Hey whats going on Mom? Well it has been really chilly here. Today is not as bad it a little over 30 but its been like low 20 and teens the last couple days which has been pretty chilly but I have been allright and not too cold. Time is just flying by its February, thats means next month I will be home... WOW, thats just crazy! I think it is really insane, but I am excited to come home. But it hasn't affected me I am still working really hard so thats not to big of a problem. THANKS so much for the package it was great, I am going to make one of the crumb cakes today actually, so thats should be pretty fun I guess. Well I can't wait to relax the rest of the day it will be really nice. Well not to many crazy things happening here so its all good. What else is new for you? I am glad that your doing okay. I think you should be getting a letter from the mission soon talking about me coming home soon, so thats pretty crazy. I hope everything continues to go well for you, I am great here working hard. I love you.
Love, Elder Colten Wells

Hello Mom!
Well it has been a pretty good week, we are still working hard and we are finding new people to teach. We are trying to build our teaching pool here. It is pretty cool cause we are in the same ward as President and Sister Bahr so that kinda weird but cool at the same time. We are really trying our hardest. The weather has been really nice lately it rained all day yesterday but still not that bad. Oh what else? I am trying to work my companion to death he is a little disobdient but I won't let him but he tries so it has been pretty fun i guess you could say. Well, I would love a package that would be great! So anyways thats about all that is going on here, I am just working really hard and I am going to finish strong! I am not dying at all thats for sure, I am just going to keep doing what I am doing now and I will be fine! Well I love you so much, I hope you have a great week! No worries about me, things are good here!
I love you and I will talk to you nextweek.
Love, Elder Colten Wells

Hello...So what is going on? Well things are going good here .I am just working hard in the new area which is great its a really nice established ward. It is alot like the Ledgewood Ward where I just came from which is pretty nice. Things are going pretty well, I have a fairly new companion, this is his second transfer in the mission he has been out 7 weeks and he still has lots to learn but he is doing pretty well he is from Alberta Canada which is cool. This area was pretty dead, the last and the last missionary that was here was pretty dead too. It was eElder Searle, who was my MTC companion, but I am going to build it back up so we have people to teach and so forth. The weather has been pretty cold I would have to say not as bad as last week but still pretty cold it hasn't really been over 30 in the last 2weeks. I have started running again in the mornings it was about 15 when I went running this morning but its all good for sure. I am in the same zone as before I am just not the Zone Leader which is great, so my old companion Elder Shields is now my ZL which is pretty cool I guess. Well thats about all going on here just likeI said just working hard trying to find new people to teach so its been fun! My companion told me we did more work last week than him and his old companion did the whole 6 weeks before. So I guess I am working him hard. We have to show the new missionaries good work ethics. I love you tons! Thanks for the card and cash, I bought a pizza. Love, Elder Colten Wells

Hello, well things are going okay here. As usual just working hard we have transfers coming up Jan 6th which is pretty soon I will probably be out of this area so I can go to my last area for 2 transfers before I am home which is totally crazy to think about. I am trying to work really hard I am not going to die or get trunky I am going to work my butt off! It hasn't hit me at all that I will be going home, so I am still doing just fine. We got a couple presents from the members here were waiting to open them till christmas morning which should be fun. Sorry I didn't do much for you guys we have been so busy latley we are just working our butts off like crazy we havent had time for anything else. You should have a card any day now. Well lets see a week and a half a go was Dads birthday but I don't have there address so I couldn't send him a birthday card I had a member from a couple wards ago call him he didn't answer but I guess he told him Happy Birthday for me I hope that he got it. Thanks so much for the subway card we already used it, I also got a card from Grandma and Grandpa so that was really nice of them. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and I will talk to you on Friday if I make 2 seperate calls I can talk a hour on each phone call so that would be the better thing to do more time of course! Not to much more to say I will see ya soon but talk to you in 4 days thats going to be great! I love you tons have a great week, thanks so much for everything your the greatest ever.

Hello,what is going on Mom? Sounds like things are going pretty well for you. Lets see things are pretty good here nice and cold thats for sure but its all good. I am getting used to it again. Yes,we were able to watch the christmas devotional we watched it at the church last night it was great! President Monson is so good at telling stories it was really good I enjoyed it. I am not sure if the gps came in, one of our zone members picked up the mail for us because we had a appointment this morning so I will find out tommorrow if not I will get it next week. Thanks so much for that! A member gave us a little fake tree yesterday for our house which is pretty cool first christmas tree in almost 2 years I didn't have one last year so its kinds nice to get one this year. We have been really working hard we are really trying to get new investigators but its been really difficult but we are doing are very best thats all we can do. Wow, I miss Charleston's restrauant so much that amazing soup and sandwhich is so good! Sounds like Aardbark has been busy, and you are working hard. How is the business going? Has work slowed down much or is it about the same? Thanks so much for sending the new bank card, that would stink to be without it if i needed it. Oh thanks for the stamps also. Well things are going ok here like I said just trying to work as hard as possible. Well I am not to sure if I am doing the christmas cards again just cause its takes some time and it seems like I hardly have time anymore just always too busy. I will try can't promise but I will try to get at least one for you! Well I am trying really hard to finish the B of M right now before christmas thats what President Bahr wants us to do so thats what I am working on, I have to read about 12 pages a day to finish so I am going to do that for sure. That is about all that is going on here, we get to talk like in 18 days which is not very far at all. I hope you have a great week I love you and miss you and I might be emailing late next week cause I am going to the temple Saturday with our ward so that will be our P-Day for next week. So if you don't get a email next Monday that is why. I love you!

Hey, what is going on Mom? Things are going okay here not to bad at all thats for sure. Yes, I sent the shoes off today I also got the fax thanks so much, I gave them my email address so I won't really know until next week when I eamil unless they call you. Well it actually hasn't been bad the last 2 days it has its spells it gets really cold then cools down again the wind chill has been really cold thats for sure it will say like 45 and it will be like 30 its pretty crazy how bone chilling it is. It amazes me but I am staying warm as of now not to bad. I have kinda heard the word on the street about them going to Colorado. I guess Dad wants to open a wing place restrauant. Just like you said you need to focus on the positive things in life I know it must be tough, but get on your hands and knees and plead with our father in heaven in the name of christ ask for guidence and direction. I know he will help you with what ever you may need! In Mormon 9:21 he will answer as long as we have faith no wavering it is a promise that he will answer our prayers. Yes, mission interviews went great, yes Pres. Bahr is a super awesome guy, I love him and his great leadership! Oh so sorry about the photos we have been so busy lately, its been crazy I promise I wrote you a letter this morning so I hope you get it soon! Sorrry I have been a bad son in the photo department. I love you so much Mom. Thanks for all your prayers, and support, I feel your love for sure! Keep me up to date on everything!

Hey, what is going on Mom? Today we did a mission hike it was pretty cool! We just got back it was about 3.5 or 4 mile hike it was really fun got to hang out with all my buddies so it was really fun. It was another good week here for sure the weather has just been rainy all the time thats like all it does anymore is just rains it kinda stinks but its all good at the same time for sure. Well lets see I did get your halloween card and gift card thanks for that! I appreciated it for sure! Oh,wow you mentioned Wings Express, man I really miss good wings there is hardly no such things as wings out here, but its ok I can wait a little longer. Well it seems like Logan is quite the little traveler. Did Daniel Mcrae serve a mission or what just curious? On a side note I think my desert schools card expires in Jan? So just a heads up on that so I am not without a card I guess that is right around the corner so thought I would let you know about that. Well I am glad that you have been able to be patient in searching for a house, that a good thing for sure! I love Ether 12 it is all about faith its a great one. Well continue to be examples to those that are around you.Keep living the gospel thats all we can do and endure to the end! Well thats cool that you went trick or treating with Tristan, thats way cool. Did Jay and Tina take my car to Colorado? Just wondering. You asked what I have learned on my mission? Well I have learned to be a strong member of the church. I have gained a stong testimony of the power of prayer so thats always good, I have learned to trust in the savior and his atonment in my life and I have learned to love everyone to have the pure love of christ. There is so many things to name but I really have learned alot on the mission. My testimony has grown so much I know so much more than I did before its crazy how things work on a mission. I am truly grateful that I was able to serve a mission its amazing out here! I really love it I am learning so much everyday! Well Mom I appreciate everything that you do for me I love you tons! I am glad that your my Mom! I love you take care, I hope that you have a good week!

Hey what is going on Mom? Well things are going alright here. Me and my
companion are getting along just fine. He is a great missionany, he worked but wasn't really going to church or anything like that so its pretty cool that he made it a goal and is serving a mission he is a really good guy. Well today is my 19 month mark is that crazy or what? I think that is pretty insane. When I hit 20 months its all down hill from there for sure then I will pretty much be home that is how fast time goes. Sounds like you have been super busy with so many things thats crazy that you don't have much time for your self it seems. That is pretty sad that Matt's Mom passed away that wasn't very expected was it? Well too bad that they don't have a better understanding of the gospel cause if they did it would be alot
easier, but it is there choice. It is so good to hear that your going to the
temple alot thats always a good thing. I am sorry that you haven't seen the
kids since May but don't feel too bad I haven't seen anyone for the last 19
months and I have 5 more to go so it is all good. I can't wait till I get to
see everyone that will be so amazing! The trunk or treat at church sounded fun, so glad that Tristan went with you. All of us missionaries have to be in at dark on the 30th and 31st again just like last year so it should be a fun one again. Well if your patient I am sure you will find the right house that you need. I am sorry I am
bad about the whole picture thing but I will try and send some soon, okay? I
have been slacking! Today was a really short pday we helped some investigators
put up a fence this morning so that took up most of our day that is why I am
emailing so late it was their only day they could do it. But it is all good it
was fun and we helped alot. Oh to answer a couple of your questions, yes I did get
the pictures thanks so much. Yes, Jayson can borrow my car as long
as there is insurance on it. Well thanks so much for everything I love you tons and miss you! Elder Colten Wells

Hi Mom! Well it was another great week here in New Jersey, we are really working a ton with the members to have them help us out but as well reactivate some
people we have a family coming back to church that hasnt been in a couple of
years so thats good but we really have a great ward. No I haven't had to speak in
the ward its huge so I probably won't have to because they have plenty of
other people to speak. Oh, I don't know if I am getting transferd I am guessing
not but transfers are 2 days later cause president is at a mission
presidents seminar so transfers are Friday. I am guessing I am staying because I
just got here. We normally find out on Saturday night like a couple
nights ago but we don't know when there going to tell us now so we will see I
just hope I stay for atleast 6 more weeks my companion is great for sure.
Oh,well lets see you wanted to know about a family in the ward? Well there is the
Alexanders they are one of my favorite people in my whole mission great
people they buy us groceries every now and then a feed us all the time. They are
super sweet people for sure! There is also another family the Cook's they are way
awesome as well they are really cool people I did get some pictures with them so
you know who they are so you can put some names with some faces. Things
are really good I will try and write a letter today to you so you will have one
soon. The weather is getting pretty cold a couple of nights its been in the 30's or so at night which is pretty cold. We ran 5.1 miles the other day so that was really cool well. I love you tons! Things are going ok here for me. I love you! Please tell everyone I say hello. Love, Elder Colten WElls

Well things are great here, though I am really sad. My companion is leaving he was only in the area one transfer iI am staying at least one more transfer which will be pretty good. I am really going to miss him he was such a stud and we got along great he was probably my favorite companion he was really great we never argued never got mad at each other or anything. I think he is going to be a Portugese ZL they got rid of the spanish ZL in Newark and I am pretty sure thats where he is going. I will be going to transfer conference on Wednesday to get another new companion but it will all work out I am sure. Today we went and played sports and hung out so we were kinda late on emailing but its all good. I sent Dad a letter and also one for you with the news letter it should be there any day. So Nate Cleverly talked to you man that one is really weird. Make sure you record Logan's homecoming talk and be sure to tell everyone to say hello to me on the recorder. I will be sending a memory card home soon so don't worry I won't hold out on you guys. Well Sakinah has been doing alright she is still coming to church so hopefully here soon she will get baptised. No I never found my charger I amsure I will find it soon. I have a another question my companion that is leaving Elder Quirino from Brazil, do you think you could send him a package with some things he has never recieved a package, his family is too poor to send anything to him he gets letters like 1 every 3 weeks he would love that you could just send it to the office like you do mine but with his name on it that would be so sweet I don't know if you can do that also maybe like a gift card or 2 and maybe like a volcom shirt? Things like that in Brazil are crazy expensive he said like a volcom tshirt in Brazil is like 80 bucks. I just know would really love that,I know it would make his day. I wont tell him either just anything he would really enjoy it I promise. He wears a medium size shirt? I love you for sure you guys are the best.! Have a great week!
