Elder Henry Horsley

Judas how is it week 60 my heavens. This mission thing has been fabulous if I do say so myself. I love you all and hope everything is wonderful in your life right now! So my dad Tony just called to be a bishop and to be frank with you I am not really surprised whatsoever. Like you can't just be that faithful and always willing to serve and that in shape and not be used as an instrument in the hands of the Lord. My amazing mom sent me a voice memo of the church meeting they were at and it was wonderful. My mom got up to speak and she was in tears as she said "I don't think there are many men in the world that have developed a shoulder injury from the amount of time they have spent by the side of their bed on their knees praying." It was pretty powerful, and then my dad got up and dropped the coldest first words he could muster as the new bishop, he said "I have a confession to make, when I am kneeling by my bed, it hurts my shoulder because sometimes I fall asle...

Howdy everyone hope y'all are loving your life wherever you are at, cause my heavens, I am loving life where I am at. Shoutout to brother Calder it is his birthday! Let me hit you with some characteristics of my brother: 1. He is beyond pleasant to be around 2. He was a dang good missionary 3. He is deviously handsome and quite sought after in Provo 4. His testimony is quite inspirational I love my brother Calder, and for my spiritual thought today I would like to take a deeper gander on point 4. I remember when Calder came home from his mission we went to the stake center to get him released from being a missionary. We got there and they just started asking him questions about his mission, they were throwing around a bunch of unfamiliar mission vocab so I wasn't quite following, but I remember vividly the last question he asked him, he said "Elder Horsley what does Jesus Christ mean to you?" I remember Calder just looked down and started to cry. I was lost on w...

Hello everyone! I hope y'all are doing wonderfully! I feel more wonderful than I have ever felt in my whole life. It's crazy, I literally wake up everyday and do my morning stuff, then I leave the apartment at 10 AM, and it feels like about an hour of pure joy passes, then boom it's like 9:35 PM and I am rolling on my floor complaining that I have to journal. I love being a missionary so much. This week I have been like hyper focused on my new favorite scriptures that have left me riveted. Pretty much the context is Jesus explains to a huge group that if you want to be saved, you have to eat of His flesh and drink of His blood. That left quite of a few of his disciples appalled and it says: "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him." I can imagine many devoted disciples hearing about that and being like "good heavens, I believe in this man, I have seen him do miracles, but this is just too weird for me." "Then ...

What is up everyone?! Shoutout Lance he got engaged, I'm gonna have a sister in law that's neat. Anyways, how is everyone doing?! I hope y'all had a good week, I love and miss you! If u know me you know I have a problem: gambling addiction. Just kidding, my problem is that when I see something I like I get way over excited and I'm like "that was literally my favorite (movie, song, vacation, TV show, ect.) I've ever experienced." And usually it's just me exaggerating but like I am fr about this one. I have come across the greatest Christian song I have ever heard. It is called "my promise land" by Josiah Queen, everyone must listen to it, please I am begging you. There is a line in the song that slaps everytime I hear it, it says "And if that means that I leave all of my things, then I will go with you" I think Josiah Queen in this song realizes something important that took me a long time to realize. It is that there is nothi...

Judas this week was so fast. This mission thing is going by concerningly fast. Anyways, how is everyone doing?! I love and I miss you and I hope you know that! I love the story in the Bible with the woman caught in adultery. She gets caught and everyone is like "let's stone her" and they ask Jesus what he thinks about that idea. He tells them that any of them who are without sin should go ahead and cast the first stone, and all of them were "convicted by their own conscience" and left. I imagine this woman crying as she watches all of them drop their stones and leave, but I imagine her worried when Jesus is still there. She probably thought that this was going to be a solo stoning or something, after all He was without sin and had the ability to cast the first stone. Jesus asks her "Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?" Then my favorite part of this story is when He says "Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no mor...
