Elder Henry Horsley

Howdy all of my loved ones, I love you. I'm slamming a dang bowl of veggies as I'm writing this so hopefully my tone isn't just one of pure misery. But in all reality my time here in Sachse with Elder Nelson has been just beyond delectable so far, I am just loving my mission, and I feel just beyond blessed! "And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good. The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?" All week long I have felt like I need to include those scriptures in my email, so whoever needed ...

Glory glory hallelujah, life is wonderous right now. I am loving my new area and my new companion and the Lord is blessing us beyond anything I could've hoped for! If you're a missionary who has served around me you know that frankly there is nothing in this whole world I love more than knocking apartment complexes. And my heavens, we have been knocking multitudes of apartments and meeting just incredible people and it makes me so happy almost to the point of exaltation. In the Chinese area we didn't really get to knock a whole ton, so this new change in lifestyle has made me feel like Ebineezer Scrooge in the Christmas Carol post third vision, I am refreshed and hyped about the Lord's work! The reason I share with you my passion of knocking apartment complexes is to give some context for the spiritual thought today. It was Friday when we were knocking my favorite apartment complex in our area and I was having the time of my life cause we were seeing tons of success. ...

Oh my, there's just no way... my new companion is ELDER NELSON. I know that means nothing to like 95% of you, but Elder Nelson is just the most delightsome man to ever come from the country of Canada, or if I am being frank with ya, the entire northern hemisphere. So ya I'm pretty hyped, we are gonna be serving in Richardson so I am super hyped! I love Elder Nelson with every fiber of my soul, but hearing that he was my new companion wasn't even the best part of the week, the best part of my week is named CHU YANG. All of the real ones on this email list know the name Chu Yang, he was the first person I was able to baptize on my mission and he is my best friend, I love him so much. Chu Yang hit his one year of being baptized and he decided to go do his own endowment! Chu Yang asked me to be his escort and that was one of the sweetest experiences of my entire mission. He pulled up to the temple and Chu Yang was just GLOWING. We went back and he did his initiatory and I was ...

Howdy everyone! I love you and I hope you are doing wonderfully! My companion Elder Carson said "I don't think I've ever met someone who likes conference more than you Elder Horsley" Sorry father, you're no longer the conference fiend of the household. Speaking of conference, good heavens, I loved it so much. Oh my, it was so good my gosh, maybe I've been out too long or something, cause judassss this one was THOROUGHLY enjoyed by me. I had so many favorite talks from it, but my most favorite was the one by Elder Soares. His final line literally shook my soul he said: "What works for Thee, works for me." Hearing that felt like back in the day watching 8 Mile for the first time. My soul just quaked. It is literally so true oh my gosh. I had an extremely hard thing I had to do this week for another person that I cannot write about. It would've been probably easier to just avoid the situation but I never even thought of that, as soon as I heard a...
