Salutations Mother,
How ist thou doing? For Behold I Elder Williams having seen much tribulation in the course of my mission, do type this account. And Behold, I type it with mine own fingers. For I know that which I type to be truth. And It came to pass that in the 26th month of the reign of President Godwin over the people of the California San Bernardino Mission, that I, Elder Williams, having reached the 22nd month in my tenure as a name tag adorned teacher of the word, Saw that there began to be much excitement among the people of the Ontario Tongan ward on the subject of missionary work, Yea, among the exceedingly young and among the exceedingly old.
All right. It's kinda tiring to write like that. So... one of our gators moved to Utah. So... Minus 1. Our week was alright. Little here and little there. We've made some progress with one of our gators. She said she wants to be baptized. We'll see how serious she is tomorrow.
Thanks for the letter from chuck. I'll write him today.
So... You should be getting a bike in the mail. It's Newsome's and he's in Provo for BYU. He should be calling you soon.
Tell Ethan I'll be there soon and I miss him. Thanks for the package.
I love you. A Boatload. A large boat. Like maybe a Yacht or a Cruise ship. -Elder Williams

Hey. This week was pretty good. We spoke in Sacrament and tried to get the ward excited about missionary work.
We started teaching someone last monday. She's married to a member and they just moved from Utah. She says that she's been through the missionary thing a few times. We're hoping that we can bring something more to the table. We meet with her again tonight. Last week we challenged the young men to hand out Boms. One of them did and gave it to a preacher's daughter from another church. She seems really interested so we gave the guy our number to give to her. Hopefully she's interested.
Is Trevor playing football?
I got my package after I talked to you about it. Sometimes the mail guy throws stuff up on our balcony.
I hit my 22 month mark today.
The work is slowly picking up. Which is good because it gets my mind off the trunkyness.
I love you. Period. yup. -Elder Williams

From Aug 6th-
Soo...... Yeah.
This week has been pretty slow because It's week one of the transfer and I had to show Tuilagi around and stuff.
It's pretty funny because when members see him they think he's tongan so they try to speak to him and he has no idea what they're saying. Then I start speaking tongan and they freak out.
I don't think starburst will melt.. Depends on how hot it gets i guess.
This week we're attacking the work with a new look. We're starting to ask tongan members in the White wards for referrals. So We've been calling other missionaries in the zone to find out who their tongan members are. We hope something will happen from it.
Kyle wrote me. He's meeting all kinds of cool people from everywhere because of the olympics.
I love you. Thanks for missing me. Don't do it too much. -Elder Williams

Hey,
Hi to everybody.
We had an alright week. It's super hot. It's been 106 and 104 most of the week. Which has been alright because that's when we catch our members at home. They all do construction so when it's super hot they quit early. We got into a lot more houses this week than last week.
Had a pretty cool thing happen. One of our members took us to denny's and on our way out a couple stopped us and asked if we were the mormons, We smiled, said yes and the guy started to ask us some tough questions. He's a marine and he had to do some pretty nasty stuff. He was wondering if God is going to judge him a murderer. We had a nice discussion, and by the end of it, He's crying and his wife asked us for a card. It's things like that that remind you what you're doing out here.
I finally felt an earthquake! I was reading in my bed about 1030, and it felt like somebody grabbed the apartment and shook it for a second. Tuilagi freaked out and was like, "Dude, We need to go outside!" By then, it was over and we just went to bed.
I got the shirt package on Thursday and the letter on Friday. I would say that's a lot faster than the other way. The Whiteness of the shirt is freaking me out. It pretty much glows in my closet.
So... In letters I keep getting assurances that nobody touches my room... But I feel like you're just trying to cover something up..... a rodent perhaps?
That's it for today, Tune in next week for another exciting installment in The Elder Williams files. Love you. -Elder Williams
