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

Hello you fabulous people! I hope your week has been super swell. We have had some good times this week. So let's get to it!   Elder Rasmussen has a really good camera You can still balance brooms btw I went on exchanges with Elder Nash, our District Leader, this week and that was a ton of fun! I went to Moss Bluff with him and we went around teaching people as we walked. We went to a Christian get-together thing, near the end of the day, and basically had a "eat chili and bible study" for an hour. It was radical. We also had dinner with two of the people that Elder Nash and Elder Houser are teaching and we had a lesson with them after the meal and let me tell you, God prepares the elect to find His gospel. It's so cool to see how some people will just grab on once they find truth.  Elder Nash and I found an opened up fire hydrant  Elder Rasmussen and I found some people to teach this week and one of them was a very cool story! We were lookin...

Query: If you pour water into water, does the water then become wet? Hello one and all! This is yet another great week for Disciples of Christ! Elder Rasmussen and I have been having a ball together. Lots of good experiences this week including:    We made a pit stop on our way to Baytown We got some Bahama Bucks We went to the darkness of Cameron, LA - Going to Baytown for car inspections (took 6 hours overall! 🙃)  - Biking 40 minutes to the Lake of Lake Charles - Having the spirit whisper in my ear SO here are the deets. Our car had to get inspected this last week by the state. But our car is registered in Harris County, which is 2 hours away, in Baytown, TX. So, we drove out there which was fun and we sat in Firestone Auto for like an hour and then, we went by Bishop Dinsdale's auto shop to say hi real quick, so that was a fun experience. He is so awesome. Then, we drove the 2 hours back. It was a good time for reflectio...

Haha LOOOOOOOL  Me, Elder Rasmussen, and Josh at institute He done fell asleep Okay let's just say, dealerships can be the worst sometimes LOL. But it's all good. Our car was being dumb.     So we had to go to the dealership like 3 days in a row, cuz they were taking a LOOONG time. But like I said, it's all good. We actually had an opportunity to share the message of the restoration with one of the workers there.   She was asking us questions and so we shared what we do and what we share. She seemed interested and even took a Book of Mormon and said she would try to make it to church, if she had time! That was so cool.  Us at the Chevy dealership We had a chance to go on exchanges with the Zone Leaders, Elders Dyer and Elder Baumann. It was LEGIT. I went with Elder Dyer and we walked around in the cold and froze our booties off, but we met some really cool people along the way. We stopped by a member, cuz I had to usar el ba...

Heyoooooo! How are y'all??? I hope all is well. But hey, life is good here in Louisiana. Lake Charles is so much fun :). The work here is chugging along just fine and we are seeing miracles. It's pretty legit. Too legit to quit.   This was a fun driveway   BIG TREE   Some Louisiana Land WE DONE FOUND SOME EMUS But, we did have a good time. Elder Rasmussen is my new companion and I am his 2nd trainer. His 1st trainer, Elder Price, went home cuz he finished his mission. I've been trying to meet all the important people in the ward and get to know as many members as possible. It's been awesome. I keep saying references to Texas stuff and I have to keep reminding myself that I am in Louisiana and NOT Texas. SO, that's an adjustment. But hey, if that's the only big adjustment I have to make, I'll take it 😎.   Me and Elder Rasmussen Elder Rasmussen changed a tire in 5 min 18 seconds! Elder Rasmussen and ...

Lol. Yeah, I done got caught. Just kidding-just kidding.  I did get transferred though! Super sad. I was hoping to stay in Fairmont for at least another transfer, but hey the Lord has a better vision of his work than I do. So, I got transferred to a place called LAKE CHARLES! It's super cool and it's in Louisiana.   So I've finally made it out of Texas. Pretty crazy my dudes.  I never thought this would happen, but here I am. I might finish my mission here lol. I don’t know though. We'll see. Me and the Dinsdales  The Dinsdales took me out for dinner yesterday 😎 BUT this week was SWEET! We had a sweet MLT (Missionary Leadership Training), on Tuesday, where all the District Leaders and Zone Leaders got together and we discussed what it means to be the 4th missionary. To be the 4th missionary means to be all in and 100% committed to the lord and stuff like that. It was cool to see what people thought and it was a really revelatory experience. So...
