GRAPHIC!


So this week I got in a fight with a vicious cheetah! HA! Not really - I actually was at a service project sawing a branch of the tree.. the saw slipped.. cut my hand. It was bleeding everywhere! It was so funny to me! I am fine.. it is actually so intriguing to watch the healing process. Elder Cacciatore is such a great friend and he let me have one of his massive band aids and put some of this stuff on it that cleaned it. 

Let's see.. so about two weeks ago we stopped this man on the street and shared with him who we are and what we do as missionaries.. anyways - he told us he'd been to church three years ago but then had to stop going because he went to prison for about a year.. Well, God has found Him again! It's just amazing! 

Wow.. Each week moves faster and faster.. These next two weeks are just going to zoom past. 2 exchanges, a skills workshop, mission leadership council, general conference, district leader council meetings, transfer calls, zone meetings, my companions birthday then... transfers. I cannot believe it's going so quickly! I feel like I have so much more I need to learn. 


I went on an exchange with Elder Cain this week. We had so much fun.. except the silly car gives us problems and so we spend like 4 hours of it waiting for it to be fixed.. I want to go back to bus's... But he is so amazing! He has it all. He can teach, find, plan, and he understands the english people soo much. He is from Milton Keynes but has lived in New Zealand for a few years. We had loads of fun! 

Well... That's basically all I have to say today. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER March 16, 2015

 
We'll start of this week with a picture of me and Elder Cain! Wow, this missionary is amazing! He is serving in St. Helens right now and we have so much fun whenever we are together! We just laugh and laugh! 

This week went well. We are teaching some pretty amazing people right now! One of them happens to be a DJ.. ooo ;) 

​Things are going well. I am just as happy as ever before. I love love love life. 

I don't have too much to say really. All I know is that I feel like the happiest person on the planet to be called to serve as a missionary. Helping people day by day is the best thing that I could ever do. I am so grateful for my time to serve the people. 


​ This is a grand majority of the Elders from my group at Mission Leadership Council!! Pretty great! I can't believe how far we've all come. It's crazzzyy.. 

Living and loving life to the max!

All I Feel is Love March 2, 2015

Dear Everyone,

My mission is changing my whole life. I am soo grateful for everything that God has given to me. I feel that God knows every single detail of my life and so sweetly and lovingly helps me feel His love for me through small and simple things. I just wish I could explain in detail the kind of experiences that I have had on my mission that have given me the utmost assurance that there is so much more to this life than we can see with our natural eye. 


Elder Robinson and I are having a ton of fun together! It's like we've been friends forever.. I seriously love serving with him!!! We have had some major miracles.. just the other day we met a man named Omar and decided to go and see him on Saturday morning.. unfortunately we couldn't ring his flat because it was like a refuge house but they passed on a pamphlet for us.. BUT we decided to street contact in the area and we met this woman who was from the same country as him!! She is amazing. She is from Eritrea and she worked very hard to be able to graduate from a university in New York with a PhD in Chemistry! Wow. She's amazing. She has really strong faith in Christ and after speaking with her about the church we asked her if there was anyone we could pray for and then she just broke down crying and told us about her nephew who has been sent to prison and how hard the conditions were going to be be for him. We assured her that we'd pray for him and her and that God would take care of her family! It was so wonderful.. She expressed her gratitude in meeting with us and it was just wonderful. 


​#transferday 

haha Elder Cain and Elder O'Gram. Currently serving in St. Helens! Wow. They are soo good. We are having fun with them :) 


​ So, my friends, this is Tom. Wow. He is amazing. If I was born in England this would be my life! He is majoring in music, he sings amazingly, he's in a band, he plays in the orchestra. Wow. We were even born on the same day! It's crazy.. but we went to the fireside last night and had a good time. He's great! 

Well.. dont' have too much more to write about.. This week is going to fly by.. we have so many meetings.. temple day, district meeting, mission leadership council.. it's just gonna WHOOOSH. Be gone sooo fast. 

Love you all,
Elder Humpherys

The mission is like having a giant family! February 16, 2015



​ Well - this is the gang. Elder Greenhalgh, Waetchler, Cacciatore, Humpherys, Robinson, and Werner. Wow. We have sooo much fun together! (Notice my glasses.. woo.) The mission is like having a giant family. It's so fun to get to know the other missionaries. The Zone has had such an incredible week this week. We had many many miracles and everyones faith is just boosting. We are working harder than ever.

We had a great experience this week! We have been meeting with this man for a while know.. We've seen about 4 times since October. He is just so busy but he's pretty interested. He is a DJ and just totally wants to change his life around and give his daughter a good life. Well at our next lesson SUPRISE he brought his girlfriend and she is sooo prepared! They had great questions and really loved the chapel. So we'll hope to see more progress with them.


​ This picture. With my creep eye. ;) Woo! 


​This is the great and spacious building that we went to. Wow. It was sooo beautiful. Love me some culture.


​ We did a "blitz" on Crosby the other day. Invited some missionaries down and just powerhoused found for 3 hours! It was a blast!!! We saw many miracles and just had a smashing time! 


​ We are the EMM!!  The best mission ever.. I just love this place and I love being a missionary. We had a great week this week. I wish this transfer was longer! 

We had a mission activity this week and my companions had to bear the departing testimony :( It's so sad! Life is moving too quickly.. Not sure how I feel about that at the moment. I love every second of my mission!! I don't have to many seconds left!



Love,
Elder Humpherys

Then we had an appointment at a friends house and SURPRISE.. He fed us SOO much. It was a big African meal.. haha. We were so full we had to make ourselves throw up.. it was the only way to sure relief! But.. we are okay now. :) but.. it made this happen to my eye!!! 


​I popped a blood vessel! haha. I look sooo crazy. It spread a bit more today but it's great! haha. I just love it :) 
Wow. These two. Some of my most favorite companions. I love them both so much. Elder Sintim has the heart of lion! He is just a spiritual giant and Elder Greenhalgh is just all around amazing!
