Here are some pictures we sent to Carson this week...

We opened up our Christmas pajamas early so that we could send some pics to Carson!  But now...onto Mondays adventure!!!

     So we're going to change things up a bit and show you the letters Carson wrote to Ashlee,  Ken and Grandma first...then...for the grand finish...we'll end with what Carson wrote to his mother. (Who spent all day Sunday prepping and taking photos for her son's enjoyment, then sending them and then writing a very interesting and insightful letter to her favorite son!  Then got up at 3:30 am just to specifically hear from him only to have him write at 8:45 am!)

So this is Ashlee's letter to Carson this week...
mom's excited to to get your phone call!!!!!!!!!!!
hey carson i guess i sould not say only mom's excited because i'm really excited to hear from u too........ 1 problem with that i dont know if i can wake up at 3:00 in the morning to talk to you !!!!!! hope so??!!!!  so the last day of school was on Friday and that was fun .... had a sleep over with madison zobell and got go get kaylee and taylor's christmas preasent .... ya its been a crazy busy week ..... taylor got set apart to be the presadent in young women's today .. that was cool we also set up the christmas tree and i put up your decaration's up and i saw the small deer compared to the big kaylee's deer... it made me laugh    :) we love you lots though


well i miss you lots thanks for all you do !!!!!!!!! love you lots and hope to hear from you soon ashlee


And this is Carson's reply...
Ya but you really want to hear my voice so you'll sacrifice right... :) don't worry i'll just phone you guys really late for me on wednesday (Jumatano) and it will only be somewhat early for you guys. Hey that sounds good except for the whole deer thing that still makes me kind of ticked. but oh well.
Hey love you and miss you guys alot toooooooo. 
Talk to you on Ishirine na tano.

And then this is the letter Carson wrote to Ken...
Hey that sounds good. that is very good that you had the funeral for her, actually trent emailed me and said she had passed away. so ya, but ya sounds like you guys are recovering from the cold. I would send you a picture about what is happening here but i think you would be really really jealous!! :) so it looks like christmas is going good for you guys i saw the pictures. they were pretty fun, but i think i liked ashlee's poster the best. Who's Carson??? It's like she doesn't miss me at all. oh well. So hope christmas is good for you. Actually this week has been lots of fun we went to this beach and took a bunch of photos but i forgot my camera so hopeful i can get some pictures from some of the other elders. But other than that it was alot of fun. Also we had a district christmas party where all the branches came together and it was just a huge party. It was alot of fun and alot of good food. Just the nor, Rice beans Chapatii. some Deep fried Bananas it was good. Also we had a football game (soccer) Missionaries vs YSA young single adults it was alot of fun but we lost. So hope you guys are doing good and hopeful work is going good for you too. Looking forward to phone you in Kesho kutwa in (day after tomorrow) 
sawa talk to you very soon 
Love you
Carson 


This is the letter that Grandma Walburger sent to Carson...
Helloooo Elder Williams, Your family is soooo excited to be able to talk to you... They can hardly wait. Guess that means that all that complaining about your teasing was just a "front" ; they really did enjoy the attention... Yah Right! We sure love you . Hope you are feeling better now. Are you really going to play the tunes at Church ? Way to go!  I tried an experiment on you ... I sent a little package last Monday mailed from the States  and then on Tuesday I sent another little treat via the Canadian postal system... So which package do you think will arrive first? Surprise, surprise... The package mailed in the USA was $ 0.80 more?
For your birthday or maybe sooner... we will try again.. Hope you have an excellent Christmas. It will be interesting to find out what they serve you for Christmas dinner... Do you go to the member's homes to eat? 
We love you tons and wish the best for you. Take good care of yourself (that also includes eating lots of green veggies!) May the Lord continue to bless. Merry Christmas, love G&G

And then Carson wrote her back...awwww.....so nice!
Hey that sounds really good. Hope you guys are doing good. probably thought the American one could get here first it all depends on the office though because they just might keep it there until ZC and send it when they come. oh well. one way or the other i guess it will come. For this year we will be spending most of christmas at the senior couples place and we will eat food there. and then around two we will go and visit some people i guess. but i'm really excited and thanks i probably should start eating better. Chips and eggs aren't probably the best think to eat all the time.


Now here's the letter that I got....his mother...who loves him the most...
Yes the pictures where very nice. and i can't answer or write to you right now because i have ran out of time. Pole sona hopefully i can talk to you on wednesday. thanks again 

?????????
And then my panicked reply....
Bye...love you! What time on Wednesday?????

To which he did answer....
probably late but we are coming back kesho so i will tell you then.

And then my last ditch effort at some sort of update...
whats kesho? And by late, do you mean about this time?  It's just after 9 am here right now.  Perfect time for a phone call...whatever you can do...we will be here!

And then...nothing....

Really?  Wow...I can hardly contain my excitement....wow...

But thankfully, the senior mission sister came through for me and sent me these pictures...since apparently Carson can't remember to take his camera.  (Wasn't he packing that around on his belt in a past post?)

Attached you will find the pictures that we took at Cocoa Beach. See you soon!   Love, Sister Knecht

Well...at least he's alive and looks happy and well.  I'm still really excited for Wednesday!!!!  I must be his mother if I still love him after all this.  He's kind of a great kid...even though he's crazy!!!
