До побачення Старійшина Орлов -- (Goodbye Elder Orlov)

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 our man Василь, and he is so awesome. He's been reading the Book Saints, which is so cool. He loves the gospel and Jesus Christ, and we are so excited for his upcoming baptism. Олег is also getting baptized soon as well! He is such a stud, and he has received his own witness from the Holy Ghost that he needs to be baptized, which is AWESOME! Ukraine is just the best, and I love the people and the language and the city. There is nowhere I'd rather be. Thank y'all for still reading these emails! I love y'all so much, and DON'T YOU DARE FORGET HOW MUCH JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU! He gave us the Bible and Book of Mormon so that we could figure that out for ourselves, so please, go read them! I promise you will feel the Holy Ghost, and He gives us some of the greatest feelings ever. Have the best week ever! - 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

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...
