"Come Get Your Cat"

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! Elder Gregerson baptized him, and it was so fun to be there. Lincoln was absolutely beaming afterward. Elder Hodges confirmed him on Sunday, and Lincoln was so excited. I love this ward! - There was also one time where Elder Gregerson and I went to pet a dog that was lying on its back and then it decided it was going to pee on us because it was so excited we were petting it. His name was chunk. #wehatechunk - We also had the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten on Sunday. It's called bitter kola, and our friend Abraham gave it to us to try. It was absolutely the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten. We all had a bit of it, and we all decided it was terrible. Never eat bitter kola. Well, each and every day I love Texas just a little bit more, and it is going to be so hard to leave Elder Gregerson and Elder Hodges, the Richardson Ward, everyone we are teaching, our district, our zone, President and Sister Farley, and literally just the Texas Dallas West mission in general. I love it so much! There is literally nowhere I would rather be. However, I take comfort in knowing that God knows me perfectly. He is aware of me, and also of everyone who He needs me to meet. I'm excited to go to Ukraine, and although there will be some super sad goodbyes, that just means that there will be some super hype reunions in the end. Isaiah 41:10 = Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Jesus Christ is there to help us, and He is there to help me. Everything is going to be perfect in the end, and I am so happy about that. I cannot wait to go to Ukraine! I love y'all so much! Have an awesome week, and remember that JESUS LOVES YOU! - Elder Horsley 1. Lincoln's baptism 2. Ferret 3. Stairs 4. Table 5. Right before Abraham gave us the bitter kola

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...
