Великі Новини! -- (Big news!)

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 who says no. We also had some fun exchanges this week with the Elder over in the city of Rivne! They are some absolute ANIMALS out there. I got to spend some time with Elder Ruggles, and man he is a beast mode missionary. I also got to see Elder Hasson again, and he is still as beast mode as ever. I love that guy! It was overall a 10/9 week. We had a huge ward barbeque and our friend Олег was there with us, which was awesome. He also brought his wife who is super cool. I also saw the biggest watermelon of my life. Miracles happen at barbeques in Ukraine. Василь is getting really excited for his baptism. We are going out to his town tomorrow to officially meet him in person. The rest of our friends are doing great as well. I love Ukraine! This place is incredible, and I'm so grateful for the Lord's trust in me in allowing me to serve here. There is nowhere else I'd rather be right now. I found this scripture in the Old Testament this week! I hope y'all like it: Ezekiel 34:11-12 (11) For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. (12) As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. YOU are His sheep. He is searching for YOU! Jesus is there to pull you out of the dark into the light. I promise. He does it for me all of the time, and it always works. Let Him into your life, and He will help you have more joy than you have ever before experienced. I know that to be true. His church is on the earth today! You can read the Book of Mormon for yourself in order to know! I invite you all to do so, and then to ask your Father in Heaven if it's true. He will answer, because He loves you. I love y'all so much! I hope you have the best week ever, and remember that BYU did in fact beat Utah this year. (It's about time too, we really needed that one.) - Старійшина Хорслі A lot of pictures this week

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

Image
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...
