Finally a letter! 7-9-13

Elder Williams was transferred!  He has been traveling all day and hasn't even had time to wash his clothes this week.  It could be an interesting week for him!

 


Here are some excerpts from his letters:

To Brennin:
Thanks for the testimony.  I'm so glad that you know all those things.  I'm so proud of how you are growing up big guy.  I love you so much and I know that the church is true and that God loves us all.  Miss you.  Hugs.

Info about his new place - 
I got changed to Autlan de Navarro.  It's a little town with a branch not a ward.  But supposedly they baptize a ton here.  I'm super stoked.  My new comp's name is Elder Vega.  He's from Hidalgo, Mexico and is a gym rat.  We will be going to the gym every morning at 5!!!!  I might die.  But I'll lose this fat and gain some good muscle.  I actually can't wait to get in the gym.  The area is HOT!!!!!!  I've only been here for an hour now and I'm dying!!!  More humid that Tepic and hotter too.  I actually saw the ocean on the bus drive here.

Today I have been on a bus or a taxi all day....  I woke up at 6 got on a bus at 8, got to Guadalajara at 12, left Guad at 1, got here to Manzanillo at 5.....  I'm still not even in my own area yet.  I can't believe these changes.  I have almost no clean clothing because I haven't had a Pday today.  I don't know if I'll have a Pday this week.  Hand washing here I come....

For the last 2 weeks everyday has been a rainstorm that has made the streets a river!!!  I have never had to find rocks, wooden planks, shallow water, or jump so many puddles in my lifetime compared to these last 2 weeks.  I'm now out of that area so I'm hoping that I won't have to worry about that anymore.

I'm now in Autlan.  It's in the state of Colima.  It's a pueblito with a little branch.  I'm kinda excited to see how it all works out for me.  My comp has been telling me that the members are great, baptisms are almost a weekly thing, the branch president is bery supportive as are the members in lessons.  I'm excited for a change of scenary.  It's very green here!!!  Palm trees everywhere, bushes, GRASS!!!!!  That was a new sight.  My nose is all healed up.

I'm grateful for your prayers and your updates.  Thanks for the packages and the love.  I miss you and love you so much.

Elder Williams
