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

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

       :)   Just kidding I love you and well keep up the great work up at BYU.  Well keep up the great work and you are such a great example.  Well I love all of you and keep up the great work.  Love Elder Williams

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

Dear Mom and Dad,
     This week has been pretty good so far.  So this week has been pretty normal and well me and my companion are just running into people everyday.  We got a new investigator from Darkhan recently which seems like she will do really well.  Well this week has been full of English, baptismal interviews and many many other little things but all in all we managed to teach more lessons than we did the last several weeks.  So the week went okay.  Well other than that there is nothing new other than the fact that I learned an hour ago that I will be housing another two elders for the next week and a half.  Well that was out of nowhere.  So it sounds like your week is doing well.  It sounds like it is kind of fun to babysit.   Well I do agree that time is flying by way too fast.  This mission is definitely going by toooooo fast.  But I guess I will continue to work my hardest.  I really can't wait to have some bread sticks from Pizza Factory.  I admit that quite a few Mongolians food have also grown on me.  I will really miss huurshuur.  Well sorry there isn't much to write so next week I will write a little more.  Well I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams  


Dear Sisters,
 Uh, uh uh uh.  (me clearing my voice)  .........drum roll...............HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR REBECCA!!!!!!!!! HAPPY (please imagine harmony in this section) BIIIIRRTHDAY TOOOO YOUUUUU!!!!!  (now imagine a whole bunch of people yelling (whooooooo))  Happy Birthday Rebecca!!!  I can't believe that you are 19.  You are so old!!!  Next year you will be 20!!  Well that is so awesome!!! Well it sounds like you have had a little bit of a stressful week.  I hope that you are okay now and just know that all of that testing stuff will be over.  I also hope that you all had a wonderful time up at breakfast.  Just know that I was eating aruul over here for breakfast or sometimes tarag.  (flavorless yoghurt)  Actual pretty good.  Well other than that this week has been pretty normal.  Well keep up watching those movies for me and later just go ahead and try become like ironman for me.  I know you can!!!!!  You are soooo coooool!! Rebecca just keep up the good work and before you know it you will have lived for two decades.  Well Caelen,  my young padewan keep up the great work in the galaxy.  Before you know it you will have the universe at your fingertips.  I know that is cheesy  but it is a pretty cool line.  yeah so I can do the whole like build a ger thing but I am not so good at the whole throat singing thing.  Well it sounds like you are doing good on the whole last apprentice thing.  Great book series.  And keep up the whole like line drawing thing.  (I realize that sounds pretty stupid because everyone draws with lines)  (But you understand me)  Well keep up destroying the witches and you may use some of the force to do that.  Hey Rachel,  you are great.  Hey that whole lockdown thing sounds a little scary but I am sure that if he had come into the school that you could have just taken him down.  Nobody messes with Rachel.  Good job on that whole primary toys things.  I am sure that all of those little kids loved having clean toys to suck on.  By the way don't get too big into cage fighting now.  I don't want you hurting people when you go in.  Well also that whole science project sounds really good.  You rock!!!!! don't think that was too cheesy.  Well little girls I love you all and keep up the great work.  I love you.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
      So this week has been pretty good.  All of a sudden out of nowhere I have 2 new missionaries moving into my home.  SO I have to go and clean that up really good plus wash all of my clothes and let me just say that it made my day a little more stressful than before but the good thing is is that it should be fun.  Well yesterday was pretty weird because we met with an ALA who begged us for money and for a whole bunch of things.  It was really hard because he was really being persistent but I had already had decided to not buy things on the sabbath.  The one funny thing was that he told us that he would never come to church again and that he would tell the mission president.  But we caught him in his bluff when we told him that that was fine and that he should do it right away.  As we started walking away he called us back and asked us to come back and then he continued to beg from us.  Well other than that nothing much more has been happening.  Well it sounds like your week has been really interesting.  I hope that you get over sickness this next week.  I really wish that I could have been there at Denny's with you because I was probably eating something like rice with milk for breakfast.  Well we should hopefully have a baptism in the next few weeks.  Many many different things.  Well hey don't worry about that question last week I was just answering it.  Well other than that things are going normal as always.  Well I hope that Jordan is talking to you a lot.  Well I love you so much and good luck this next week.

Dear Mom and Dad,This week was a really good week. Well I did eat a lot more buuz
this week and let me just say that I am really sick of buuz right now.
I have eaten probably over 100 this week and I really don't even want
to really look at another one for like another week or two or month.
Well I went around in our deel for a few more days and then I stopped
because it really drew attention though most of it was good. Well
also my companion got a little sick on the last night we were eating
buuz so we went home a little early. Well you saw some of my
pictures. So my favorite one is probably the one with the sisters
just because I rarely get pictures with the sisters. Well I did sing
as an alto in our MTC group quartet of I am a child of god or Bi
Burhanii huuhed tul. Great song and it sounded really good. Well we
didn't have a ton of lessons this week but it was okay because we were
literally eating at everybody's house. Let me just say that having
somebody offer your a snuff bottle of tobacco on the bus is really
hard. We don't have to snuff it but you at least are supposed to
pretend to snuff it. And on a moving bus it is really hard. A lot
Mongolians think that we are russian so they will sometimes really
respect us and speak in Russian to us. Funnily enough the Mongolians
really respect the Russians in fact there is a statue of several of
the famous communist leaders in the city. Actually one of them just
recently disappeared. No one can really explain how a whole big
statue disappeared but it has. Well other than that we also had Zone
Conference this last week. That was really fun and I learned so much
about it especially the atonement. I always thought I understood the
atonement correctly but just recently I had to readjust my thinking of
it a little bit. Well that was a blast. The beginning of this week
was actually really warm but it just dropped again so who knows when
it will get warm again. I started teaching English again today. They
gave all of the really hard classes to me just because I guess they
figure I am young and I can take the rowdy classes. There are 2 older
couples that teach at my school too and they gave all of them my old
classes. Well it will be an interesting semester. The girl that I
failed didn't complain to me today and I think it is because she knows
that she really cheated. Well it was an interesting day today. Well
other than that there is really no other big news other than the fact
that a new mission president has been called. He served in Mongolia
in 1996 and so did his wife. They are both really young and have 4
little children. That should really be a change for the mission here.
Apparently since President Clark came to Mongolia on emergency notice
he will only be here for 2 years. Well other than that the news is
the same. Well it sounds like home is okay and I hope that the
missionaries ate plenty of food on my behalf because believe me, I
have eaten a lot on their's. Well it is so cool that you got to go to
the temple. I can't wait to go to the temple myself. Well this week
was really just Tsagaan Sar. Well I love you all and wish you the
best of luck. Love Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,
So this week has been really good and it has been so nice to be
able to read your emails. I love reading your emails every week.
Well you can read all about my tsagaan sar in the other email. Well
this week I learned a lot of different things about the atonement from
our mission president. I thought I had understood it correctly before
but I guess I really didn't quite understand it all the way. I had
always kind of thought that Jesus kind of like took the demands of
justice on himself for us but that isn't quite true. It isn't fair to
have 1 man die in place for another one and so this isn't satisfying
justice at all. (See Alma 34) I really want to explain it in this
email but it would fill my entire email. Also it is really hard to
understand at first but now I get it a little better. I would explain
more but just read like Alma 34 and think about how one man can't die
in place for another. It makes judgement look quite a bit different.
Anyways I am still struggling to comprehend it but the scriptures make
sense. Well sorry about that rant. Well Caelen, why are you so star
struck over a few missionaries that taught you how to tie a tie? I
can teach you how to build a ger but I don't see you talking about me
that way. Just kidding :) WEll keep up the good work. Rachel,
Congratulations!!!! You have finished the book of Mormon. Now the
question is have you tried Moroni's promise? Go ahead and try it. By
the way I hope that you buy me a blizzard when I get home because the
one thing that Mongolia is truly lacking is blizzards. Hey Rachel,
good luck on your sickness. Just sleep good and long and drink plenty
of liquids and get over it. Be thankful that you aren't here because
if you were you might have to drink your mother's......Well you can
figure that out. Well Rebecca, you are so popular!!!!!!!! yeah this
week was really warm. I was sweating so much when it got up to 8.
Yeah.....I mean it. :) Hey congratulations on being "pretty
productive" I am sure that movie pizza cookies and ice cream party
was like the most best thing you have ever done!!! Eat plenty for me.
Well I hope that you enjoyed Pride and Prejudice........kind of. How
is that movie even slightly entertaining? I think I would enjoy
myself more by watching you eat top ramen in slow motion.
YEah.....that boring. Toglison youm maa. Just kidding:) Well
little girls have a great week this next week and I hope that all of
you start feeling better. Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
   Well the week has been good and you can learn about that in my
other email.  Let me just say that I ate way to much.  I think I also
ended up drinking some like Milk vodka but I am not too sure.  All I
know is that the older couple drank it first so I just followed right
after him.    Well I learned alot about the atonement this week.  SO
 I will tell you after my mission because it is way to much to write in an email. 
  I am really excited about it.  Well happy valentine's day.  I
finally told my english classes that I have a girlfriend or I at least
didn't deny the fact that I had one.  I did this just because it makes
it a lot easier in the classroom where you have a whole bunch of young
single adults.  Well english has started again and they have given me
all of the rowdy classes just because they don't want the older couple
missionaries to have to teach them.  The good news is that my school
will be getting a new missionary in the next few weeks so that will
really hopefully help my schedule.  Well other than that I am just
surviving the temperatures of Mongolia.  It actually got up to 8
degrees and boy that was actually pretty warm.  Well I love you and
just keep up the good work back at home.  I love you and good luck.
Love Elder Williams

So Dad and Mom speaking of Tsaagan Sar or White month it is today therefore with all of the internet places closed I won't be able to write a lot today.  I just wanted to tell you that everything is okay and that we are all just having a really good time.  I guess I will tell you about my day today.  So first me and Elder Flint went out to a member in the Sukhbaatar branch with a couple and a two sisters that are in my district.  It was really fun and we were there also kind of as translators.  Well that was really fun and me and my companion looked really good in our deels.  I will send some pictures of all of that next week.  Well after that we also were invited by a cute little family up on the top of a mountain where me and my companion once again did a little translating for another couple in our branch.  well it was really fun but in the end we ended up having to change a flat tire in really cold weather.  So the secret to changing a tire in below zero is just that........  changing it.  No one else is there to do it but you.  So anyways we got that changed really quickly and got back on our way.  This week is a little bit harder on the whole missionary side of things because during Tsaagan Sar it really isn't that acceptable to teach lessons and sometimes you can offend them by doing it.  Well that once fun anyways and me and my companion are really full right now.  Luckily we are kind of free the rest of the night so we are doing okay right now.  But if we had another we really would have exploded for sure.  Let me just say that those buuz despite how small they are, are really filling.  Well so far the count isn't that high but I will eat more.  I just don't want to have to resort to vomiting to make space for more food.  (Some Elder's do that or others just drink a lot of Coke)  Well there was a mongolian that said that if we drank Vodka it would help keep us healthy over Tsaagan Sar.  I'm not too sure about that.  Well don't worry, I don't plan on drinking any vodka.  Well sorry that the email is a little shorter right now but due to all of the hustle and the bustle we don't have a lot of time for a long email right now.  well I love you and just keep up the good work there in Utah.  Love Elder Williams   PS  It will eventually warm up.....or I am at least hoping that.   :)

 Sisters,
Hey I love you all and I can't write much this week due to white month holiday.  But you are all awesome and just keep up the smiling faces.  Love you and send you some pictures next week.
 
Kristalyn,
Yes you are my favorite older sister.  Sorry I can't write hardly any at all today due to today being white month holiday.  So don't worry I am doing fine and I am really saddened by our cousins unfortunate news.  Well I love you and just keep up being you.  Promise to write you more next time.

 Dear Mom and Dad,
So this week has been really good. So I got my new companion
named Elder Flint. He is really good and he is from Colorado but he
lived in Payson about a year before he came out on his mission. Well
he is actually taller than me and so that makes us the tallest
companionship in the Mongolian mission field. It is really funny
seeing the both of us being on a bus. Well also this week has been a
little warmer. We are starting to see a little bit of snow melt but
to be honest it will probably snow a little more before spring. Well
this week was good because we had one of our investigators come to
church. He is doing pretty good and he has a lot of church friends.
SO Mom asked me what I eat for breakfast and I would have to say the
it ranges from Cream of Wheat (In Mongolia they call it children's
rice) or eggs or maybe if I am in a good mood oatmeal. Every once and
a while we get cereal but that is pretty expensive here and the cream
of wheat stuff is dirt cheap. So that is what I eat for breakfast.
So speaking of Odmaa as far as I know she is doing well. She is
actually living in India right now but she should be coming back
pretty soon. After that if she did well on her tests she will try and
study in America or if she didn't do too well she will study in China
for a little while and then come to America. She told us that one of
her goals in life is to go to the Salt Lake Temple and knowing her it
is possible that she will get there. So the question is what kind of
suit should I make? I could get one custom made here for really
cheap. Speaking of that I actually found a woman that makes Mongolian
ties and she is making three for me right now. It is really
inexpensive and I thought Dad would want one so I went ahead and did
it. Well for some reason all of the things I did this last week are
kind of escaping my mind. Oh yeah so my Mongolian language is really
doing better with the Lord's help. He is really helping me. Right
now I actually am translating about every Sunday for the older
missionary couple in my branch. I translate from Mongolian to English
and then the returned missionaries from America translate from English
to Mongolian. It is just easier that way. So that has really showed
me that the Lord has really helped me. I'm still not perfect and
probably will never be but I'm doing pretty good. Iam sorry But
mykeyboard died.

 Dear Little Sisters,
  You are the shuu. You guys are truly good examples to all of your
friends. Just keep up the good work and remember bi ta nart hairtai.
(I love you both) Well this week has been pretty good and I have got
a new companion now named Elder Flint. He is doing really well and
this is my first companion that is actually taller than me. Well he
is doing really well and the both of us are the giants of the mission.
Well I will have to send you pictures of him later. The problem is
that this new really nice computer lab I am sitting in doesn't seem to
have that many flash drive outlets so anyways maybe next week. Well I
am still in my old area so that is great. Well it sounds like your
week was pretty good this week. Caelen I am so proud that you have
finished your time with Noen Corry. (yeah that's right, I wrote it in
Mongolian) :) I bet you were totally freaking out during the test.
Well it wasn't as hard as you thought right? Now just take the test
and you will have a license. I can't wait for you to drive me around
when I get home. Everyone kind of has a different driving style and I
can't wait to see yours. Well ceramics sounds really great. And that
whole guy thing sounds really interesting. Just don't talk to him for
the rest of your life. :) So the whole Geo cashing sounds really
fun. I really will enjoy those more often now that I literally walk
everywhere. I look so funny in the mirror now. I am soooo skinny.
It is so weird. I feel like Big Bird. Anyway I just barely
remembered the jack frost game and can't wait to play it again with
you. That was really fun you and me just kind of having stupid fun on
the computer. Well Rachel, I am so glad that you have survived
coming back to school. That sounds really great. That sounds so
cool that you just watched movies all day long. I haven't done that
in well....a long time. Just make sure to get Shylo to curl up on the
couch next to you. WEll I hope the whole Romeo and Juliet thing was
good. I never really liked Shakespeare but I heard a few of his plays
are good. Something like that. Well that whole movie thing is really
good of you. SO many people fall into a trap of spiritual
insensitivity to things like that. I'm glad that you understand but
we always, always need to watch out for things like this. It will be
a battle our entire lives to try and now what is good and what is
wrong. Well I love you little girls sooooo much and just want you to
know that you are truly really great. Well bayartai and amjilt husie.
 (Good bye and good luck) PS. I am getting pretty good at mongolian.
 (with the lord's help)

Kristalyn,
Well I was able to write a little bit more to you it seems like.  Well
thank you for writing me and I really appreciate you.  It sounds like
you are really having a good time up there right now.  I will try and
send some really good pictures next week.  I am writing from my new
companion's english sponsor so I will probably always be writing a
little earlier now.  Well I don't know if rebecca will email me in
time but if she doesn't just tell her that I love her a lot.  Anyways
I really can't wait to come and chill with you when I get home.  Also
great job on playing bingo with old people.  I have really come to
enjoy old people ever since I have come into the mission field and
been around the older couple missionaries. Of course they aren't that
old but it is still really fun to talk with them.  My personality has
actually changed in that way and I really have become to enjoy talking
with people.  Well I love you soo much and keep up the great work up
and BYU.  I know that you are doing a wonderful job.  Good luck and I
love you. Love Elder Williams

 Dear Mom and Dad,
    So this week has been really good and well before I talk about your crazy week I will talk about my good week.  So the good thing is I finally have a good language story for you.  Well we were talking about prophets to one of our new investigators.  (By the way he is the one whose car we pushed for a mile)  Anyways my companion was trying to teach about how a prophet needed to have authority from god.  So he asked the question so can anyone just be a prophet?  Well the investigator said,  well if I ever see this prophet guy I will fight against him i won't be put into slavory in fact I might even kill him!!!  How does that sound!!!  Well at this moment my companion's mouth opened wide and well lets just say that I was also a little flustered.  how did our lesson go soooo wrong.  Well I noticed that as he was talking he used the word slavery.  Well I then realized that he had mistaken what my companion said and that instead of prophet he heard the word enslaver.  Well so we taught our investigator that God calls people to enslave others every dispensation.  Well luckily we caught it and we fixed it.  The lesson ended well but lets just say that it was really interesting at the beginning.  Well other than that it has warmed up quite a bit here lately.  the really cold Mongolian winter hasn't really hit this year.  Well that was really good.  So it sounds like your week was a little stressful this last week.  I'm so glad to hear that Mom is still cancer free.  That is such a relief.  Well it truly showed me that the Lord's hand is in all of your lives.  Well the whole van thing sounds like that was really fun.  I have only been in a few minor accidents here and let me just say that Mongolians really know how to drive on ice.  Well that is really cool that we have a new member in the ward.  I really appreciate people like you dad who do their callings every week in teaching sunday school.  Or even if you are just filling in for someone else it really helps.  Well I was really touched by the whole thing with Mom and the other sister.  It made me realize a few things.  I won't write all of them but let me just say that Mom you are a blessing to all of those who are going through what you did.  It also made me realize that we truly are the Lord's disciples.  We are the ones to pass his light to others.  this week has really had me thinking about how the Lord is our light.  Through him we are saved.  But even though he has suffered for everyone's sins he has not eliminated our own loyalty to him.  By following his commandments we are truly able to be saved.  Jesus is the Christ, and i am so grateful that I can represent him here in the land of Mongolia.  I told Grandma how strange it is to think that Cameron is coming home soon.  It makes me realized just how fast time passes and how we need to always be a good example.  It also is making me realize just how much I will miss the land and especially the people of Mongolia.  I love them so much.  Well if you see cameron just say hello to him from me and tell him to practice any gaming skills he can because let him know that I have plans to bring back a few games from Mongolia.  Well he truly was a good example for me in going on a mission.  Well I love you all so much and continue to be a wonderful example of being a family living by the principles that our Savior has given us.  Well I love you sooooo much and good luck.  Love Elder Williams


So dear little sisters,
  So lets just say that having our mini van wrecked is one of the last things I expected to hear from you but you know, it did make things exciting.  Well that sounds really interesting.  so we got in a bus accident one time.  Nobody was hurt but it did put a pretty good size dent in the car it hit.  The ice here is really funny.  you will see the bus drive into the station and the front tires slide like ten feet.  It is really slippery here.  It does make things interesting and lets just say that Mongolians really can drive well on ice.  I fell for the third time by the way.  It was coming down an icy road on a mountain and before i knew it I was looking up at the smoky sky.  Well it made things interesting.  Well it was really cool this last week.  We are having a little bit of a warm up.  To be honest all the Mongolians were saying that this was going to be one of the coldest winters in a long time but it really hasn't been too bad so far.  It is actually warmer than last year.  Well Caelen I hope that you are doing well with heir corry.  I promise that it is a little scary at first but in the end it was actually nice.  I also kind of like watching other kids mess up.  :)  Well good luck on ceramics.  I sure you will kick my trash in ceramics.  I still remember how one of my pots could be used as a dumbbell.  Well I think that you will do wonderful in ceramics. Well don't worry about it being short.  A lot of my emails are the same way.  Well Rachel it sounds like the house really had a make over this last week.  Did you take a picture of the old mini van after it was hit?  That would be really cool to see.  Well I have to admit I am so proud of your scores on your math test.  You are becoming so intelligent.  You really are growing up into a little intelligent woman.  Just keep up the good work and remember that I was really bad at getting 4.0s.  But i was really good at getting 3.9s.  Well girls it will make it nicer if you either of you ever have to back up the new mini van.  You shouldn't hit any little innocent dogs on the street sides.  :)  Well Girls I love you so much and just remember that we have a light to show to the world.  And light is the light of Jesus Christ.  Always remember who your saviour is.  His light shines in both of you little girls and always remember to have this light in you.  Jesus Christ truly is the light and life of the world.  Never forget that.  Well girls have a wonderful week and know that it is getting warmer here. So I won't freeze gesen ug.  Well I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Rebecca, 
  You said it right.  Today was a lot warmer.  I could actually have my head out of my hat.  Well it sounds like your semester is going to be a blast.  And you and your dates.  you are really becoming a dater.  Are you the same anymore?  :)  Well I haven't warm my boots at all this last winter just because they were so annoying but let me just say that I can't wait to use them back in America.  Well I am sure you looked great bowling.  How often did you get strikes on the other person's lane?  ;)  Well this week I have really been contemplating just how Jesus is the light of the world.  He truly is our light and it is only through him and our faith in him that we can return to live with Heavenly Father.  Well always remember that you have his light in you.  Always remember that you are a disciple of Jesus Christ.  You are his follower.  You are a wonderful sister.  I am thankful everyday that I was able to grow up with you.  You might not of realized it but your patience with me and going outside and throwing a football around really was appreciated.  You are soooo good.  Keep up being showing the light of Christ to the world through your wonderful example.  well I love you sooo much and good luck with your new semester.  Love Elder Williams


Dear Kristalyn,
    You are such a good example for me.  I am so thankful for you and your patience with me when I was with you.  I hope that when I come back that we can just laugh as we used to.  I am also thankful for your wonderful example to others and it is possibly your hard working personality that has given me an opportunity to work at Byu.  Well that whole working out thing sounds good.  Well the workouts in the morning with my companion are definitely doing the same thing for me.  Well I am \ a lot skinnier than I used to be.  It fact most people don't believe just how much weight I have lost.  i am under 200 pounds.  I was over 200 in middles school.  yeah that skinny.  Well so about the whole money thing don't worry about it right now but with in the next month or two I am going to start collecting so more stuff.  I can get you some really good little stuff but in order for you to get the really cool stuff you might have to give me a little for yourself.  Well you kind of tell me what you might want and I will see if I can get it for you.  Well I love you and good luck with everything.  Love Elder Williams

 Dear Mom and Dad,

So Mom........ Happy Birthday to you!!!!! Happy Birthday to
you!!!!! Happy Birthday dear Mommy!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to
You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. So if I heard correctly you are now 51?!!!
Wow!!!!! SO anyway I really hope you had a wonderful birthday. I
love you and appreciate you soooo much. So first about my week. SO I
started out the week with a new companion. His name is Elder
Gantogtoh and he is a wonderful young man and he will be a wonderful
full time missionary. But another Elder in my district named Elder
Neuberger joined us as a threesome for several weeks because his short
term missionary had a health problem and he had to go home. So for
the last week we have been working in two areas teaching two englishs
and going to choir practice for out short term missionary. This week
has been hectic. and on top of that I am moving away from unur this
Friday. i am moving to the Hailaast branch and will be the new
district leader there. My new companion will be Elder Robbins from
Las Angeles. Also it is official that there will be more americans
sent to Mongolia if they can get visas. Well also this week I slipped
and fell :( But I came in second place out of the competition. It
was funny. So that day we went up to an area in my area called zuun
salaa. Well we went up there and our feet were so cold that it
literally almost hurt to walk. but after a few minutes of fast
walking they kind of warmed up. So as our feet were freezing my
companion Elder Neuberger started jumping up and around to warm up his
feet. But as he did so he slipped on the solid ice street and fell
and that was when I came in second place. Unfortunately that same
night I slipped and fell while literally just standing. AS I said
before the roads are literally just solid ice. When I was back in
Chingeltei we actually saw a man ski down a whole mountain. .....but
he only had shoes on. So I finally have fallen. That is so cool to
know that you are all still doing the wss, and I hope that you are all
spreading the christmas joy. That is neat to know that you are with
talking with Carmen mom. It will really help her when she finally is
brought the chance to listen to the gospel. Well I actually managed
to read Cameron's letter about the puppy before this I actually read
Cameron's letter and it is good to know that we are in in reality the
same people. :)) So I can't believe that he is almost done. That is
crazy fast. Well my release date is going to be the last week of July
probably the 31st. I figure it is okay to say it now because all of
the other elders are. So anyways it will be just about 2 years. So I
am glad that BYU beat Utah. I can go now and rub that in to the faces
of a few elders. Just kidding I would never do that. :) Don't worry
about the shirts. It will be fine if they are thinner. To be honest
the thicker materialed shirts are harder to clean. Well the weather
is sooo cold here that when you open a door to a warm house the entire
thing acts like you do when you breath. You just see all this mist
and steam from the warm air touching the cold air. It is pretty cool.
Also you know it is cold when you step into a nice inside warm gym
and realize that you can still see your breath. So I played some
basketball and actually did pretty good. Well everything else is just
normal this week. Except we really haven't taught that many lessons
this week due to just the hectic schedule. Well I don't know if you
sent me a package as of yet or not but it sounds like I got one just
now. That is what one of the elders just told me. Well thanks for
everything and I love you all so much. By the way, Mom could you send
me the recipe to your homemade hot chocolate. I found some cocoa and
am really wanting to use it. Well I love you both and good luck.
Love Elder Williams

 

 So Dear Fantastic Sisters,
This week has been really interesting and if you want to learn
about it read the other email. So to be honest it is cold. :) But I
got a good coat and am doing fantatstic. (But I do look really fat
with my coat but the problem is that first it is cool to look fat in
Mongolia and second my now skinny neck look really funny wearing the
coat sometimes) But other than that it is a great coat. (I feel like
a sumo in the coat and without it I feel like Bigbird) Well also I
now have two companions which you can learn about it my other email.
Well I am just doing work over here in the land of the blue sky.
Soooooo, Rebecca, the book that I referred to is actually available
at the LasHermanasElephants publishing website. (Good luck on finding
it) that is www.lashermanaselephants.

doesn'texistandwillneverexistever.com.
Great Website!!!! So by the way since you didn't argue to that fact
that you didn't have a boyfriend I will assume that you do and I think
that you should tell me his name. Well I could really use some hot
chocolate right now. You should send me some already made hot
chocolate through the mail. it would be fantastic. So anyways good
luck up there at Byu and good luck with all of your tests. Just know
that I will be giving a test to students in a few days. I hope they
all fail!! (and no... I didn't forget sarcasm.) Well, Rachel, I
can't wait to see you over skype. It will be so fun and I really want
to see how much you have grown. Good job with pudge. You are doing a
good job over there. Well speaking of dogs I have many stories with
dogs and one of the best ones is I walked out of a ger and the dog was
sitting right outside the ger on the doorstep. Well if you don't know
about things in Mongolia dogs here are......well not nice. So as this
really big dog was about to bite me I made a choice. So remember how
I would use to play with shylo and put my foot in his mouth and then
he would wrestle? Well yeah I did just that. I put my foot in this
big dog's mouth. And he really wanted to bite me. But thanks to my
practice with shylo I saved myself from a rabies shot. So a dog story
for you. Also keep up the baby sitting. So I am so ready for the
awkwardness of single's ward. Awkwardness here I come!!!!! WEll
Rachel thanks for praying for me and keep up the good work. By the
way minii mend Bethany-d hurgeerei. (Say hello to her for me. Well
Caelen, how much have you really grown? I am scared that people are
mistaking you for someone in a singles ward. You are not allowed to
look old so I have a solution. .......(Drum roll please)........stop.
:) Well I can't wait to see how much you have grown over skype too.
So I hope that you don't have a boring week this next week. And I
can't wait to see the tie. Also send me a picture of all the really
cool decorations at the house. So all of you little girls need to
promise me something. Stop growing up!!!!! :) Well anyways good
luck this next week and I love all of you. Love Elder Williams

 

Dear Kristalyn,
    So you can read about my week in my other email.  So this week has
been pretty good and we have had a lot of fun.  So anyway it sounds
like you are having a blast.  I wish you all the best of luck on your
finals, but don't burn yourself out studying.  I like the phrase don't
burn your candle on both ends.  Or something like that.  SO good luck
and here is another great phrase for ya'  don't count your chickens
before they hatch.  Ever since I have been teaching english I realized
just how amazing the english language is.  I also have learned a lot
of phrases.  So it finally snowed.  That is weird to think about
considering the fact that it snowed here forever ago.  It is also
really cold.  So I finally slipped and fell this week but I took
second place among the elders.  I actually slipped just kind of
standing and when I really think about it I have no idea how I fell.
So that was really funny.  Did you know that here there is literally
roads of solid ice?  They are really hard to walk on at night without
a flashlight.  :)  So that is cool about your whole car thing.  I bet
you will sell it pretty quick.  If you want to sell it really fast
just say that it is actually a transformer and then people will buy it
really quickly. :)   So I know but yeah my jokes are lame today.  So I
read a really cool article about how a family during christmas time
all memorized the living christ.  She said that literally that those
several months that they spent memorizing it was some of the best
months of her life because they literally rejoiced in Christ all the
time.  I have decided I really want to do the same thing.  So just a
cool idea.  So to answer your questions, every once and a while I miss
home but recently it hasn't been so bad.  It was actually the worst of
thanksgiving but right now it is pretty good.  So I always remember
you guys but to be honest since all of you have changed so much i
really don't know any of the cute little habits you have anymore. I
really hope that we can all together be up and byu for a while.  But
if that doesn't work out than we can still do a lot of other things.
So the day I was getting released changed.  So it will be the end of
July.  Probably July 31st.  SO it will be about two years.  Orginally
we were going to go the 14th of July but with the whole lowering of
the missionary ages it messed some things up.  So that will be whats
up.  So always remember the saviour.  Some people think that in
Mongolia it is easier to focus on the real meaning of christmas
because there is no commercial christmas but it is exactly the
opposite.  It is all commercial christmas.  Santa and the christmas
tree and all of the christmas music that doesn't include the story of
actual christmas.  It makes me realize just how special it is to focus
on christ during christmas.  So you are doing a wonderful job
remembering what christmas is really about. So to be honest I really
want some pudding for Christmas.  So if you could send some pudding I
would love you more than ever.  :)  JK but you can tell mom though.
Well I am doing fine and I wish you the best luck out there.  30 weeks
left for me.  That is about how much left.  Time flies and I am so sad
that I am leaving that soon.  I just feel like I haven't been as
productive as I wanted to be but every missionary feels that way.  So
I love you and can't wait to see you over skype.  PS give me your
skype address.  Well I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams
