GOING FOR 4

Hey everyone! Elder Ames and I had some crazy news during transfer announcements yesterday in that there was no news! We're both staying here in North Garland 3rd! We were both completely surprised, because we both for sure thought that I was going to be leaving. But I'm excited to be staying! After this transfer, I will have spent 24 weeks in this ward. I love all the members here, and I love everyone we're teaching too. I hope we can keep working hard and seeing success during these next 6 weeks! For other news this week, we don't really have that much. A lot of stuff fell through, which is always dissapointing. However, we still did get a lot of good contacts in, which is always fun. Hopefully it starts warming up so that we can talk to some more people outside! We did get to meet a super cool new friend this week named Alhaji, and I'm super excited about him. And if you remember our friend Denise who was not super excited we invited her to church a few weeks ago, we saw her last night and she said she's coming to church this next week without us even asking! IT WAS LEGENDARY! We did see a ton of miracles this week, which we always need. It's amazing to see how much God is watching out for us each and every day. I love Him so much. And it's so cool to feel His love for His children as we go about teaching them. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that God loves us. I say it every week but it's so true, and when we live worthy to have His Spirit with us we have the wonderful privilege to feel His Spirit work in us and testify of His love. I'm so grateful for the Holy Ghost. It's amazing to see the things God trusts us with as imperfect human beings. He trusts us to serve missions, to raise children, to listen to Him, and that is just crazy. God trusts us, and even if we don't believe in Him, He will always believe in us. How incredible is that? Here's my favorite scripture I read this week = 22 And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is the love of God, which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men; wherefore, it is the most desirable above all things. 23 And he spake unto me, saying: Yea, and the most joyous to the soul. - 1 Nephi 11:22-23 The love of God is the greatest thing in the world and is the most JOYOUS thing to our souls! And it doesn't go away! We are the ones who determine how much of that love we feel, because it's up to us to let Him in. Let that love into your life, and it will change you for the best! I love you all so much, and I hope you have an amazing week! I'm so grateful for each of you, and thank you so much for all of your prayers. They help so much, and I want you to know that I love and miss you so much! I have the best family and friends in the world, that's for sure. Until next week! - Elder Horsley 1) BIKES 2) Wendy's w/ Muhammad 3) Klaus with the pose he calls "black Spock"

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...
