Letter Home January 30th, 2008

Hola Famila,

My knee is fine no worries it hurts, but hey I can deal with it. We did not get a car. We did get another Elder, so we are a threesome now. His name is Elder Lloyd, he is from California. I cannot believe he is 26 year old. Too think that he is the same age as Stacey, and she has 3 kids. He looks 21 though. He has been out about 18 months.

I did get the package with all the stuff I it. I got the package today with the shirts and the cookies. Man I love them so much. That is the only thing that I don’t share with anyone. Sorry but they are just too tasty. Every once in a while I will have a little love in my heart and share a little. Ha-ha. Not that much though.

So we had the Baptism this last Sunday for Nayda. So awesome her Uncle was supposed to do it, but at the last minute he said he was sick so he couldn’t come to church. Well so she asked me to do it. So I baptized her. It was definitely pretty cool. The spirit is so strong. Nayda is awesome she was so nervous but she knew that the decisions she was making were correct.

We did not have our zone conference yet that is next Monday.

Yes, we got moved. The apartments are fairly close about a mile away. It is way better than the other apartment it came furnished and everything so that is definitely pretty sweet. We have a couch, and a kitchen table. The bedroom is a little small but hey it’s only for six weeks.

So Colten, time will definitely come faster as you get closer to your mission. Then time goes by so fast when you are out I can promise you that.

Yes the picture I sent home was Pamela she is a super cool girl, definitely a little hard to understand. But she is super sweet and a great example. We are having another baptism this next Sunday his name is Jon Carlos he is 16 and is a friend of a member he is so full of the spirit and he is way excited to be baptized.

We wear our suits to church every Sunday that is the only requirement. My shoes are fine. The rockports are definitely my favorite they seem to have the best support for my big fat feet. Ha-ha.

I need to have the original social security card, because Elder Thomas tried to get his drivers license but they would not allow him to get his license because he did not have the original card.

So Zac will be the first one to go outside of the electric circle that’s sweet. I am excited for him to become a pilot. Tell him “Good-Luck” for me!

Yeah we heard the news about Pres. Hinckley but it’s not sad to me at all. He is finally getting to be with those people that he misses so much. His parents and his wife. If others hear of his death, it will open a lot of opportunities for us as Missionaries for sure.

Well so life is great. I am loving the work and the people here! I love you all! Elder Wells

P.S. If you could get me this book I would appreciate it. It’s called “Book of Mormon on Trial” I have heard it will help with understand the B of M better! Thanks!
