Dang. Bunch of bawling this week huh?
I got transferred to Ontario. Not Canada. I'm in the Tongan ward down here. We cover all of Ontario, Chino, Montclair, Chino Hills, Pomona, and some other little towns. I'm still with Christensen. Pres just picked us up and moved us.  I'm really glad to still be in a tongan ward. But I'm still used to the one in the desert. It still feels weird. Yesterday the ward didn't really seem that welcoming.  There wern't any missionaries here for awhile before we got here. It kinda stinks where we live. We have this tiny apartment and one shower and we have roommates. The Mexicans around us party till 3 in the morning, Dogs wont shut up, the gunshots and fireworks are sometimes hard to tell apart, and to top it all off, we live about 2 miles from the airport. Planes fly right over our house. Trunky!
I'm glad you helped the poor girls out. You're good at that.
Tell trev to take it easy.
We dont have any work. We're starting from scratch.
I love you. Always and forever. -Elder Williams
So... We're both getting transferred. Yeah. it blows.  We have tons of work right now. Like baptisms waiting to happen kind of work.  I have no idea where I'm going. I hope I'm still in a tongan ward. Otherwise I might just go through the motions for the last few months. I hate to leave this ward. This is my family. In every area you always have a ward mom. Someone who just takes care of you. Here, this whole ward is my family. Everyone is my brother and sister and mom and dad. (Don't worry, you're not replaced) We get taken care of. It makes the work easier and also makes it easier to serve a mission. Just because its hard doesn't mean the members have to make it harder you know?
            I got letters back from Edie and The bowens on the same day. It was pretty cool. They were both encouraging. I started crying. I love how they're staying postive through all the crap they've got going on. I love them lots and can't wait to see them.
I'm going to write amber some encouraging stuff. Thanks for the Address.
I wish I could tell you awesome things about the work, but this week has been slow and well, I'm leaving.
Wish Trevor luck, tell sarah not to get sunburned,("They have this really neat stuff called sunscreen"-Mom), Tell Dad not to wreck the house with his partying, and Tell you that I love you all and I'm ready to see you. This time here in SoCal is swiftly coming to a close. I'll try not to get trunked out. -Elder Williams

So.... We had a pretty good week I guess.  We taught a lot and had a really good lesson on Saturday.
I Was super tired during church yesterday. I just about fell asleep a few times.
We were suppossed to teach a lot yesterday. But all the people we wanted to, didn't show up.
Newsome has been texting me from time to time. My pants that ripped are my suit pants so I might send them to you.
I love you. -Elder Williams

Howdy back. Bar-dog's home. Wow. It kinda seems like he left after me. Weird. Tell him hi and I love him.
Tell Amber good luck. And not to have too much fun in Italy. Can I have her MTC address? Dearelder/sister!
I don't think I need anything. Expect my pants are ripping again. those same ones. Pathetic. But, using the amazing source of power we mere mortals call duct tape, I have discovered a temporary solution! mwahaha.

This has been one of those weeks. My comp has been on and off sick, food poisoning and frequent headaches "because it's summer". Plus we couldn't get a hold of anyone we wanted to see. Bummer. But! Church! We had 2 nonmembers tell us they wanted to learn! huzzah! So... It'll be good.
Newsome called me saturday to tell me he's going home. He was supposed to go home in 2 weeks anyway. But his Grandma passed away and pres let him go home. So I got to see him before he left. I miss that kid already.
Soo.... I love you? A lot? A boatload? And kudos to my family for the whole 5k thing! Fat be gone!

Hi.
So.. We had a Baptism on Saturday. It was awesome. There were so many people there, we had to stand in the hall. Everything went smooth, Bishop baptized him, and Confirmed him on sunday. Chirstensen was sick yesterday so we didn't get to see it.
   Man, Car crashes. Tell Grandpa I love him. and...... yeah
Never heard about the eclipse. Nobody tells us anything.
I'm working on those letters. Probably have them done today. maybe.
Now that we baptized all our gators, We have a lot more time for the ward, we'll be helping out with lessactives a lot.
Bishops daughter passed away right after the baptism and tongan funerals last a week, so we'll be pretty busy helping out with that.
I love you. I enjoyed talking to you on mother's day. Really. I did.
