З Різдвом! -- (Merry Christmas!)

Hey everyone! In case you were wondering, Ukraine celebrates Christmas two times, once on the 25th of December and the next on the 6th of January. So it is still Christmas time over here. #powermove I hope you had a great week! We did too. I'm super bad at recapping, but here are all the highlights: - We had an epic ward Christmas party! We watched the Christ Child and played games and had a gift exchange. I would give it a solid 10/9 for sure. - I've eaten more food in this last week than I think I ever have on my mission (maybe in my life). Everyone just wants to give us stuff to eat, even when we aren't at their house. Sometimes we leave church with random treats in hand. Sometimes we leave with last minute lunch appointments. Overall, I'm not complaining. My love handles are coming in real nice. - Тетяна (Tetiana) came to church and she loved it! It was the first time she attended, and it was awesome to see her there! We are going to extend a baptismal invitation to her again this week! - Даша (Dasha) is reading the Book of Mormon with her husband! She said she isn't sure if God exists, so we invited her to read the Book of Mormon and find out for herself. Please keep her in your prayers! - Elder Horsley (Elder Horsley) is doing well. He is also reading the Book of Mormon a lot right now. He seems to like it, so that's pretty cool. He came to church too! It's about time that брудний відступник showed up smh Thank you for all of your prayers! I love you so much! Thank you for the letters and the messages. I know I don't respond to a lot of them (most of them) but I read every single one and they make my day! Y'all are the best. REMEMBER JESUS CHRIST! He always remembers you. Helaman 10:4 Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments. Shout out to everyone who's getting engaged and married what the heck when did all of this happen, - 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...
