Hey Mom and Fam! 8-1-12
So this week was great!
Unfortunately that guy Doriedson didn't get baptized this last week
either. But we haven’t lost our faith at
all, if anything I can feel that it's growing every day. This last week we've been having a ton of
help more with our zone than with our area.
We've been noticing that the moral has been falling a little bit so
we've been praying a lot to know what to say and what kind of doctrines we
should have, and it's been really helping, and I can feel an excitement from
everybody. There's just one group that's
problematic, but it's alright.
I'm really trying my
best to baptize. Half of the transfer's
almost over, but I still believe that the Lord will bless us with 10 baptisms
for this transfer. There's this
missionary that’s in the worst area of the whole mission. It's just unbelievably difficult there. It used to be a part of my old zone, and so
I've been there once already for a division.
It's way tough. Anyways, he's
there and he's just baptizing a ton.
It's unbelievable how much success he's having. And i think that this is going to really help
the mission a lot. He's proving that
hard areas don't exist. That it's just
the missionary and how he works.
My companion Elder Duffy has been sick these past couple of
weeks and Monday we needed to stay at home so that he could get better. But now he's feeling better, and we're ready
to work our hardest. Pray for us both so
that we can baptize and be an example for our zone.
As far as schooling goes, I was kind of talking with dad
about my plans. I would like to go and
do a semester for just the summer term, and then just be on the fall/winter
program. I want to go on the boat trip
for sure! Kinsley's looking legit! I’m glad it all worked out well. Tell Marc and Brit congrats. Dad's done worse as far as biking goes
right (100 miler this weekend)? I think he might make it... Anyway, I hope everything is going good over
there. I love you!

P.S. The president lets us do our school stuff the last 6
months of our mission. If I were
to go to the spring term the boat trip would need to be before the 24th of
April
Hey Dad! 8-3-12
Thanks for
the email. I think you're in Africa now,
but it's cool. I think it's funny that that guy dropped his medal. As far as schooling goes, I’m for sure going
to want to go back to BYU Provo. I’m not
too sure about which semester though.
I'd prefer the fall/winter semester, and I think it'd probably be a good
idea to go and do a quick semester in summer so that my GPA can go back up...
sorry about the lack of pre-school effort with school. I wasn't the smartest of people. I’m definitely going to want to work, but I’m
not sure if I’m going to want to work a little bit in Oregon until school, and
then get a job in Utah, or not work in Oregon and just start working with
schooling in Utah or what. I guess it
depends on if I go to summer semester or not.
What do you recommend? These past
weeks have been some of my most enjoyable and productive times on my
mission. I’m not baptizing anyone yet,
but I have faith that God will bless us with success. But I do feel that I have been growing
spiritually and in responsibility. I
think the difference was the rise in responsibility that happened, because
before when I was a zl, I was being trained to be a ZL, but now I’m doing the
training, and I’m helping the whole zone with their excitement level, and
unity. It's something that I feel is
really helping me grow and learn how to be a leader not just in the church but
in any kind of job that I’m going to want.
Anyways, I hope that everything’s going good over there. Love you man!
Elder Williams
PS. Kinsley looks cute, congrats to Marc and Brit!
