Not too exciting of a week this week guys. just continue to find people and teach everyone once in a while. no ne too solid yet but don't worry there will be. Good news though, today i bought a recorder so and i have already learned half of the song "Sweet Hour of Prayer" I'll basically be a pro by the time i come home. So that i can woo all the women with my sweet musical sounds from the recorder!I haven't come up with an awesome name for my recorder yet though so if you have any suggestions please email them too me so far the only one I can come up with is "Vanilla Chocolate"!
So I don't have any sweet stories to lay down this week but i decided to tell you I nightmare I had a couple weeks ago. Soin my nightmare we were teaching one of the Elect of God a lesson Called the Word of Wisdom ( you may of heard of it). Ya well there me and my companion were just sitting in her living room teaching the lesson when my companion begins to tell her how it is against the word of wisdom to eat cheese and begins to pull out a chart of different types of cheeses! He starts going through the whole chart and explains that blue cheese isn't against the word of wisdom but mozzarella is. So i run in there and start arguing with him and telling her that its not against the W.O.W you can eat as much cheese as you want, but she wasn't believing me she was believing him and then I woke up in a pile of sweat and tears! WOOOO! IT was a terrible nightmare!
Its OK though cause i learned a great lesson from it! We can look into any commandment we want. We can try and find loop holes and whats allowed and whats not allowed. The commandments give us a line and we can try to get close to the line all we want.... but lets face it , it's just better to stay as far away from that line as we can get!
Thanks for the letters grandma and Matthew! and to the rest of you..............

Well it has been very good week guys, Elder LIndstrom and I are going to bike up to a village called Rudry today and then we are going to see if we can find a herd of sheep up in the hills and then we are gonna try and ride them. Well atleast I am haha i dont think Elder Lindstrom wants to try it. Its basically the way the Welsh people Slap the Bull! I dont really have any cool stories to tell you guys this week sorry! So hopefully next week i will have some cooler pictures of the Welsh Hills and lots of Sheep!

November 7, 2011 - Remember Remember the 5th of November!
Hello family and friends,
Saturday was the fifth of november a day of fireworks and bomb fires! I was able to experience the best firework show i have ever seen in my entire life! Caerphilly Castle is the Best!
Oh by the way i never told you guys but a couple weeks ago Elder Lindstrom and I got pulled over by the coppers! We were running late for an appointment so had to bike on the dual carriage way ( basically a freeway) In the middle of the night! Oh ya and i forgot to mention that we forgot our bike lights hahaha! Ya that copper wasnt too happy, he was really chewing us apart. to be honest it was quiet annoying seeing as how the longer he talked to us the more late we were going to be. God didnt really want us to be late though so he decided to send our bishop. Bishop Jones " luckily" " just happened" to be driving on the same free way and saw that we were be pulled over by a cop. so he pulled over, calmed down the policeman, and gave us a ride to the appointment. We got to the appointment it time! dont worry we didnt get a ticket.
That picture i sent of the long piece of ice cream thingy. thats what the Brits call a Vieneta! And if God made anything better then he kept it to himself! Its basically heaven divided with thin pieces of chocolate! I decided to take one step thought and crammed it all into a glass and poured rootbeer into it. What i call a vieneta float. ( no they dont have rootbeer in britain and if you do find any it taste terrible, but i was able to get some quality A&W rootbeer from the martyn family)

October 31, 2011 - Baptism's and Transfers
Hey Guys,
Sorry I didnt write last week but the power went out so when i
was in the middle of the emailing thing the computer just shut off. I
was tempted to come back towards the end of P-day to see if the
computers came back on but i decided to go into town center and get a
proper english pasty at a place called Greggs instead. Its alright i'm
sure you guys understand i Love you :)! Greggs is the bomb though we
need to get one in Utah!
So Cogratulations to me i got transfered to a place called
Caerphilly in Wales and my new companion's name is Elder
Lindstrom!..................................................................That
was a test to see if you guys actually read all my emails because if
you really did you would know i've been serving in Caerphilly Wales
for 6 months now and you would also know that I have been serving with
Elder Lindstrom for like 3 months now! So i didnt get transfered!
Which is very good news! So me and Elder Lindstrom get to kick some
serious butt for another transfer! ( yes missionaries sometimes say
the word butt, they make sure to repent later for it though).
The baptisms went super duper, the spirit slapped all of us in
the face nurmerous of times! Sam's arm was sticking out of the water
while i was baptising her though so i basically had to drown to get
her to go all the way down in the water! She already told you that
though on my blog. ( another test to see if you have even looked at my
blog). Oh and the other baptism picture of the Little Girl is Amelia
or as we call her Millie. She is the bomb and asked Elder Lindstrom
and I to be witnesses at her baptism! Her and her family are some
pretty cool cats. Well i dont have much more to tell you except happy
Birthday PoPs!
Love Elder J Weihing

October 17, 2011 Baptism Saturday
Looks like Kenneth and I will be baptising on the same day! :)
I will be baptising Sam on Saturday and Elder Lindstrom will be baptising Jaqueline then on Sunday Elder Lindsrtom will confirm Sam and I will confrim Jaqueline. I will also most likely be my last sunday in Caerphilly :( ! Hopefully i am able to stay in Wales though because it such an awesome place!
So the other night we decided to knock a few doors to try and invite people to a marvelous choir concert that we were having! We must of picked a street with an Elect of God on it or something because Satan put some pretty nasty people in our path! Everyone at the door was just incredibly rude and just kept attacking us! Then we met a whole group of Born Again Christians! They were the biggest Jerks ever we were just talking to them all friendly and they just came at us with Guns a blazing making fun of our beliefs and this and that. Boy did i want to bash the heck out of them and humble them to the earth but their hearts were not sufficiently softened. So after the Born again admitted to us that he was going to pray with all his heart that not one person would listen to us and that he will do his best to keep us here talking to him all night instead of preaching the gospel Elder Lindstrom told him he would have to stand at the Judgement bar of God and stand accountable for what he has done and then we walked away. It was pretty frustrating but you get used to those situations and do your best not to bash with them because i cant convince them and prove to them that what we teach is true all we can do as missionaries is do our best to help them feel the spirit and let it convert them! The spirit is a pretty cool thing!
Missions = Happiness thats all i can say. It may not make any sense to you but if you experience it you would agree with me a mission is pure happiness and alot of work and worry but still pure happiness. Never been happier and never been stronger.

" Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. "

Well i forgot my camera so too bad no photos this time!
We got good news and bad news. Good news Jaq and Sam are still set for baptism on the 22nd and Jaq has asked me to confirm her at church the next day which i'm incredibly nervous for! Jaq is loving the church, she even cried durning the hymm at church the other day because she was so happy haha! She is funny, she is the perfect proper british lady; she is so polite! Even Greater news is that she is getting married as well in January at our chapel! Now all we need is her fianc'e to get baptised as well and we can take her to the temple next year! She is the best, and we are going to be life long friends so she better get used to me! Sam Is doing good as well After teaching her all the commandments i think she is going to be ready for the 22nd as well! It is gonna be a bomb baptism and we're hoping to slap everyone there with the spirit!
The church is true! Jesus is the Christ and Thomas is the Monson!

October 5, 2011 - Rain Finally
Hello Family,
Works going great in the good old country of Wales! Its is finally raining again! It was a dreadful week without one cloud! That was my first week without any rain since like may! My companion isnt too happy about the rain though
Conference was pretty awesome! by the way there is a video on with a few pictures from our mission on lds.org. Go to 'menu', then 'news and events' at the very bottom is an article about Elder Bednar's assignment in Europe.It's all about when he came to visit us last month.
Works good! Church is True! Sam is obeying the word of wisdom and preparing for baptism on the 22nd and so is Jack! Sam is also now wanting to go visit utah in april and see General Conference haha! I'm going to make sure she goes to meet you guys! Funny that we could just knock on her door one day and then become life long friends! I havent written any letters in a while sorry about that the last couple p-days have been a little crazy but i'll try to write some next monday!
