Elder Calder Horsley

Hey everyone! Sorry, I don't have a ton of time today. I'm gonna keep this short and sweet! I'll just hit the highlights! - I made it to Ukraine! I'm currently serving in Lviv, which is actually the prettiest place ever. Why is Europe actually the coolest? - My companion is a native named Старійшина Орлов. He's the branch president where we are serving, so I'm pretty much the assistant to the regional manager. - Ukrainian is cRaZy haha. All my brain cells are constantly working trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I'm so happy to be here and to be serving the Lord. Jesus is the best, and I invite you all to come to know Him! Read the Book of Mormon and the Bible, and find out the role He plays in your own life. As you come to know Him, you will also come to know just how much He knows you. I LOVE Y'ALL!!! - Старійшина Хорслі

Hey everyone! Well, this was my last full week here in Texas. It's super sad to be leaving, but I know the Lord has a work for me to do in Ukraine. I can't wait to get there! It's bittersweet to leave, but I'll be back to Texas soon enough. I'm just happy that I get to have two missions! Weekly Highlights = - Our friends Tara, Taofiki, Elizabeth, and Freeman all accepted our baptismal invitation! It will be sad to miss their baptisms, along with all the other people we're teaching, but I know they will be in good hands with Elder Gregerson and Elder Hodges. - We had zone conference and that is always fun. It was super fun to see my old companion Elder Ames and talk to a bunch of mission friends. - Lincoln is going to get the priesthood next week! He's such a stud! - Found out I'm going to have around 16 hours of travel to get to Ukraine (that's including layovers). It's going to be cRaZy! - We celebrated Father's day with our friend James. H...

Hey everyone! I hope you an awesome week! I know that we did out here in North Dallas. I'll jump into the highlights! - We had transfers this last week, and I'm staying here in my current area until I go to Ukraine! I'm so happy about it! This officially makes me the longest missionary to ever serve in this ward (as far as we know). - We got someone added to our companionship, so now we're in a trio! It's me, Elder Gregerson, and Elder Hodges! I love both of those guys, and this last week has been the most fun week of my whole mission by far. - We were in a lesson with Lincoln this week, and when we walked out someone's cat just ran into his apartment and hid under one of the couches. He was NOT happy about it 😂 he did a pretty good job of covering it up though. While we tried to cat wrangle he kept walking outside and telling random people "come get your cat". It was hilarious haha - Lincoln also got baptized! It was such an incredible experience! E...

Hey y'all! What a week it was. I'll just jump straight into the highlights, because we had a really good time! It was a great way to end the transfer. - Our bike lock code stopped working one day so we had to have our Elders Quorum president come help us steal our bikes back from the staircase we locked them up on. We spent 15 minutes with a hacksaw just going to town on that thing. Luckily we were in a pretty sketchy area so it looked normal. - Our new ward mission leader speaks French so we've been taking him to all of our French speaking friends' houses and he just balls out and teaches the whole lesson in French. He is an absolute legend. - Our friend James is literally already a member. He introduces his friends to us and tells them they need to get baptized by proper authority. He hasn't even been baptized yet, but he's so excited! - LINCOLN IS GETTING BAPTIZED THIS WEEK! LET'S GOOOO! - We just got transfer news, and both Elder Gregerson and I are sta...
