Літо -- (Summer)

The sun is out and the heat is on, summer is here in Germany and it is epic. This last winter was pretty gray, so I'm loving the nice weather we've been having. This week was another awesome one! Some highlights were meeting with our beast mode friends like Alicia & Reiner (Reiner is 62, not a member, and telling Alicia on the second lesson that she should probably get baptized into the church haha), having a bunch of new people come to church, and volunteering at this mega Ukrainian kids festival at a nightclub here in Frankfurt. I will attach pictures. So our mission president called me about 2 weeks ago to ask me to be a translator at this party. President Hammon knows the guy who put it all together, and he volunteered the missionaries who served in Ukraine for it. So I rolled up for the second shift in the day, and I was the only translator there. Translating consisted of yelling at people that they needed to dance more and introducing all the acts for the kids. When I wasn't translating, my job was to "make sure everyone is dancing". That is a direct quote haha. I had an awesome time, and it was definitely something not everyone experiences on their mission. Elder Berndt brought his camera, so he got lots of good photos. I'm so grateful to be serving a mission! It does have some downs sometimes, but it has so many ups that it's almost unbelievable. I love having the opportunity to serve in this capacity, and to talk with people every day about Jesus Christ. He's the best, and I know He is our Savior. I love you all so much! - Elder Horsley

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...
