I'm sorry to hear about how things went with Brandt. I hope he is doing okay.
A rule changed in the mission, so I can email anyone back home. We were also given 30 more minutes to email.
This is my mission president. You can't see me, but I'm on one of the pictures, ha ha.
I've been humbled a lot this week. God has been showing me that I can't do everything by my self. I continue to learn about how grace is an enabling power, that allows me to do things beyond myself. I'm learning about how limited I truly am.
Hopefully our people are baptized soon. Prayers in their behalf are always wonderful.
Love,
Elder Williams
Hi Talon,
It was neat to get your pictures the other day. You look like you are seeing a beautiful part of the country. I look forward to taking a trip there one day to see it all. You look happy and like you are enjoying your time with the other Elders. I hope you keep in touch with all of the friends your are making there. I regret not trying to do so with the people I knew on my mission.
Not a lot going on here. It snowed bunch on Friday and Saturday but it's melting off quickly. Spring is just around the corner and I am looking forward to it. I got the final bid for the garage I've been waiting for and have decided which contractor to go with. Hopefully construction can start some time in the next few weeks. I am going to do the shingles, siding, electrical, and insulation myself which will save several thousand dollars. When it warms some more I will have the driveway poured and put in a high quality basketball standard for Mr. B.
We experienced the agony and ectasy with all stars this weekend. We played in a tournament with 6th grade teams. They were huge compared to my boys. We lost all 3 games Friday by a large margin. We beat Millard Saturday morning. The kids were awesome that game and Brandt played great with 27 points, he dominated I was so proud of the whole team. We then played a team that beat us Friday night and they flat out killed us in front of half the population of South Sevier. I think my little team was exhausted mentally and physically by this time and it showed. You saw in the picture what happened to Brandt and that pretty much symbolized what happened.
Aubree had her prom dress fashion show on Tuesday. She looked very pretty. She likes her dress and for once likes to be a girly girl. It's fun to see that side of her come out a little bit. She's also involved in drama and will be competing soon. She really loves to be on stage. Raina has decided to run track this spring and started practice this past week. I am glad she's doing it. She might have a lot of fun and it will help prepare her for cross county. Greg Abbott and her cross country coach are coaching the team this year.
We always look forward to hearing from you on Mondays. Your emails are inspiring and we are so proud of the young man you are. Keep working hard, pray often, and have fun.
Love Dad
