З Різдвом! -- (Merry Christmas!)

Hey everyone! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! I know I did. Even though it was really different being on the mission, it was one of my favorites ever. I was playing some Christmas hymns on the piano on Christmas Eve and all of the sudden I was playing Silent Night and I felt like I was getting the biggest hug. Obviously no one was actually physically hugging me, but I'm 100% sure that spiritual hugs are a thing and that one came from Christ. It was one of my favorite experiences of the mission so far. Christmas day was super special too! Thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone who sent me gifts! You guys are the best! I have the very best friends and family in the whole world. I don't know how I got blessed to know so many cool people, but my friends and family list is literally stacked. The rest of the week outside of Christmas was super awesome too. We taught some awesome lessons and we found some really cool new people who we're really excited about. We also found two people who we're pretty sure are Jehovah's Witnesses, which is pretty funny. They said we could come back over this Wednesday, which we're excited about. They were really nice! We hope it goes well. My new companion is super cool too! I didn't have a lot of time to talk about him in my email last week, but he's awesome. He's kind of awkward, but he's really funny once you get to know him. We've had a really good time these last two weeks, and this transfer is already flying by. We're like a third of the way through, which is psychotic! Time flies out on the mission. I just hit five months last week, so yeah time seems super short out here. I hope you all had an awesome Christmas, and once again, thank you for all your support, gifts, and prayers. I hope you all have an awesome new year! Don't forget to set goals, because God always wants us to be progressing. That's what this life is for! I love you all so much! Have the best week ever! - Elder Horsley

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...
