Україна -- (Ukraine)

Hey everyone! Well, my first full week in Ukraine has been completed. It was a super good one! We've seen a ton of miracles, and I absolutely love this place. Plus, having a native companion really helps me with learning the language. He's also fluent in English, so I can ask literally any question I want when I don't understand. It's kind of the best. Now for the highlights! - We got a referall for this guy named Костантин from some Elders in the neighboring mission. He's awesome! He's wanting to be baptized, and he's so ready. We're hoping to help him pick a baptismal date this next week. - Some random guy called us out of the blue and we got to set up a lesson with him! His name is Ігор, and he's the actual man. He's super nice, and he thinks the Book of Mormon and Gift of the Holy Ghost are super cool. Love that guy! - Our friend Оксана is praying about a baptismal date after our last lesson with her. She's awesome! - Pretty much Lviv is the pretty city ever and if you don't believe me you can look it up for yourself. - The gift of tongues is real. I'm very grateful for that, because I need it. - THE ENTIRE ZONE IS IN TOWN FOR ZONE CONFERENCE SO WE'VE BEEN BALLING OUT!!! I love you all so much! I hope you have the absolute greatest week ever. Don't ever forget about Christ, because He doesn't ever forget about you. He wants to help you! Draw near unto Him, and He will draw near unto you. I promise. Я просто працюю тут, - Старійшина Хорслі

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...
