Elder Nicholas Furphy - T. H. E. Mission (Texas Houston East Mission)

Wazaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?!? First off, Elder Morris, I believe in you and know you'll do great things.  Second, Elder Ure, you have a wonderful smile.  Third, Elder Ewell, I miss having luaus with you.  AND NOW, ooo wee what a week.    Me n' Loynd Butterfly landed on a dude So, we had a short p-day last week.  So we went and got a pizza that a member bought us. It was real good. But then, at the end of that day, the Zone Leaders came over and said they were gonna blitz our area with us. I was very happy about that.    Funny comic And so the next morning, we went out and ran around a track. Then we had a really great breakfast of scrambled eggs and deer sausage. Sooooo goooood 🍳🦌😍😍😍😍😋. But yeah, I went around with Elder Davies and we met some really cool people and a member gave us Tamales. Then, on our way back from lunch, we ran into 2 people smoking and sat down and had a really great lesson with them. At first, ...

Soooooooo, Shout out to Elder Morris, it's all good bud, I believe in you.  Shout out to Elder Ure, you are one cool dude and have helped me through a ton 😘 BUT now it's on to my week! So, the week started out fantastic because we got the chance to go to the temple and I had some questions that I would like answered, so it was perfect. We got a ride with Elder Ure and Elder King, both very cool guys, by the way. They are super cool guys. But yeah, we went to the temple and I had a good talk with Elder Ure and Elder Douglass and they gave me council on how I can do better work here, in Buna, and how to get my comp MOTIVATED. So yes, it was a good time. We then rode the 3 hours home and went to a cool scripture study, in Woodville, with Elder Ure and King. It was super sweet. Then, we quickly went to the Woodville apartment and Elder Ure and I took some pics👌👌. Elder Furphy and Elder Ure                       ...

Ooooooooh man. So, Buna is very pretty and the people are nice. My mother tells me that there are about 2,200 people that live here, so it's super fun. I am still trying to get used to missionary work in the country and am having hard times here and there.   Country Roads Cool Backyard BUT! This last week sure was interesting. It started with us trying to figure out what to do because I have No clue what is going on here, in Buna. So we mainly just visited some members and some of the people we are teaching. That was cool. My good friend Grant Milner (Elder Milner) said that the really only effective way to do missionary work in the country is through the ward. So that is what I will try to do! A knife for 25 cents My companion's name is Elder Loynd and he is a fun guy. He will have been here, in Buna, for about 6 months after this transfer, so let's make it 7 1/2 LOL. He is a great guy to talk to. It took a while to get him to talk to me, but now w...

Well, well, well. This has been quite the transfer. Nothing too big happened this last week, so I will keep it pretty low key. Transfer day Elder Osborne and I had a fun time together this last transfer and this week we were able to get an Arabic Book of Mormon for a guy we are teaching. He is from Egypt. He was really interested in the historical context of the book and said he would read it, so that's super cool.  Elder Furphy and Elder Osborne Super Heroes Some not so great ice cream bars Also, Halloween was pretty cool, we went tracking and as the day went on, more and more people, dressed in costumes, would answer the doors - haha. It was great. We had to be in by 7:30pm, and so we headed home and it started pouring on us, so we got soaked haha.  Elder Osborne and Elder Furphy after biking in the rain.
