Elder Calder Horsley

Hola, Que tal? Not sure if that was right. But it'll have to do. First and foremost, shout out to the Texas Dallas West gang. I've been missing y'all recently haha. Everyone who is going on a mission please pray that you will go to the Texas Dallas West Mission or Ukraine Kyiv/Moldova Mission. Or wherever the Lord needs you. That'd probably be better honestly. Thank you to everyone who sent some birthday love my way this week! I really appreciated all the messages I got, they made my week! I love and miss y'all! In other news, Elder Crane continues to be an absolute stud. I do indeed love that man. God continues to bless me with wonderful sons (trainees). The work progresses here in Ukraine! Олег and Василь are having their baptisms super soon, and I cannot wait! We have to change the date for both due to logistical issues, but at long last it's all coming together. I cannot wait! Please send up some extra prayers for the Lviv branch this week! Haha, t...

Добрий день, To follow up on my last email, I have obtained yet another son. He is an absolute beast. His name is Elder Crane. I love him already. We also had a serious Rollercoaster of a week in regards to transfers. At first, it seemed that Elder Orlov would stay in Lviv. Then it seemed that he would go to Moldova. Then it seemed like he would stay. Then it seemed like he would go to Moldova. Then it seemed like it would stay. And as of today, we have found out that he is officially going to Moldova. So that's that. I'll let you know next week if he's going to go or not. All our friends are doing awesome, which is awesome, and it makes me feel awesome too. We also had a fun pday today because our district leader is in Lviv for exchanges with us tomorrow and I love him. His name is Старійшина Шнырёв, because he is from some random part of Ukraine. So he is a fun guy and I enjoy his presence and now we are friends which is cool. ALSO! We went to Дрогобич and saw ou...

Oh yeah I'm back And once again I shall be having a child (training a new missionary) Shout out to my firstborn Elder Gregerson you're a homie We found out our transfer news today, and I will be staying in Lviv, but now Elder Orlov and I will be split up both to train. We will remain the Zl's, so that will be fun (exchanges let's gooooo), and I will be getting a new missionary to train Friday. I'm so stoked! Training the first time was one of my favorite parts of my mission, and I'm super excited to do it again. We also found that out that we are going back to normal, which means NO MORE COVID RESTRICTIONS! That is a tender mercy. Church is just so much better in person. And also I like to street contact. Call me crazy, but it's hype. Also, the buzzed head experiment is going well. My Grandma Susan told me I look handsome so that means the hair is staying the way it is because it's her vote yes plus my vote yes, which automatically trumps anyone wh...

Hey everyone! I LOVE YOU ALL! AND SO DOES JESUS! We have had a wonderful week out here in the promised land. - It was our first week with our new branch president (Elder Orlov was the previous branch president), and he did and AWESOME JOB! Missionaries have been the branch president here for a long time now, and we finally have a member as president, Президент Роть. He's the man, and our first sacrament meeting with him as president was so spiritual. We got to sing, which was the first time I'd done that in sacrament meeting since I was in Dallas! It felt like a movie with a perfect ending haha. - We had exchanges this week, and we got to have two absolute beast mode missionaries with us over here in Lviv. Elder Fetzer came with me, and Elder McKnight went with Elder Orlov. It was a great exchange! I would rate both of those guys a solid 10 out of 9. They're super funny and we had a great time working with them. - Микола just up and decided that he was going to live the wo...
