GOOD MORNING DAVID

Hey everyone! We had another great week this week! It was kind of weird because a lot of appointments fell through, but hopefully we can reestablish contact with our friends this next week. Please be praying for them! And please be praying for them to come to church! They have a hard time with that one, which makes Elder Horsley pull his hair out and pray so much because he just wants to help these people get into the celestial kingdom but they're like "actually nah". But it's OK! I have faith in all of them, and we're going to keep working with them to get them to make and keep commitments! But we'll get into the highlights of the week! - Apparently I'm a good target when it comes to random high schoolers asking for my phone number, considering it happened a couple of times this week. Always really awkward when I tell them I don't actually go to a private school and I'm dressed nice because I'm a missionary for my church. For some reason it always scares them off. - We taught Kim and Rodney the restoration this week and they loved it! It was incredible. The Spirit was so strong, and we hope we can get them coming to church and ask them about baptism in these coming weeks! I love those two! - We got free knives from some random guy in the park after I told him his jacket was cool. He had us come to his white van and get them. Maybe a risky play, but it worked out. - We went to an inactive recent convert's house on Sunday at like 8:30 AM, knocked on his door, and he walks out and says "I just woke up give me two minutes". He hauled to get ready and he grabbed his bike and we ran outside and hauled to church. Didn't even brush his teeth (#beastmode). We barely made it in time but we got there right as the meeting was starting! It was the first time we were able to get him to come to church in all of my time here, and we've been inviting him pretty much every single week. Now we're just going to go get him every Sunday. His name is David, hence the email title. I've been reading in the Bible a lot recently, and I did a Bible study this last Sunday, all about service. I read a lot about Jesus Christ and how He helps people and performs miracles. In every single one of the records of His miracles, they report that He performed the miracle "immediately" or that the recipient was blessed "immediately" after they asked for help and Jesus gave it. Jesus will always help us IMMEDIATELY! He knows what we're going through, and He's there to help us! He will never change, and He has always helped immediately, so He will help you just the same as He helped everyone in the New Testament. Ask for His help! He always wants to give it to you. I love you all so much! I hope you have an absolutely amazing week this week, because you all deserve it. Thank you for all your love, support, and prayers. I love you guys! Keep being amazing, and don't forget that GOD LOVES You! - 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...
