Hey Mom and Dad!
How is it goin? Well things are great here! We have had a great week we are starting to see some success so thats always good. We got a media referral from this lady who ,wanted a bible so we went and took her one, her name is Deborah she is a nice lady. We set a appointment to come back and visit her, and when we did we taught her half the first and half the second lesson so it went great. She had tears in her eyes, she felt the spirit like crazy! Her daughter was there and she loved learning too. We went back again yesterday with Brother Zollinger and shared the plan of salvation and answered all of her questions. Wow the spirit was super strong and they both loved it. Deborah told us that when she looks at me or when ever I say anything I bring tears to her eyes which is pretty cool! We told her that is the spirit, she liked when we told her about the 3 degrees of heaven she said that is more true than her church so that was also pretty cool ! So it has been a good week. I did get the package on Monday, thanks so much! No I never got the card from Grandma. I don't know what happened to that. Well I hope you guys have a Happy New Year! I am going to send you home a memory card it had about 130 pictures on it and I don't know what happened, but they erased? One of my roomates tried to recover them, they came up but they wouldn't go back on the card, so don't use the card, maybe you can try and recover the pictures? Well tonight were going to the Acompra family tonight, they are having like 5 families over so we are going over there to eat. We have to be in by 6:00 tonight because of New Years eve. I hope you guys have fun eating a nice big steak, I sure miss good old steak, thats for sure! I hope you guys have a have a happy new year! Thanks again for everything you are amazing! I love you guys have a good week.
Love, Elder Wells

The bed bugs are gone!
Hey Mom and Dad
How are you guys doing? Things here are pretty good. Well, I got the package you sent the other day it was great, the fleece jacket was exactly what I needed. Oh, the garments you sent me were just regular garments, I wanted a couple pair of the thermal garments cause its getting cold. Maybe in the next package? It is crazy to think that in 15 days, we get to talk. Time is just flying by way to fast. We went to New York yesterday it was pretty fun we had a good time, we went to the Manhattan Temple it was great to get to go. I haven't been for 6 months so that was really good, I miss that the most. I really enjoyed going before my mission. Oh, I love that new camera the zoom is great the other one didn't zoom very much. Thanks again so much sending me a new one. I am going to be sending home some christmas cards can you send them to people for me. We are going to get them printed today. The Allen's sent me a christmas card with the family picture and 10 bucks to Mcdonalds which was really nice of them. Oh, don't write to my address anymore, write to the mission office they will just forward it to where were living. We are moving next week. I think on Tuesday, we will go to our new place which is really nice it is in Scotch Plains, it has 2 seperate bathrooms and showers and big rooms and everything. We had some profesional place come and spray our place for bed bugs,e we had to move everything out of the place we had to wash every single piece of our clothing, so the mission is paying for all of our stuff to get dry cleaned and wash all of our clothes it was a crazy process that we went through for the bed bugs. I am so glad we dont have them anymore! I had to spend like 60 bucks to do everything but the mission is paying us back which is good. Everything else is going good. Thanks again for everything, you guys are amazing. I did sent Dad a birthday card so hopefully it gets there by Friday, wow he is a big 50, that is so crazy! I hope you have a good week. You are the best parents ever.
Love, ELderWells

What....bed bugs? another thing for us to fret about?
Hey Mom and Dad.
What is up? Well things are good as normal around here. We are working hard, but it is so hard to find people here, we are not having much success tracking, so were trying to do lots of member work which is also pretty hard but we are pushing it alot with members and the members here are really cool. They love us so much its crazy they feed us 24-7 really every body wants to feed us. Thanksgiving was great we ate at 3 different places and also had dessert at somebodys house we got tons of left overs . We still have left overs so its good. We were broke last month so everybody was giving us food. The Haley's are the sweetest people in the world they are an older couple yes, they are members. We were doing service at their house yesterday morning so I asked him to call you and of course he did. They are so good to the missionaries its crazy they bought us grocceris the other day,like 40 or 50 bucks worth then they callled us last night and said hey do you guys want to go bowling in the morning? So we were like sure so we went bowling then they took us to go get subs it was great. The nicest people ever. I am sure they are going to call you guys on Christmas they said they call every year ,for the missionaries in there ward, and have done it like 15 years now, so you will really enjoy them . (side note-Colten lost his camera so Bro Haley called and I sent Colten a new camea, Merry Christmas Colten!) I don't really know what happened to my camera to be honest I had it Thursday morning we had a big thanksgiving turkey bowl game with everybody in our Ward and then every since then I haven' t seen it but I know I knowitwas put in our car but I can't find it anywhere hopefully it shows up that would be great. Ineed to send my memory card home. Yeah, if my camera doesn't show up then I guess I lost the ones that were on the card but what can you do? Lets see whats else I havent told you, but we have bed bugs at our house they are eating Elder Eautough alive he has been bitten like 40 times. So they are coming to spray our house on Friday but also we are looking for a new place to live cause we have a crazy lady that lives below us that is always freaking out on us. We found a new place which is really nice like 2 times the size of house we live in now ,so that would be good we are going to look at it at with Elder and Sister Nielsen they are the finacial consultents for our mission. Hopefully we get that place its way nicer than ours. Mark's baptisam was postponed I have to call Elder Jackman and find out when it will be. I haven't asked President Bahr if I will be able to attend or not. I am sure he will probably let me go. I gave a talk in church last week Elder Marble and I did, I spoke on missionary work it was good, I guess . At least people said it was good, but who knows .Thanks so much for the new camera ,you guys are amazing I should be getting the package today because the Spanish Elders went to the office today and they should be home soon then I will see what I got.It has cooled down a little but Friday it is supposed to be really cold again. I love you guys so much ! Thanks for everything have a good week. Love, Elder ColtenWells

These photos have a awesome story behind them. This is Colten at the SLC airport, getting ready to fly to Newark. The Elder that trained Logan in Puerto Rico, Mom works forDelta airlines. She just happened to be the stewardess that was on the plane. Oh, how I love tender mercies. I was so happy that she sent these photos from her cell phone! Thanks Brenda!
