TIME FLIES

Hey everyone! Sorry, I don't have a ton of time to write this week, but I hope you're all having such a great time back at home! I miss you all so much! We got to meet with our mission president this week, and it was awesome. I love that man so much! We also got to have a lot more lessons this week, which was super fun. I got to spend one day as a Spanish elder during exchange's, and I thrived. Haha just kidding, I had no idea how to say anything but I had a really good time. It was fun seeing the gospel spread in an entirely new language. That will be super cool to see once I get to Ukraine! Also, happy late Halloween everyone. I hope it was a good one! We didn't really get up to anything but service on Halloween, but it was still super fun. Doing yard work on Halloween is actually the move. I read a talk from President Monson this last week called "Finding Joy in the Journey". It was all about making the best of every moment and oppurtunity, because we never know when they will be gone. Never take the little things for granted! Church, the Scriptures, and our families are incredible, and we should love them for the gifts from God that they are, especially our families! Let you families know how much you love them this week. I can think of no better gratitude with which to start this season of Thanksgiving. I love you all and hope you have the best week ever! - Elder Horsley 1) Service with the District 2) I found a snake haha

NOVEMBER IS WARM HERE

Hey you guys! So apparently I say I will get better at emails and then I turns out I only save 10 minutes to write these emails. Sorry about it. This week is going to be a short email, but this week was pretty great! I'll just hit the highlights! - We have had some awesome member meals this week, which has been great! We got fed by the Gonzalez family on Sunday which was so good! They don't speak English though, so that was quite the experience. I said lo siento a lot. - IT'S NOVEMBER AND 78 DEGREES! I'm loving it. I'm missing the snow, but I'm loving the sun. Since I can't ski, I think I prefer the sun right now. - We found a bunch of new people we're really excited about this week. We're hoping that they keep progressing! We have a ton of meetings set up for this next week, so we're crossing our fingers that they don't fall through. - Our friend Klaus came to church! He wore a Bane mask, so I could understand about 0% of the words he said...

I Knocked My Tooth Out

Hey everyone! The title is completely factual. I was biking down a road pretty fast (because there is no reason to go slow on the Lord's errand) and I was thinking pretty deeply about a lesson we had that night. Next thing I know I was on the ground and missing a tooth. I got thwacked by a pole that had a box hanging of it in the middle of the sidewalk. Said pole had its metal box suspended directly at the head level of Elder Horsley. I'm all good though! I have some bruises, but it doesn't really hurt or anything. It just looks funny. It was absolutely epic. Then a guy ran across the street to "heal" me. He had a skull mask on and it was incredible. I'm all good now! There is no residual damage. Now for other highlights of the week! - Jeffrey is on date! We're so excited for him! He will be baptized at the end of May, so that's super exciting. - Freeman and Cornelius were both super stoked that the Law of Chastity was a thing, so that's always goo...

Тиждень Вісім - Week Eight

Image
Hey Everyone! It literally feels like it has been one day since I sent out an email, except it has been a week and now I'm sitting here at my desk typing on a computer and wondering what on Earth actually happened during the last seven days. I know a ton of stuff happened, but now everything in the MTC is blurring together and I don't actually know what was this week or last week or next week or anything haha. All I know is that my time in the MTC is almost done! Next week is my last week that I will spend in the MTC, which is just insane to me! At the end of next week, I will have been a missionary for TWO ENTIRE MONTHS, which does not feel real. I'm so happy for my 9 weeks in the MTC, because they have been awesome. Honestly, at first I was really worried about it and I thought spending two months in the MTC was going to be pretty brutal, but I wouldn't trade this time for the world. I have loved getting to know both of my companions, Elder Hasson and Elder Key, and I...
