Hey Elder (letter from mom) 7-31-2023

 Howdy Elder Williams, I hope you are doing well. We have missed talking to you recently, but I know you are doing good things out there. I showed you our week in pictures a little bit. Branson got his wisdom teeth out and luckily everything went well for him. He had a pretty easy recovery as far as pain but he is still not able to eat all the good food he wants to or work out yet. But he is still playing pickle ball and watching all the movies. 

Camden took a couple swim lessons from Gus sister and is doing pretty well. He jumped from the top of their grotto and has been swimming decently. I knew he would get it. Makes me happy.
So me and Dad were working on the house on Friday and he started to not feel good and he came down with a fever that afternoon. So he went to bed and rested for the next couple days. His fevers were miserable and he wasn't able to sleep well. which for Dad is rare. He would toss and turn and he was miserable. So finally Sunday (yesterday) after church I took him into urgent care, where we waited for like 3 hours only to get a negative strep test which we thought it was. When the Dr. pushed on dads stomach it hurt and so then that Dr is like well I can't rule out appendicitis cause i can't test for that here. He recommended we go to the ER for testing.  Even though dad didn't go in for stomach pain originally. Anyway then Dad was concerned that it really might be his appendix even though i was pretty certain it was not. So we went in and they gave him an IV and his blood and urine test came back as nothing so they released  us. It was  a long day of waiting yesterday. So basically he has some sort of infection that is making him miserable and is causing stomach pain but we have to wait it out and hope for some relief. So dad is in bed trying to rest again. Really praying he feels better soon cause neither of us is sleeping well and it sucks!
Other than that we are pretty lame. Love you and hopefully we get to talk to you today!

  It's been a while since I wrote an email. A lot has happened! So our friend Asia did get baptized! It was an incredible service. Her leg was still hurting from the bus accident so she stood for the duration of the entire service and when she walked into the font and I baptized her she said there was no pain in her legs which was a miracle. She has been coming to church to an earlier ward because she had a Sunday work schedule but just this week she was able to shift that around so we're looking forward to having her come to her ward and grow in the gospel.  In other news I have been quite busy with some of the craziest things I've seen in my life. I thought this area couldn't get any sketchier but alas it has .... We are teaching a friend named Clarice and we showed up to her house for a lesson and there were six cop cars in the front yard. We waited around for a bit and when they all left we started talking with Clarice and she told us that her husband beat her up be

Poop......There It Is 3-13-2023

  This week was a wild ride that's for sure. On Monday we were shooting hoops and a huge gathering of 14 year old boys showed up with this dude that had a really cool beard and then we proceeded to ball up with them. The teams were interposed between youth and elders. I was on the team with the scrawnier kids but we won. It was fun crossing kids up, breaking their ankles, they were slipping and sliding everywhere. Then the worst thing in the world happened. Our plumbing took a dive, there is a sump pump in our basement that takes the sewage up top where the septic tank is at. Posted in all of the restrooms is a sign that says do not flush more than 18 inches of toilet paper or feminine hygiene products or wet wipes etc. Or else you can clog the sump pump and it'll be a $250 fee to fix and repair. So we have been super diligent about following that rule, apparently some Elders months ago must have used dude wipes because the sump pump got clogged and the whole house started floo

This week we had zone conference, got to see a lot of familiar faces. My companion and I hosted because it was our building. Our mission president and his wife gave us a revelatory experience as they spoke on faith and how to incorporate it into the work. We had pizza (and them we ate pizza for 4 days after that ) I'm literally lactose intolerant, send help.    Howdy folks! How have you found joy in your life this week? For me I found joy in the small moments. I have been serving in Post Falls Idaho for the last 6 months of my life. Time has snuck by me, it's already the month of May, I cannot believe that. I have been serving in 2 wards, White Pines (WP) and Prairie Falls (PF.) The WP Ward is 80% young families all with young kids and I love the family vibe, some of my closest friend relationships come from this ward. The PF Ward is more so older families. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in this area (I say this with my fingers crossed that I get transferred next week) I am
