His Spirits Are Up!
Haha We get to use more time, so I will write you another quick message. Its so wonderful to feel the spirit every day. I know that i definately need to work alot harder and learning the lessons and especially in learning the spanish language. I can feel the lords help as i learn spanish. It just seems so much easier here than in school. Probably because its kinda just a review for me. I am really excited to go out and procelyte on saturday again. Last saturday we gave away a book of mormon and some pamphlets to a young man. He seemed really interested and i was so disappointed that i could not speak more spanish to him. I really wanted to just give him the first lesson right there in the street. Hopefully we can do that in two days because now i know the first lesson in spanish. Like i said this place is really small. We are on the temple grounda and kinda in prison. Huge gates with barb wire. There are basketball courts and a volleyball net outside. The kitchen, offices, and computer lab and sacrament room is on the lower level. Living quarters on the second level. And the third level is half living quarters and half district rooms. The teachers we have are great. Everyone loves us here, except some sister missionaires. I swear it seems like they hate americans. lol oh well. I know that i have not been demonstrating the best faith in Christ and i know that. I definatly need to have alot more faith in him. When i am working hard the days go by fast and i enjoy myself, feel the spirit, and dont get so down about missing home. I felt so dumb for breaking down twice. Again, Thanks dad for being there. That helped me more than you know. There is so much to say and so little time, and i cant fit everything i have learned in here. I write in my journal every night. It probably what i look forward to the most at night. The two latins we room with are really awesome and funny! You will all get pictures in about a week! I love you all so much and miss you so incredibly much. Thanks for you the email. Tell the Hamptons i have their project they made me on my shelf and i see it every day. I showed everyone what happens to them if they dont read their scriptures! Thanks Devon. I love you all, I look forward to hearing from you next week. Oh, and mom, Thanks for everything you have done to help me be who i am. I really appreciate it. And for dad expecting a maturity out of me. People see it. Okay i gotta run Love, Elder Williams

Letter Update
Hello family! Its pday here at the ccm (central capacitation for missionaries) thats what they call it here. it seems like its been forever since i have been able to talk to anyone. the keyboard here is in Spanish so its a little hard to type. How is everyone? The food here is good although its sometimes interesting. We went to the temple ground the other day to invite people to church. It worked out well, I know more spanish than i thought. On Saturday they are dropping us off in Buenos Aires to go procelying for a few hours. That should be interesting. I´m always tired. That plane ride messed me up. I hope everything gets better soon and this MTC experience goes by fast. I miss home and you all so much. I think they just emailed you on Monday to say that we got here. i know that it was not fast enough. I don´t know why it took them so long to do it. In the bathroom here they have bidey´s i think thats how you spell it. they clean your bottom. its kinda weird. i have not used them, i stick to the toilet paper! I eat a salad and fruit every meal, i´m eating more healthy than i ever have!The mtc here is on the temple grounds. Its enclosed with gates like twenty feet high. Probably because everything is so nice here. We went out to get flu shots and the city was dirty, trash in the streets and everywhere. Everyone drives so crazy here. Its like there are no cops. Two north Americans from Bolivia are here now because there is something bad going on with the government up there or something. They are staying here until they get their passports. We are going to the temple in an hour so that should be good. I´m excited to hear from you the next time i get a p-day. I love you all so much and i miss you a bunch. PLEASE write me letters, it would be nice to get a hard copy of something to read! I love you all!
