Well its been a great week we are working hard doing the best we can. I am pretty sure I will stay at least one more transfer here. I am hoping so me, my companion and I are working great together so we shall see. We had exchanges with the assignments yestersday and they asked us what should go on with transfers and we told them of course we wanted to stay together so we will see. I am sure im staying in Irvinington. Sakinah is still coming to church she came last week she is just not 100 percent ready yet but I am sure that it will be soon cause she is really prepared so it will all work out. Well about the Jones's coming out that would be great that would be really cool for sure, well anyone from AZ would be great of course. Things are going great. Thanks for the pictures of my car they were great for sure. I just wasn't sure I hadn't seen any pictures of it my whole mission thats why I was curios how it was doing? Well lets see Logan goes home in 8 days thats pretty crazy for sure. I bet he is pretty excited. I have 8 months left so I will be home really soon as well so its kinda crazy how the time flys by but i am really enjoying it for sure. Really not much new going on here. No I haven't heard anything from Morgan tell him to write me. I want to hear from him that would be really sweet tell him to email me please. Well about some photos I am trying to decide if i should let you guys see them I want to get home so you guys won't know who I am that would be pretty cool. The other day we went to a stake priesthood meeting and the Scotch Plains members were there, and everyone that saw me said I was looking great this one member ignored me, then one of the youth saw me and I was like what the heck Anthony? Then he was like holy cow Wells, I didn't even reconize you then he gave me a big hug it was pretty cool for sure. Things are good so far but like you said this Monday I will be emailing you cause that will be our p-day from now on which will be a little weird but I am sure it will be okay. Thanks for the pictures of Tristan and my car. I love you guys I hope you have a great week ,try to stay cool! I hope to hear from you on next Monday.

The best week of my mission!
Hi
Well, how are you doing? Things here have been amazing, probably one of the best weeks of my mission! Last week was great also, everything is starting to work out. I have a couple of stories for you, the Lord has helped us so much lately. Well we have been teaching Deborah and Rosa they are progressing. Deborah's step father's name is Judge, he ran out the door the first time we came over and the next time he went and hid in his room. We went over there last Sunday, he let us in and we were talking to him for a minute and we were talking about us and being sick and he said that he would never have a sick day for fishing so we started talking about fishing and hunting we talked for about 30 to 40 min straight and it was all about hunting and stuff. We were like best friends when we left. It was great, remember before he would not even talk to us. We even had a prayer with him before we left! The spirit was so strong. We are going back on Thursday and I told Judge we are coming back and we have to talk some more, he was like alright sounds good. Could you send me some picture of the all heads? That would be great I told him I would show him some pictures. Could you send me some of Dad's Africa animals too? That is Judge's dream to go to Africa. I know that he would really love to see them. The next thing is we try and get members to come with us to appointments. Last week was the only time my whole mission that we ever had 5 member present which was great. This week we have potential for 11 member presents we had a member call us yesterday and say hey my girlfriend is here and she wants you guys to come over and teach her. Her name is Jenn so we went over and taught her and she really liked it. We are going back tonight at 7 to teach her more. After tonight we will have 5 member presents and its only Wednesday so we are seeing miracles like crazy right now! I know that the Lords hand is in the work 100 percent and we are seeing it everyday! We are also still teaching Jeff, we went back and taught him again and he is doing great and we are going to commit him to be baptised. We go see him on Monday. Everything is going so good, its kinda crazy how everything has picked up so suddenly. Well I guess I will keep the thermals, its been pretty cold. I have managed to keep warm. Friday is supposed to be pretty cold its says it will be a high of 15 and a low of 7 with the wind chill it will be in the negatives. Tomorrow night is supposed to be 3 which is dang cold. It is about 20 right now and windy,so it makes it worse but its all good. Oh, when I was sick it was headache with runny nose and head congestion, but I am fine now. And we are also getting sprayed for bed bugs again tomorrow. I guess they are back. My companion and one the spanish Elders are getting bit, but I am not so its not too bad. We have to wash all of our stuff in hot water again. Sounds likeyou guys are doing good, things here are great! I got Grandma's card I will write her. Please send some the pictures of the stuff I asked for that would be great! I love you and appreciate everything you do for me! Thanks for the love and support.

Last letter of 2008
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.

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
