СНІГ 🥶 -- (SNOW )

Hey everyone! So it's 9 degrees over here right now. Pretty epic. Never thought I'd be experiencing weather like this in Texas of all places, this is like some Ukrainian spring type stuff. Pretty excited! It makes for good drifting weather when we're riding our bikes and the rode is paved with only snow. Becuase of the storm, we have been asked to stay inside as much as possible, which is so hard because it's perfect for contacting because everyone is home because of it. When we do have to go out, we make the most of it and stop by a bunch of the people we're teaching because they literally cannot avoid us. No one here has any idea how to drive in the snow, so everyone refuses to leave their house. It's a blessing and a half! It's so fun to bike in too. This week we had some amazing miracles! I only have time to talk about one though, but it was amazing! We were biking to go knock on the door of one of our friends, and rode past our friend Denise's street. As we were going by, I got the strongest prompting to turn down the street and look for her. So, we did just that, and we were able to catch her at the perfect time and have a lesson! We haven't been able to stop by and teach her in a while, so that was incredible. I also wanted to share a thought that one of our friends shared with us. She said that when she does the little things in life, like read her scriptures, pray, and go to church, the Holy Ghost is amplified 100x. It's so true! When we do those small things that may seem insignificant, our lives are changed! The simple things matter to God, and that's why he asks us to do them. We show Him we love Him, by keeping His Commandments, and when we do, he pours out more blessings than we can even handle, right on top of our heads. I invite you all to do the simple things! They will change your life! I love you all! Get in some good skiing and disco skating for me while I'm gone. And whenever any of you put some Pit Vipers on, I hope you think of me. Have the best week ever! And also go read 1 Samuel 16:7 that was my favorite scripture I read this week! - Elder Horsley 1-2) Biking in the snow 3) Pday laundry run

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...
