5-27-2013 - The Oklahoma hurricane became a big rain storm by the time it hit Dallas, Texas

This is where Elder Williams and Elder Johnson live right now. 

Nothing like what big brother Jordan lived in on his mission to Brazil. USA is amazing!

Hey everyone, sorry this email is a day late, the library was closed due to the holiday, I hope I didn't keep you up too late worrying last night mom!

I got your little email and the one from Ash and Cole as well, it sounds like y'all are still doing just fine! How did Chase do in the tournament? He probably played like a stud, he is a Williams. Well let me tell you, this week was a little slower missionary work wise because we had a few medical emergencies, none of them were for me though so stay calm. First of all, last Monday Elder Johnson was cutting some cheese to add to his bean dip and set the knife down on the counter too close to the edge so when he went to pick it back up he tipped it off the counter and tried catching it and cut off three of his fingers!!!! There was blood gushing everywhere and we rushed him to the hospital but they couldn't save them!! Just kidding, but he did give himself a good gash and did squirt some blood around the kitchen and got 4 stitches from the Care Now facility (Texas Urgent Care) and I got to watch them stitch up his hand, it was pretty cool! Then the next morning he had another appointment to get his hands x-rayed because they've been hurting him while riding and we found out that one of his hands has a tiny fracture in it but it will just heal over time. So  not his best week. We passed off our golden investigator to the Assistants to the President because she is supposed to be in the Singles Ward and they cover that ward so they basically stole our baptism but that's okay, as long as she gets baptized, that's all that matters. We found a new investigator on Sunday who committed to read and pray about the Book of Mormon so that is exciting! Other than that we just talked to a lot of Texans who are all happy with what they have up to this point!

The weather has been crazy, we got caught in two rainstorms and got drenched from head to toe and I literally dumped water out of my shoes we were so wet. All my stuff now has partial water damage but it all dried out well enough so no worries! Oh another funny Elder Johnson moment: we were leaving a home and all the people in Texas have glass security doors along with their front doors and Elder Johnson opened the front door and proceeded to walk right into their glass security door and was utterly shocked, his face was priceless and he left a nose smudge on their door, it was hilarious. So once again, not his best week.

Other than that we are doing really well out here! I love you all and miss you daily! Keep being wonderful and keep trusting the Lord!

Love

Elder Williams

Hi Elder Williams,

It is 11:40 PM on Monday, May 27, 2013. We just got back in town from Chase's basketball tourney in Las Vegas. The hotel charged $15 a day for internet so we didn't buy it and thus no internet. We did write you a short email on Dad's phone, but I don't know if you received it. I just checked this email address and you didn't send us an email today. We figure you must be super busy teaching and helping others today since it's Labor Day.  I wrote you a nice letter and will send it this week. Also another package is coming this week. I love you and yes, am a little bit worried that we didn't hear from you today.

Love, Mom
