Elder Calder Horsley

Hey everyone! We got transfer news yesterday, and I'm staying in the Richardson ward for another transfer! I'm so excited! This will be my 6th transfer here, so I pretty much live in this ward now. It's crazy! I love the people here, and I love the ward too. I'm so grateful to be back for another! Highlights for the week: - Cornelius loves that tithing is a thing, so he's set to be baptized in a couple of weeks! We're so excited for him! - Freeman accepted the Word of Wisdom with no holdups. It was awesome! We love him, and we can't wait for his baptism. - I got one of my teeth fixed. One of them is still broken, but the other looks real nice. Shout out to Dr. Seim for being a legend. - Our friend Lincoln let us know he wants to be baptized! We're just trying to help him get to church with his crazy work schedule, but he's coming this Sunday. He's such a stud! - We got accepted into a gang and they prayed with us on the street like 5 times. The ...

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...

Hey everyone! I hope you had an amazing week! I know we did! I'll just jump right into the highlights: - We went over to our friend Freeman's house on Tuesday to set up a lesson, and he ended up inviting us in. We got talking to him, and he goes "what did you say people need to do to become a member of the church again?". We told him "you just need to be baptized and be given the gift of the Holy Ghost", and then he said "OK can we do that today?" LIKE WHAT!!! It was so cool! We told him we still had more to teach him, but that he could get baptized in May. He's stoked about it! Please keep him in your prayers! - We had an awesome lesson with our friend Cornelius on Sunday as well. He's a stud! We taught him the Plan of Salvation, and he was like "wow that was the clearest anyone has ever explained that to me. I really like the way you guys teach, it's very good. There are no holes." It made us feel so good! Then we talked abo...

Hey everyone! I hope you had an awesome Easter! I know I did. I absolutely love being a missionary, and it was so special to be a missionary on Easter. The chance to remember and focus on the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and having every else focus on it too, is an incredible experience. As a missionary I have the amazing priveledge to focus all my thoughts and efforts on studying, teaching, and using Christ's Atonement everyday. Don't ever underestimate the change Christ can make in your own life! The change He has made in mine is incredible, and I'm so grateful for the chance I have to spend two years of my life sharing the knowledge of Jesus Christ with everyone around me. It's already going by too fast, but I'm grateful for every moment I get! These last three weeks have been the fastest three weeks of my whole mission, and this last one was no exception. It's crazy how time flies! We had an awesome week, so I'll hit all the highlights: 1. Our friend Ebon...
