I'm In

Hey everyone! This week was awesome! We had so much fun teaching and finding and riding bikes and finding out that it does indeed snow in Dallas Texas. This was one of the fastest weeks of my life! January is flying by. Honestly say that every week but I'm in a time warp haha. Here's the weekly info dump in condensed bullet point form because my time management is what we in the business call "not good". - We have a new friend named Jojo who is kind of a rough guy but he is so funny. He told me I looked like his friend named (and I quote) "Alec the Jew" and that's why he started talking to us in the first place. We love that guy. - It snowed on Sunday! I would've never guessed that that would happen. It was pretty legendary not going to lie. I've been missing the snow. - We got to talk to Klaus again yesterday because his self isolation is over, and it was one of our best meetings with him yet. It was incredible! The Spirit was so strong, and I said a prayer for him and when we opened our eyes he was crying. He told me we'd be friends to the end. Who would've thought that a skinny 19 year old white kid and a 70 year old black Vietnam vet would've been such good friends? Well, here we are. The Gospel builds bridges between us all. - We now have people who have offered to protect us. With violence. We love them. Our area isn't sketchy at all but somehow we find everyone who is super sketchy and it's awesome. I would enjoy spending some time in the hood at one point, to say the least. A quick miracle for you all: it was supposed to rain/snow all day Sunday, but we prayed so hard it wouldn't so that our friends could get to church and then GOD MADE IT SO IT DIDN'T SNOW UNTIL 12 PM WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A 100% CHANCE STARTING AT 8 AM! HE ANSWERS PRAYERS! I'm so happy for a Father in Heaven who hears my prayers and is always watching out for me. Don't forget to pray, becuase He always wants to hear from you! We've been away for a long time, and HE MISSES YOU! Let Him know you miss him too. I miss all you guys and I love you 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

Image
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...
