May 30, 2011 - Punched in the Face!

Hello Family and Friends,

  People in Caerphilly do not like missionaries haha. I'll be honest Elder Grappi and I go into some pretty dodgy places where a lot of rough people live.( AKA Ghetto's)

  One such day me and elder Grappi were just riding our bikes talking to those lucky few that we saw on the streets; When Elder Grappi and i decide to talk to a man letting his 3 year old daughter out of the back seat of his car. He being the typical welsh man was very rude and said some pretty horrible things that i cant say. As i begin to ask him if there is anyone that he knows of that would be interested in our message his dog jumps on Elder Grappi's leg. Elder Grappi was worried it was going to bite him so he kind of kicked it away. Then all of the sudden i see the man cock back his arm and punch Elder Grappi right in the face!!! Now i wish at his point i could say that me and ELder Grappi dropped our bikes on the floor and kicked this guys butt ......but no that's not what happened at all because we are missionaries so we just sat on our bikes and stared at the man as he grabbed his dog and little daughter and walked into his house while yelling some more horrible horrible things to us! Elder Grappi's face is fine haha luckily the man who punched him was kind of out of shape and a really bad aim so it wasn't a really good punch.

   So Caerphilly is a little bit more rough compared to peaceful Hereford. We are working really hard talking to everyone we see praying always and i have faith that pretty soon something big is going to happen, Because Elder Grappi and i are working are very hardest we just need to be patient. And I know the lord didnt' call me here to plant seeds he called me to teach and to baptize. There is  at least one person in all of Caerphilly that is prepared for me by the Lord and my Job is to seek out and find that person. I'm no planter I'm a hunter!

   Don't lose your faith family! I love you guys! The Lord will provide, but only if you trust him! Miracles are brought by faith!

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him"

May 16, 2011 - I Loooooooooove Being A Missionary

Hey everyone,

    I loooooooooooooooove being a missionary! Caerphilly is beautiful, the people are wonderful when they don't throw hamburgers at us, and the Gospel is true! It rained almost everyday last week and boy was it fantastic! There really is something magical about a welsh rainfall! But I'll be honest i do miss Hereford! Everyone who is from Hereford that is reading this pat your self on the back cause you guys are cool!
    Caerphilly has some dodgy area's haha there a lot more chaves ( punks) here then there were in Hereford. But Me and Elder Gräppi are still kicking some trash taking some names! We are working super duper hard. We talk to absolutely every person we see even if the person is pretty dodgy haha ... it makes for some pretty interesting experiences. There are no real investigators yet but we got a lot of potential next week so we will see. Plus i know that God prepares people to meet missionaries so as long as we work as hard as we possibly can God will do the rest. I do miss everyone back home but i promise you guys I'm doing my very best out here and I'm the happiest I've ever been.


I put on some pictures of some of the people in Hereford, Elizabeth, Mark( who just had a baby yesterday!!! ) The Hissy's, The Martins, and the Henry's

I'm gonna miss em! But i expect letters from the update me whats going on

May 12, 2011 - New Address! I've Been Moved To Wales!

Hello everyone!

      I am now serving in a different country! You probably never realized that my mission covers two countries, England and Wales. Wales is flipping Awesome and i am serving in the most beautiful village in Wales it is called Caerphilly pronounced Ca-filly. Everytime i look at it though i think of a caterpillar. I cannot believe the amazing views they have here. There is Even a Castle in the center of the village with a moat around it and everything it is actually the second biggest castle in Great Britain. Its so beautiful Like seriously if you are reading this right now google Caerphilly castle and look at some of the pictures cause i'll bet they are amazing. Sorry i have some brilliant pictures but i forgot to bring my camera so i'll send them next week.

    My companions name is Elder Gräppi he is from Switzerland and he is the man! Ya he doesnt quiet get my humor yet but he will with time. I think me whistling Jingle Bells when we bike in the rain is starting to get on his nerves Haha. they only have one investigator here i believe but there is some real potential for some big things to happen. Plus thats how Hereford was before i got there and then we had 3 baptisms! So Hey time to do it again! Me and Elder Gräppi are about to kick some serious butt and take some names! OH p.s Elder Gräppi's accent sounds so funny

Hey sorry i didnt get to talk to you guys very long but hey i am only supposed to take 45 min. oh and guess what kj! that watch you got me broke the next day! it just fell right off my hand!  oh and fam i forgot to tell you in packages you should send me CD's Church Music and any cool Piano Music or Violin Music or just instrumental. I can listen to basically any thing that is church related or is Disney Music or that is Instrumental. Elder Schmidt had some stuff from the New England Orchestra that was quiet nice.

My New Address is

Every day i dont get a letter a fairy loses its wings! If ye love me, write me. I heard that God forgives one sin for every letter you write to a Missionary.( But he forgives 2 sins for every letter you write to Elder Weihing). Write me, everyones doing it! Wednesday is write weihing day!

May 3, 2011

   I'll keep this one short since i'll be talking to you guys on sunday. Thats gonna be awesome but eh dont expect an english accent. Amy Martin has been trying to help me with it but its no where near good enough yet actually to be honest it sucks and usually she just laughs at me whenever i try.
        OH by the way i'm kind of thinking i will be transfered next week, shich is very sad. To be honest i really really do not want to leave. I'm really gonna miss Hereford, its like my home now. I hope that there is a pirate in my next area! what am i gonna do without sister Henry to sew up all the trousers that i rip ( pants in England means underwear). Let it be known to all people who have never been  to England, Hereford is the best , they have the most beautiful counrtyside but most of all they have the best people i've ever met. I will miss them. Fam, i hope one day you guys can meet all these great people! Except for the pirate i dont think he will be too friendly , unless you bring him a new dog.
