Lots of good stuff going on back home! how is Mom going to babysit all the new babies thats what i want to know? I think Kenneth will have to help haha! That lucky punk!
Well all though its the beginnings of a long dark winter here in wales the Investigators are blossoming like spring is in the air! I'm happy to announce that we have recently found 2 elect and chosen and specially prepared souls of God! Elder Lindstrom tracked into one of them will i was working in Cwmbran ( cumbran, a W in welsh makes a sorta U sound) for the day. She had already been reading the book of Mormon! We met with her today and she was quiet excited to hear that there is a prophet on the Earth today and she was even more excited to find out that she could hear him speak on the Internet! IF only we were all that excited to hear from the prophet of God! We then tracked into another women who asked us all the Golden questions like where do we go when we die why do we experience such bad things in our life and how can she know that there even is a God! We taught her and it went super duper and she even has an 11 year old daughter so hey sound like a potential of 3 baptisms here! Which an absolute Miracle! Besides the Baptism last year then there hasn't been a baptism here in donkeys years!
Well i don't have much more to say besides that you guys need to keep writing me!
One Love,
Elder Wizine ( that's rap for Weihing)

August 22, 2011 - Beth sydd i fyny deulu! thats Welsh!
Beth i fyny!
Now you know how weird welsh looks! Its a very hard language and to be honest everyone here speaks English so there is no real point in learning it! My companion has had a hard time understand the welsh accent though haha its funny its like they are speaking another language to him. He's been in England his whole mission
Boy is it great having an American Companion again! Elder Lindstrom and I are just tearin in up here in wales! ; kicking some butt taking some names, AKA preaching the Gospel with power and authority!
The other day we got into the usual bible bash at the front door and Elder Linsdtrom bore a powerful testimony to the guy and i followed up with double testify that the book of Mormon is the word of God! Boy was it powerful! and the guy just went dead silent! So then i testified again since he decided he was going to start listening haha and i told him that the only way he can be with his daughter for Eternity is by following the Gospel of Jesus Christ! But the stubborn man still said no! and shut the door in our face! so then me and Elder Lindstrom went dust off our feet hahaha JK JK!
Seriously though it is the best feeling in the world to look at someone straight in the eye and say the Book of Mormon is the word of God and it will tell you what you must do to gain peace in this life and the next haha you guys should just all go on missions its the best!
Last p-day we went inside the Carphilly castle which was super duper! So i attached some flippin awesome pictures! What's crazy, is that sweet thing is just lying around in the center of the village! it makes for great place for street contacting! I may buy some souvenirs of the castle and bring them home for you guys! but only because i love you guys! Hey take care of all my nephews and soon nieces! and show them pictures of me so they know what i look like! You think i am kidding!
Adios ( that is Spanish for goodbye), Hwyl fawr ( thats welsh for goodbye)
one love

No worries guys there are no riots in the small villages of Wales to be honest i don't even really know whats going on with all that stuff its probably all over now. That just shows how much we know about whats going on in the world! I've heard that the police killed some drug lord or something like that so all the Chaves in the country are destroying things is that true?
Well i have a new companion names elder Lindstrom he is from Payson Utah ha ha and he still has his full on accent ha ha! He sounds like such a hick ha ha. The good thing is that he knows quiet a bit about fixing bikes so he's shown me a few things so i can fix most of the normal problems with my bike. The hard part is just going to be able to find the time to do it!
We may have found some potential golden investigators! so hopefully you will be hearing about a couple upcoming baptisms! To be honest it would be a miracle for me to baptize before i left Caerphilly! I really think it will happen though! plus i have a felling that if i don't get transferred next transfers then i will be here until Christmas! Turns out I'll probably be a welsh missionary most of my mission!
Funny experience: Ian (gay investigator) came to church this Sunday and boy is he a box full of laughs! ha ha he is so out of control! and what do you think happened to be the lesson? THE LAW OF CHASTITY!!! This guys is so awkward ha ha lets just say he often has some very inappropriate comments even when we aren't teaching the law of chastity so you can imagine what this was like ha ha. so we walked in to the lesson and Ian hadn't arrived yet and we announced to everyone that was there that Ian was going to be here today ha ha and they all at the same time moaned ha ha and said great! the lessons on the law of chastity! ha ha so everyone was luckily prepared for the bumpy ride! It was defiantly one of the best church classes I've been too! Ian debated with a lot of things and brought up some pretty weird/ awkward stuff ha ha that I'm not even sure I'll mention in my email ha ha but he ended up calling out a 19 year old kid in the class and asked him"have you had sex?" then when the kid said no he was like " what that's weird!" ha ha oh man it was funny you just should of been there luckily they skipped the part about homosexual relations! who knows what would of happened.
bye

Hey guys i'm gonna keep this letter short and sweet cause i want to go and enjoy the wonderous blessings of P-day!
Elder Gräppi and i were not tranfered! Last sunday right before church Bishop sent us a text and asked one of us to speak in sacrament so how do me and Elder Gräppi decide which one of us has to speak? I heated game of Rock Paper Scissors! In which i sadly lost! So i ernded up having to speak in sacrament.
I would try and tell a sweet story but Kenneth already kicked my butt with the action hero climbing out a 4 story window to save a damsel in distress. Kenneth how am i supposed to top that one?! You need to tell boring stories so all the normal missionaires dont feel so bad when they just talked to a man sitting on a park bench who seemed somewhat interested in the Gospel! I say that because that was my highlight of the week haha! Seriously it was! I felt strongly prompted to talk to this man sitting on a park bench smoking a fag( aka cigarette, i just like to call it a fag for emphasis). So i talked to him and he said " kind of funny you would come talk to me right now, I just found out my wife wants a divorce and she is kicking me out of the house and none of my kids want to see me again, and i dont have a job! I have been praying to god today to show me a sign and also to tell me what i should do, then you show up right now of all the times" It was pretty cool for me haha haha maybe next week i'll save someone from drowning in the Welsh rain!
Love Elder Weihing
