ask them questions. So Caelen, it sounds like you are doing good.
Don't worry about the picture but still send your testimony if you
can. Also you should put something cool on my ceiling if you can. My
stars are gone so that doesn't really matter. So Rebecca, my college
girl you, it sounds like you are doing great. Good luck with your
college classes. I am glad that I wrote about something that you
could relate to. Well the thing I liked about today is about the many
scriptures that state that if we lose our life for Jesus Christ's sake
we will find it. I am not taking this so literally but the thing I
learned was that if we sacrifice our lives to help build up this
church and make sacrifices for the gospel. If we do this we can
actually find the life we have been wanting. I believe that if we
follow God's commandment we are not giving up freedom but finding it.
I love this part about the gospel. If you have a chance all of you
should look for a church movie called Treasures in Heaven and it is
about the life of John Tanner. I would suggest watching because it is
sooooo spiritual. I love it so much and I feel like it drives my
point home. Well if not just remember that only through the gospel can
we actually obtain a fullness of joy. I love you all and good luck.
Elder Williams

Kristalyn,  Why would I be sorry for having sisters?  You have all
been a wonderful example for me and I don't need a brother.  (Just
marry a good guy)  :)  It really has been good growing up with four
girls instead of a boy.  I really can see how it has helped me grow.
I am glad that was the case.  Well, SO this week was good and I made
some great friends (they were all drunk) which was a blast.  (kind of)
 So really I talk to drunks a lot.  I am so glad you are going to the
temple.  It is so wonderful being there.  I just really can't wait to
where I can step back into those holy doors and just leave like I am
on top of the world.  I feel like the temple gives us a different
perspective of eternity,  It makes us realize that eternity is not
that far away and that we can make it.  I just hope you always
remember that.  Don't ever forget that you can endure to the end.  You
can and I am so happy that I am completely confident saying that about
everyone in our family.  God loves us and so he has given us the way
to go back and be with him.  I love you and good luck.  Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,
At first I will answer your questions so I don't forget them. So,
my branch is a really strong branch. Many good member are in it and
try really hard to live the gospel. I don't really need anything to
give to the youth or anything like that but the one thing I would like
is a testimony about how the gospel has helped each of you. I will
translate them and if they will help an investigator then I will use
it to help them. I might not even do that, it all depends what the
spirit prompts me but I would still like each of your testimonies.
Dad, the Mongolian Elders have complete proselyting freedom in
Mongolia. They can do anything. It is just us. We can not approach
people on the street and talk to them but if they ask us questions we
are allowed to answer. The hard part is that we are a full time
missionary and even though we have a space of about two hours a day we
teach english, we still meet with just as many people as the
Mongolians. We still go out and work out in our area every day the
whole day and we get new investigators through referrals. In fact
yesterday I just placed a referral that hopefully will go well. He
seemed eager to meet us on the phone. They also do have a Called to
Serve in Mongolian. Well this week we met with a few people but
recently our investigators have kind of dropped in numbers. Just none
of them seem to progress that well. We have one really good
investigator that went to the countryside that sounds like he could be
golden but in Mongolia the biggest curse is people randomly leaving to
go camping for three months. Well apart from that the area is doing
pretty good. This week we dug a out house and we also moved a ger.
It was all in one day and we all ended up really muddy but it was
really fun to get to see the people in our branches. Well the thing I
learned today that really kind of struck me was just how much that
Heavenly Father gives us in order to make us grow. I looked back on
my life this morning and realized just how much He has done for me.
He has given me grandparents that are strong in the gospel. He has
given parents that have taught me all about the gospel and how to be a
good person. He has given me wonderful siblings. He has put me in a
ward where He knew I would have great examples. He sent me on a
mission to where He knew I would have to grow the most. I admit on
this mission I have been really humbled. I realize now just how much
we need to rely on the Lord in everyday lives. I also realized that
God will always provide a way for us to do things he command us. I
realize just how much God is trying to make each of us one of his
"precious stones" Well it sounds like all the things at home are
going alright. I hope that my room is okay even though I admit right
now I don't really care. I have kind of stopped caring about things I
own. One of the things in Mongolia is that everyone is very sharing.
Now I still have to watch out on how much I give out, but I feel the
Lord has placed me here to say "Hey Elder Williams, stop caring so
much about thing that don't matter." Well it sounds like all of you
are doing great at home and I wish you all luck. I am thankful for
your prayers and I want you to know that I pray for all of you too. I
love you and I wish you all good luck.
Love Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,
      SO little girls how is life?  SO this week has been pretty good
but it was also really muddy out in my area.  My nice sunday shoes got
a little less nicer.  To be honest I might have to take them into a
shoe fixer pretty quickly.  The funny thing is that there are shoe
fixers like on every block.  We met with a lot of people and my
language skills are still coming along.  I am really beginning to
understand just about everything someone says to me even though I
can't quite repeat back the grammar they used.  So my companion
started teaching at a little preschool this week so I get to sit in
the back and try to remember the vocab I learned before. So this week
I really learned that Heavenly Father really cares about us. This
morning I realized just how much God has really given to us. He
really cares about each of us. He has given me a wonderful life
despite the trials and things that I experience. He has given me a
life that when I look back at it so far, I realize just how much He
has had a hand in my life. It was just a really spiritual experience
this morning. Well I just want all of you to really take a good long
hard look at your life and just see what He has given each of you.
Once you see one thing, it just keeps coming and before to long the
spirit is testifying to you that God has let you experience all these
things to make you grow. I would like each of you to try and just
really see God's hand in your life and how He is trying to develop
each one of you. He is trying to make each one of you His jewels. It
is kind of like Dad grinding. It takes quite a bit of time to make
each stone shine and it is that process through which Heavenly Father
is leading each of you. Well, I am glad that you are all having a
good day. Caelen, it sounds like you are having a good day. By the
way if that is your new hair style in the picture you sent me you look
great!! and if it isn't then I'm sure that looks great too!! Well
Rebecca I like how you anticipated the jokes I would have made about
you in the email. The thing is, that before you can get into limbo
you have to jump high enough to get in and I just don't see you doing
that. :) So Rachel, it sounds like you are having a great week and
a lot of good experiences. I can just see in your email how much you
have grown in one year. It really is quite interesting. SO it sounds
like all of you tried to ruin my bedroom. But if you had kept the
water on you could have gone swimming down in my room. That sounds
like that would be fun. SO my little sisters, just keep your light
shining before men and remember that I love you and I wish you all the
luck in the world. Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
 It is so great to hear from you.  It sounds like you are having a
great week. 
:)  So this week has been great but muddy.  I will send a few more
pictures next week of me in the mud.  You and a car sounds just great.
 You should keep it for meeeeee!!  JK  kind of.  Well that is really
cool and it would be really cool to have it with Rebecca.  So just
forget whatever is happening between you and your friends.  Don't let things
like that bother you.  You should try having a companion that you
don't like.  You can't get away from them.  :)  Anyway so things are
going fine here in Mongolia.  I am just as the Mongolians say it
baij lth bain.  SO know also that you will see Mousie more so don't
get to sad.  He will always be here because you know what,  he is me.
So tonight we get to have a FHE and I am excited.  I wish you luck and
I love you.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad, Well this week has been a really good week. I did
learn quite a bit this week. Well my language is coming along always.
I am also understanding quite a bit more. It is feeling good to
being able talk with people about their lives with ease. It is still
hard but it is a lot easier now if I just open up a little. I also
did a lot of service. All in one day. So first we started mixing
cement for a returned missionary in our ward boundaries. That was
quite an experience. Well I learned how to make really terrible
cement. (It was filled with a lot of dirt) Well after that we went up
and carried huge barrels of water up the mountain. That was really
hard and my hands were exhausted. Well after that we went up and dug
into the side of a mountain so we could flatten it out for a ger.
That was also quite hard especially after all the other service. Then
after me and my companion decided to finish off a hard day with more
service just to finish it all in one day. So we went and tilled a
garden with the shovels. It was quite a fun experience When I got
home I was exhausted and absolutely filthy. It felt so good to go to
sleep that night. Well we also had some great times in my new area.
My area is a lot flatter than the other area which is really cool but
I don't feel as tired due to the fact that I am not walking up
mountains (hills) anymore. They are really steep hills though.
Anyway it has been a great day so far. We also went to a puzzle
museum this last week but I couldn't grab any pictures. It was still
fun anyway. So it sounds like everything is going good at home. It
got a little colder here too but it feels like it will warm up
quickly. Well I really do feel bad for Becky. She worked so hard for
that and I wish I was there so I could hug her and make her feel
better. (She is my sister so I think I am allowed to say that) :)
But I know she did good anyway. Well this week I have got the general
conference talks and they have been wonderful to read. I am just
enjoying myself so much reading them. I feel the spirit and it makes
me feel alive and want to go and help the whole world. Sometimes it
is hard being in Mongolia because I want to talk to everyone but I am
not allowed to. I just have to make sure I am representing Jesus
Christ all the time. I am just so happy for the gospel in my life.
If there is one thing I have seen here it is just how much the lack of
the spirit affects people. It just looks like they have no purpose in
life. I am just so grateful for the purpose I have in my life. With
the purpose in life it makes me look forward to the rest of it and
makes me think of the joy to come. I love you all and I thank you for
your prayers and examples. I love you and good luck.
Love,  Elder Williams



Dear Little Sisters,
So this week has been pretty good. So this week I went back to my old
area on a split and that was fun and I also managed to teach an
investigator the first lesson. That was really cool to see. Also two
days ago we did an entire day of service. That was pretty hard.
First we went and mixed cement for a returned missionary in our
branch. Let's just say that is was quite heavy. Next, we had an
elder from another branch call us for some help to carry some water
for some investigators. It ended up being really hard carrying up all
that water up the side of an mountain. Then the sisters called and
said they had a little service that some of their investigators
needed. So we went up to the side of the mountain and dug into it to
flatten the land out for a ger. Then finally at the end of the day we
went and helped a less active member with her garden. When we got
home we were so sore and exhausted. The good thing was that we
managed to get it all done in one day. SO that was the highlight for
my week. So Rachel, you are out of school. I hope you have a good
time and I also hope that you keep running. Being healthy is a good
thing to be!!! I know you are pretty much already healthy so know
that wasn't a fat joke. Also tell me how that book is that you are
reading. Well Caelen the six pack might happen if I put more will
into it. It is just so hard to get up in the morning and do sit ups.
By the way good job on giving a talk in sacrament meeting. I'm sure
you did great. I am really proud of you. So Rebecca, I admit what
happened to you really just made me depressed. I know how that would
have felt. I also would have felt just sad. Rebecca, just know that
it doesn't matter what the world thinks. First, Heavenly Father knows
who you are and your talents and that is more important than anything
else. Second, you know who you are and you know how hard you tried.
Even if others couldn't hear you, you sang your hardest and that is
what matters. Third, just know that people do know you are a
wonderful girl. Rebecca if there is one thing I could say to you I
would say that you are an example for so many people. It doesn't
matter if they couldn't hear you. Yes it would have been nice if you
had been able to have people hear you but know that the most important
people know who you are. Rebecca don't you worry about how people
look at you. But I do think that they look at you in a way you can't
even see. Just relax and know that Heavenly Father, our family,your
friends and me love you. Well little girls I love you all and I wish
that all of you will have a wonderful time. Just enjoy the summer and
don't stress. Just take a deep breath and keep on moving. I learned
that even if life feels like it is moving too fast all you have to do
is realize that life was meant to move forward. Without moving
forward we would never learn or progress. I love you and good luck.
Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
Thank you so much for the email.  I hope you are having a good summer.
 Please help Rebecca feel better.  I love all of you so much and when
something like that happens to one of you it almost wants to make me
cry.  Just comfort her and have fun with her.  So I am so grateful for
your example.  I really hope you are doing well at the temple.  The
joy involved in the gospel is just amazing.  I was reading the Liahona
today and it just made me look forward to sooo much of the blessings
ahead.  The blessings of a family, of raising children, of going to
the temple and much much more.  If you look at life in one aspect it
makes life look like a wonderful experience.  We just have to look at
the eternal perspective.  That is the most important thing.  I love
you and I miss you and I wish you luck.  by the way that picture of
Ulaanbaatar is actually a dust storm no clouds.  well good luck and I
love you.  Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,
I am so glad to have been able to talk with you this week. I am
really grateful for that conversation. SO this week has been pretty
good. I really enjoy being with my new companion in a new area. It
has been really good there. My Mongolian is improving which is
always a blessing from god. I am just doing well here in Mongolia.
My last final to give is this Wednesday. I can't wait for that to be
over. It is a little stressful. SO also this week filmed me in like
a little interview and I think they are trying to show to other people
that their school has foreigners. They even filmed my old companion
who doesn't even teach there. It was really kind of funny though
because they are really just trying to make their college look really
good. I felt like me and him were talk show hosts. So anyway I am
forever in Mongolia on video which is kind of cool. So Mongolia is
still the same but now I am in more of a flat area. The new area is
really beautiful and I am going to get some pictures of it soon. Well
today has been kind of busy so sorry but i am sending Kristalyn some
more photos so you should be able to see those. Also Grandma thank
you for the letter. I am really glad to hear from you too. I am so
grateful for this gospel. Without this gospel we really couldn't be
happy in this life. That is what I feel and know to be true. I
thought about it (not that I have any doubts) and even if this gospel
wasn't true and would still be happy with my life because it truly
does bring more joy than anything else I've seen or experienced. I
guess that is one of that testimonies that tells us that it is true.
Well, I love all of you and I wish you all the best of luck.
Dear Little Sisters,
All of you commented on how skinny I've gotten. that is kind of weird.
Anyway so this week has been pretty good. I am right now with my
companion going to try and build up some better muscles. :)
Apparently from the other Elders I have gotten to know that I could
get a six pack if I worked hard. That is how much weight I have lost.
Anyway I will see. I might just get to lazy. So my new companion is
great and we are having a good time right now. My last English final
is this Wednesday so that should be fun. (I really hate cheaters)
Also my companion might possibly teach English at a new place so I get
to sit in the back and watch him teach. So this week sounds pretty
good back at home. Caelen, it sounds like you just need to rest that
hip of yours. Rachel, tech is really fun. I think you should like
it. Also enjoy the end of the year at school and most importantly
have a good summer. Well Rebecca I have wanted to see a solar eclipse
my whole life. It looks like you got that great opportunity. Hey you
just go and solo it up at the graduation for me okay? Hey girls I
love you and I wish you all the best of luck.

Dear Mom and Dad,
So first I will tell you about my week. So this week we were told
that sisters would move into our apartment and so what happened was
that we are now living with another two elders. We are all Americans
so we speak a lot of English but somehow my Mongolian is rapidly
improving. Also this week we met with a lot of investigators. My
little convert Anujin didn't come to church but her uncle did The
uncle seems to be a rough guy on the outside but really actually seems
interested in our church. He has already had some church contact and
we just want him to meet with us more which might be very possible.
Elder Verducso and me are doing fine but it is getting hot and so that
means that wearing the suit coats is a little harder. So I will be
skyping at 9:45 in the morning here and that means that you will be
getting the call at 7:45 in the evening. Be waiting a little early
just so we won't have scheduling problems. Well the English is almost
done for the summer which should be a nice break. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY
DAD!!!! I hope I could get enough emotion through the computer.
There is one thing I can't believe. I still can't believe that Trent
and Mckay are waiting for there calls. It is so weird. Wish them
good luck for me. They are making the best decision of their lives.
Well it sounds like the new lawn mower is pretty good. Don't let Mom
get too crazy with the garden though. :) The thing I learned the
most this week was that I can speak this language better and better.
I just need to relax and just say what the spirit directs me to do.
Well other than that this week has been just a good week. I really
don't have a lot to say other than that the weather is getting really
nice but also really dusty. I am just trying to be a good missionary.
By the way I put in a lot of miles myself here when it comes to
walking in the mission field. But I think I will pass on the 50 miler
because we all know that it will turn out to be about 70. Well I love
you all and I hope that all of you are having a great spring. Love
Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,
SO this week has been pretty good. My language skills are really
starting to get better which is always a good thing. So it sounds
like all of you are having a great time with school getting out and
all. Rachel, it sounds like you are doing great. I am also glad you
get to go to the temple again because at the temple we can truly feel
the Holy Ghost. The thing I would ask you to do is go to the temple
with a question in your mind. If you go with a question the Holy
Ghost is so strong that you will be able to find the answer to it.
That is what I always enjoyed. The peace in the temple is something
that can not be duplicated anywhere. No man made contraption or
theory or anything else can bring peace into your life like the temple
can. By the way, great job on the math. Before you know it you can
teach Rebecca and Caelen math :) So Caelen, I still have lost a
little "wait" Actually not that much but I actually like it off.
Yeah that super hero thing sounds great but Mistborn is better and we
both know it. :) Well I hope you are having a good time and I would
ask a favor from you. Draw a picture about your favorite Book of
Mormon example (make it really good) and send it in my next package
with a reason of why that is your favorite prophet missionary or etc.
I would like to show the people I teach and I will translate what you
write. In fact, all of you girls do that for me. So Rebecca, I am so
glad to have heard from you. I can't believe that Jamie is home. It
seems just like a few months ago that she left. I am also glad you
have been thinking about what the gospel has done for you. It is
amazing how much we don't see when it is right in front of our noses.
The peace in our family life can not be found anywhere but only
through the gospel. Also don't worry about that AP Psych test. It is
not hard especially with as hard as you studied. So the thing I would
tell you to do is don't stress. If you stress you lose things. Also,
don't stress about trying to be not stressed. :) If you relax
everything will work out. So girls this week has been good and I am
really happy for you. I am still trying to get Anujin baptized but
she didn't come to church this last week but her uncle did. That
would be really cool if we could get her uncle baptized. Anyway we
are trying and she will be baptized eventually. So all of you girls
thank you for your support and just remember that life is good. Hey,
good luck and have a good day!!! Remember that happiness is YOUR
decision. Well I love you. PS see you in a week!!
Love Elder Williams

Kristalyn,
Sorry I will absolutely remember pictures next time.  Well Kristalyn
the first thing I can tell you is that the first problem is that
saying that you damaged that friendship in the first place.  It is all
about attitude.  There is a very simple answer to your problem.  Just
forget it.  Well I know that everything will work out for your good.
So the love for the people is quite an interesting thing.  You don't
feel it until you think about going and leaving and that is when I am
beginning to become depressed that I will leave here one day.  I am
really going to miss this place.  So I will see you in a few days on
skype which will be fun.  Hey just have a good day and remember that
life isn't that bad if you are grateful for everything you have.

Dear Mom and Dad,
   This week has been a really good week so far and I am just trying to learn Mongolian.  So, this week I went on an exchange with an elder in my district and though he is older than me he still struggles with the language more than I do.  So that meant that I was really having to talk a lot.  So this week I pretty much taught 3/4 of the lesson and I did really good through the Lord's help.  I pretty much taught the whole lesson by myself and I extended her the baptismal commitment.  She will hopefully be baptized in 2 weeks but if it is a little longer that is still okay.  So I guess what I learned this week is that even though I this language is one of the hardest in the world I can still be a tool in the Lord's hands to teach people.  I also felt the spirit testifying through me when I was teaching which was a really special experience for me.  I really enjoyed that lesson and I hope I can have another one like it.  I guess my Mongolian has improved quite well lately do to the fact that it is getting easier to communicate with people.  So I am glad to hear about the family back home.  I also am grateful for the scriptures you sent me mom.  They are really good and I can't believe I missed them when I was reading there.  I guess that goes to show that the spirit can guide you to the things that we specifically need to learn in the scriptures.  Lately I have noticed that if I come with a question in my mind before I read my scriptures I really learn so much more and the answer to my question is always found.  I have found so much peace out of the scriptures and I will forever use them to find my answers.  Well Dad, thank you for the story.  I really hope everything works out.  I hope that you can see them again.  I know that this will be a great moment for the family if you can all meet again.  The Lord's plan for families is one of happiness and I just can't wait for the happiness to come if this all works out.  Well Mom and Dad, I am doing fine here and I just hope all of you are having a good day.  PS.  Sorry about the pictures I forgot my cord but I will send them next time.  I know that this is probably getting annoying and for that I am sorry but I will send them eventually and.  Well I love all and good luck.  Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,
WHEN I AM GONE, DON'T GROW UP AT ALL!!!!!  Just kidding.  Well Caelen it sounds like you are having a good week this week.  Also good luck on finding that math assignment.  Chi chadna.  (You Can!)  Anyway so yeah just remember all the really good days and remember the really good days that will come probably tomorrow.  Every day is a good day if you make it that way.  So Rachel, you little reader you!  I am glad you enjoy the book series.  That sounds really awesome.  Also I am proud of you for enjoying helping Sister Woolsey.  It sounds like you helped her a lot.  Remember that service is the key to making yourself happy.  So Rebecca, this David guy sounds like he is okay.  I think I might give you permission to go on another date.  I am still deciding so don't rush.  Also you got like the coolest solo in the world!!!!  I am so proud of you.  Send me a recording.  Also good job on getting your young womens' Medallion.  You are doing what the Lord wants you to do.  So this week was pretty good.  It did get cold again but I will eventually be 100 % warm.  So we managed to meet with a lot of investigators and this week I pretty much taught an entire lesson by myself in Mongolian which was a really good confidence booster for me.  I taught our little investigator Anujin and I also set her baptismal date if she prepares like she needs to.  I felt the spirit so strong that lesson. It was like a constant warm burning in my heart.  I really enjoyed it and when the lesson was over I was just so .......joyful I guess.  It was really cool and spiritual.  I just hope she can be baptized before I leave this area.  Well I will just keep working hard and I hope you are all having a good time.  Well I wish you all good luck.  Bi ta nart khairtai shuu.  I Love you all.  amjilt khusie.  Good luck.  ta narin shaltgaalt amarkhan baikh bolho!!  Your tests will be easy.   Don't worry.  Elder Williams


Dear Kristalyn,  Thank you for the skype account.  I am doing good so far and don't worry about me I am having a good time.  So I have only had 1 convert and I haven't baptized anyone and I haven't seen any really big miracles but the one thing I learned is that there are small miracles going on around us each day.  Often times we are peoples miracles and we don't even realize it.  I just learned the secret is watching for these little things.  It doesn't matter if we are missionaries or members but these things are happening all the time.  I also am amazed at what the Lord has made.  It is just breathtaking sometimes and we are only seeing a little part of it.  And he made it all for us.  He loves us so much that he created some of the most beautiful things for you and I to see.  Well good luck and I hope you are doing well.  Also keep going and watching star wars for me.  :)  Well I love you.  Love Elder Williams
