This e-mail cracked a lot of people up! It's kind of short :(... but still so nice to hear from him!
Hello Everyone!
I don´t have much to say about this last week.
It was pretty average. But I did start running a mile every day (16 laps
around the mini-track we have here), and I bike for about 10
kilometers, which I think is just under 5 miles I think,
on the workout bike thingymabobers. With only three weeks left until I
leave for the mission field I thought I should start getting my legs
more prepared. I leave on the 14th of February, by the way. Tomorrow, we
will have a general authority speaking to us,
here in the MTC, Elder Anderson, which should be really cool. Last
week, I was going to send a picture home through Mr. Cheney´s of me in
front of the temple, but one of the MTC workers asked to see my camera,
noticed the pictures, and said that I should not
have pictures of the temple, or I should at least not show anyone, so I
will just hold on to them until I get out to the field and then I will
send them. I can´t send pictures through costco because I can´t go to
any website other than
lds.org, mormon.org
or the ldsmail site. But I sent a picture of me with the MTC president
and his wife last week, which looked weird, but I couldn´t tell it
looked weird on the camera so I didn´t
know until after I printed it out, and some pictures of flowers for em
to paint, but if you didn´t get them I will try again next week.
I guess I will start trying some beans, one of
the elders in my district said they have a good amount of protein in
them and I should start eating them. I did not receive a package with
beef jerkey in it, sorry :( I can´t really think
of anything I need from home. I am well supplied here so things are
good. I am glad to hear church ball is going good this year. Hopefully
you guys get further than we did last year/two years ago, I can´t
remember, when Landon couldn´t play because of an injury.
And that's awesome that Dad got called to stake athletics, let me know
what he does now when he figures it out.
The microfiber towel works good, not having any
problems with it, but I need to remember to send it through the wash
because it doesn´t smell too good right now. I might ask for another one
when I get to the field. Shirts are coming
out of the drier just fine, and I ran out of time so I gotta go. I´m
being kicked out :(. I was slow today I will answer more questions next
week. BYE!
Love Elder Williams
Oh, the weekly letters! We take whatever we can get and oh how sweet they are! He sounds great! How long does it take a letter to get to him? Nancy
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy,
DeleteI think it takes about ten days to two weeks to get letters there.
Sounds like he is doing well and having fun on the thingymabobbers. I entered the mission field on Feb 14th as well---22 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool, Lisa! Where did you go?
DeleteIt sounds like he is getting settled in and ready to get out there and start meeting new people.
ReplyDeleteEven "short and sweet" letters are GREAT. We all love hearing how he is doing.
Talk to you soon.
Love,
Lisa
