Uber Всюди -- (Uber Everywhere)

Hey everyone! I have officially taken more than 50 Uber rides while I've been in Ukraine. I am a gephardt approved Uber master. I hope y'all had a wonderful week! Mine was pretty stellar! I went to another country with my mission president, so that was sweet. We had a zone conference in Moldova (which is a part of our mission), so we drove down there in our mission president's car with him, his wife, and his son Nick. It was quite the ride. He's Australian, and when I asked him what was weird about Americans he said the words "sauce" and "horse" are supposed to rhyme in the English language. This man is just adding R's wherever he wants. Moldova was pretty cool too. Shout out to Kim who served there! The zone conference went well, and it was super fun to be with the other missionaries who I never get to see (because they literally live in another country). I also met Elder Jeffrey Olmo who rode on the CCHS mountain biking team the year I was a captain. I did not know him before last week. Oops. As you can see, I was a bad captain 😂. Our friends are doing well too! Влад (Vlad) is making lots of changes in his life in order to progress towards baptism, Оксана (Oksana) is trying to figure out when her brother will be in Ukraine so he can baptize her, Тетяна (Tetiana) is loving the gospel, and all of our other friends are doing wonderful! I love them! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to serve in Ukraine. I love this place, and I love speaking Ukrainian. It's such an amazing thing to serve a mission. I am learning so much every day, but most importantly, I'm learning that God is at the helm. He does what is best for us ALWAYS! He doesn't need me to be a missionary (to be honest he could just do all the missionary work on His own), but he loves me so He let's me take part. He's really good like that. And I makes me really happy. Have an awesome 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

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...
