Hey family, 12-1-12
Thanks for the email! This week was very difficult. All of the baptisms in our area and (in our zone) fell through due to one thing or another. We just couldn't get them!
Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you're getting better, mom. Surgery sucks and then afterwards you have nothing to do while you heal! It is so boring waiting to feel better! (And in answer to your question: yes I got an apology from being accused of gossiping when I didn’t last week.)
We're getting to the end of transfers. The next time I write I could very well be in another area. To tell you the truth I’m kind of looking forward to it, I want a new change.
It is pretty weird to hear about all of my friends getting married and having babies! The fact that Cheyenne is having her second child is so…old! I haven’t even met the first baby, but apparently that's what missions do. You go in thinking that it's going to be all the same when you go back. Strange huh? It doesn't even feel like I’ve been gone that long!
Anyway, the Apostles that visited here were great! I learned a lot! One thing that they taught, that I thought was interesting, was that we can see everything in another person’s eyes. We can identify light or darkness and it helps us find out who's ready to hear the gospel. It is also something we can do in everyday life to see if someone's lying to you or if someone's confused with mistruths. It's a cool concept, but it's what the Apostles have mastered. Elder Ballard also called to repentance a lot of the local people in a special stake conference (the night before he spoke to us). Basically he told everyone to repent because there were many people in front of him that were viewing pornography (NOT the missionaries, the congregation). He's got to be SUPER close to the spirit to have seen that!!!
Anyway, it was a cool week but a hard one! This week we are expecting to have two baptisms lined up (Paulo and Geraldo). We're going to go eat at their mom's house for lunch today. (EVERYONE PRAY FOR THEM!) Love you guys!
Elder Williams
