Я побачив сонце -- (I saw the sun)

Hello my wonderful friends and family, Today I saw the sun for the first time in three weeks. It was incredible. Needless to say, I will not need to take my Vitamin D pill today. I hope y'all had a wonderful week! It's been pretty crazy out here in Ukraine. I will send bullet points once again: - I went on an exchange where we had one Ukrainian, one Lithuanian, and one American. I was that American, in case you were wondering. - We found our friend Даша (Dasha). She wants to get baptized. Also she likes David Bowie. She's pretty cool. - I have now learned the difference between Australian and American football. They are, in fact, not the same game. - One of the members in our ward named брат Валерій (Brother Valeriy) brought us to his apartment so that we could Preach in the public kitchen. Then someone proceeded to Bible bash us. It was incredible and quite honestly iconic. - The new Spiderman came out. Haven't seen it yet, but I've heard it's good. That's always a win. - We're working hard to focus on Jesus Christ this Christmas season and we are expecting miracles as we do so. I love you all so much! Don't forget it! And don't forget that Christmas really is just an incredible time to ponder on what Jesus Christ has done for you. Think about it. It's much more than you know or realize. I promise you that. Please enjoy the Princess Mononoke sign I found at the theater this week, - 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...
