Disappearing objects when welding

Hi,

I'm trying to weld 2 objects but 1 of them dissappears when I do that.

I made an ellipse and in that ellipse I wrote a name. I converted every letter to curves and welded them together. Now I let the letters touch the oval/ellipse and tried to weld everything together. The name inside the ellipse dissapears when I do that. Just for testing I let a letter stick outside of the ellipse and then when I weld that piece of the letter outside the ellipse stays visible, but everything inside the ellipse still disappears.

What am I doing wrong? I hope someone can tell me!
