Wales is the best and serving a mission in Wales is the best! Jack is still good for her baptism! She loves the Gospel and i think she is really looking forward to hearing the Prophet and Apostles speak this week! All of you in Utah don't even realize how luck you are to just turn on the TV and see a prophet of God or to walk outside and see 5 temples or to be able to drive 30 minutes and see temple square and the conference center. People here cant even believe that! They think Mormons are the people that grow horns on their heads and eat their own children! Sam just barely realized that Mormon are normal people haha! she now watches TV and says hey that person could be a Mormon!
Last week was a fantastic week! Sam works at the cinema's and she even got me some Popcorn from the cinema's! Its probably one of the best gifts i ever received in my whole life! Elder Lindstrom and I are kicking some serious butt here in Caerphilly and were gonna get this ward to do missionary work whether they like it or not haha! We planned out a pretty crazy idea for ward council this Tuesday but i think it's crazy enough to work! Instead of sitting in the stupid meeting talking about missionary work we are going to divide the ward council into pairs and then go into the town and have them handout pass along cards! Haha they aren't going to like the Idea but hey there isn't anything that we can say that they haven't heard already about missionary work so we are just going to go out and do it instead of talking about it!
Love you guys! If you got any other crazy ideas for me that you think might be a good idea to try let me know cause I'm always looking for new ways to find people!

September 19, 2011 - Bedydd! ( Baptism in Welsh)
Hello family and friends,
Before i explain the baptism part I'll explain some of the pictures that me and Elder Lindstrom in front of an old welsh post office in St. Fagans.( yes i am wearing a sweet Ninja Turtle shirt). The other one is a picture of me with a peasant! occasionally you will be walking down the street and see someone that looks kinda wrinkly and is missing and a few teeth and you'll think I'll bet that person's ancestors were peasants but i actually got to meet a real one so i got a picture with him.
We have been teaching a lovely lady named Jaqueline! Well we have been teaching her for the past couple weeks and she has been doing really really well she loves prophets she loves the church she is just super duper. Well she accepted a baptismal date on October 21st! Thats kinda a big deal! Sam (the lady with a daughter that we are teaching) has decided to take the stop smoking program this week! Hello Sam if your reading this! I hope she is ready for a mind blowing lesson!

September 14, 2011 - The Welsh Sea with an Apostle
Those are the pictures from our wondrous P-day Expedition last week! The work is going super duper Caerphilly is exploding with people wanting to be taught pretty soon we are going to have to create a waiting list! don't really have much to say nor time to tell you, me and Elder Lindstrom are going to go hit up a place called saint Fagans and hopefully eat some spotted dick after ! haha we aren't really going to eat some spotted dick after I just wanted to say that because it seems to go so well with the place called saint. Fagans haha apparently though spotted dick taste really good i want to try it some sometime, it is some sort of Desert!
I will tell you a pretty great experience though just because i love you guys and its kind of a big deal. I got to meet an Apostle of God! Elder Bednar came to visit the great country of Britain! why else would they call it Great Britain. It was an amazing experience i shook his hand and everything and there were security people all over the place and they even locked up the whole chapel and everything! We basically got to sit there for 3 hours and ask him questions! I cant say that he said anything spectacular or that he did anything special but there was something special when he taught us! That was because he truly taught with the power of the Holy Ghost. It was a powerful,l Powerful 3 hours I felt like i learned so much. I really understand how i can learn from the Holy Ghost now! 4 hours after i met with him i still was overcome with the spirit and i was still learning thing,s i don't know how to explain it. But i do have a duty to tell every single one of you that i know that he is truly a prophet seer and revelator and i know that through the power of the holy ghost because it truly did overcome me when i was in his presence. There was nothing special about him he was and is a man but he has something with him that no other man besides an apostle has. I am your brother your son or your friend and i would not lie to you and if you were here i would stare you right in the eye and tell you that i know that there are prophet seers and revelators on the earth today that speak the words of God, I met one and I pray upon reading these words you will feel the Holy Ghost tell you these things are true. For I felt the Holy Ghost tell me they were true when i met a prophet of God. Elder Bednar is an ordinary man with an Extraordinary calling!

September 5, 2011 - Interesting Food!
teulu bore da,
Well i've eaten some weird food this week! Oh and we are teaching some solid investigators now so Caerphilly is turning into a Gold Mine of souls prepared for the Gospel! It has been a heck of a lot of work though!
So i'll start off with the weird food! The black thing is what the Brit's like to call Black Pudding. Which is dried pigs blood! To be honest it doenst taste to bad! The other thing we ate was an African dish called Sudsa> You have to eat sudsa with your hands! you basically just grab a handful of mazemeal and then grab a handfull of that green crap! The green crap is peanut butter mixed with cooked vegies and the other thing is just meat. so those are some of the interesting things i've eaten.
We are teaching a lady named sam and her daughter brioney who will probably be baptized! and a lady named jackie who already had read half way through the book of mormon sorry now i got to go and see the ocean!
