Elder Calder Horsley

What a crazy week this was. I was on a train all day today, so I don't have a ton of time. But I love y'all! I spent a lot of time in Ужгород this week so that another Elder could go through the temple, and it was great! I will just photo dump right now haha, I love you all! I hope y'all have the best week ever! Love -Старійшина Хорслі

HEYO! I hope y'all are doing incredible! I love y'all so much! I don't have a ton of time, so I'll just hit you with the highlights: - Олег is a beast and I love him so much. He is so solid and I am so excited for his baptism. - Файрад is also a beast and I love him so much as well. He is working so hard to apply the Atonement of Jesus Christ in his own life, and he is seeing miracles. - Микола is new and he also translates for Netflix and he loves coming for church. He was 30 minutes early. I love him and he is a beast also as well. - Коля has bronchitis, which is the worst, so please pray for him. He also loves Jesus and reading the Book of Mormon, which is incredible. As well, he thoroughly enjoys coming to church. He, as you may have guessed by now, is a beast. - So pretty much everyone and their dog is a beast in this country - Also we got transfer news and I am no longer with Elder Fetzer, which was a sad goodbye. I love that man, and he is going to absolute...

Добрий день, HELLO! It was a wonderful week out here in not Russia. Ukraine is actually such a pretty place it's insane. The city I'm in is absolutely amazing, and it's so pretty too. I love being here! There is actually nowhere on earth I'd rather be right now, and nothing I'd rather be doing. BEING A MISSIONARY IS THE BEST! Highlights = - Our boy Олег is so prepared for baptism. I absolutely love that man, and I'm really looking forward to his baptism in a couple of weeks. - Файрад accepted a baptismal invitation! I'm so grateful to be a part of his journey and being able to see him grow his relationship with our Father in Heaven. Please pray for him as he prepares to make this covenant! THANK YOU! - I went on an exchange with Elder Gjoligu this week, and it was hype. Thank you for telling everything that happened in the NBA playoffs Elder Gjoligu. You are a real one. - We've been teaching this guy named Коля, and he is just awesome. He lives in a ci...

Hey everyone! It's been a great week! We saw a lot of miracles. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY ITS THE BEST! If you're thinking about being a missionary, do it. I would 10/9 recommend. And then get called to the Kyiv Ukraine/Moldova mission because we literally have like 50 missionaries. That would be absolutely hype. - Our friend Олег is an absolute ANIMAL and he's is actually so prepared to let God prevail it's not even funny. We taught him the word of wisdom this week and he was like "that sounds awesome I'm going to start doing all of that right now". I love that guy to death. - Also taught Файрад the word of wisdom, and that man is a stud. He's praying to know of the truth of it right now, so please keep him in your prayers. He's such a beast, and I know he's sincere. He will get his answer! - Some guy yelled "Joseph Smith" at me from across the road, and when I turned around to see who was yelling at me, there was this man with hi...

Hey everyone! Once again, I have survived yet another week in Ukraine. Once again, it has been a wonderful week. I love this place! Honestly, I would 10/9 recommend visiting. It's not a communist wasteland, despite what a percentage of the American population believes. It's actually the prettiest place, and everyone is always so nice and patient even though my language skills aren't quite on the "fluent" level. IT'S THE BEST! Highlights = - We are running on three week transfer cycles here, so we just had transfers happen, so now I am officially with only Elder Fetzer. We lost Elder Orlov from our companionship, but he's still in Lviv so we get to see him fairly often. It's been super fun with Elder Fetzer! He's a stud of a missionary, and we've been getting good work done! - Our friend Олег accepted our baptismal invitation! He's such a stud, and he's so prepared. He's on date for the end of this month, so please keep him in your ...

Hey everyone! I don't have a ton of time to write this, so I'm just gonna tell you about all the best stuff that happened this week haha! - WE FOUND THIS GUY NAMED ОЛЕГ AND HE'S AN ACTUAL ANGEL AND PROGRESSING SO WELL! - We're running on three week transfers and we just had another one. I will stay in Lviv with my American companion, Elder Fetzer. Our Ukrainian companion, Elder Orlov, is also staying in Lviv, but he's getting a new companion. It will be a super fun transfer! - I guess I can speak Ukrainian better than when I got here. That's definitely a good thing. - JESUS LOVES YOU AND THAT'S ACTUALLY THE BEST THING EVER! - Старійшина Хорслі 1. We missed our train on pday when going to an exchange (oops) 2. We found all these movies in the church in a box labled "For Missionaries" 😬 What a crazy place

Hey everyone! It has been another great week over on this side of the pond. We got a new addition to our companionship this week! His Nme is Elder Fetzer, and he's an absolute beast. Right now, I'm serving in a trio with Elder Orlov (from Ukraine) and Elder Fetzer (from Wisconsin). It's quite the eclectic mix if I do say so myself. It's super fun too! We get good work done, and they are both super helpful with the language. Plus they're super fun. So it all works out. Highlights = - Update: the crab chips are actually not bad - I've never taken so many trains in my entire life. - We have a bench press in our apartment along with a curl bar and a bunch of weights. The transfer goal is to get huge. We will see how that goes. - We have a member in our ward named Брат Яровий and he's probably the funniest guy I've ever met. He loves Elder Fetzer and figured out that his major is applied mathematics, so he always calls him математик. - Our friends Наталія a...
