WEEK 90 - Shoulda Got The Fajitas

Hello family and friends! I hope you all had a great week! My week was better this week which was huge, thank you everyone for your prayers I love you! Genesis 1: 3-4 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness." I love that God saw the light and recognized that it was good. Everyone of us has felt the darkness that comes from not feeling like you're enough, or being lonely, or losing someone you love, and it is a miserable feeling. I believe we have all felt the light too. God could've left everything dark, but He intentionally added the light cause He knows it's good. I believe that God doesn't just ever leave someone in complete darkness. There are always flashes of light that are there to give us hope. Those flashes of light keep me going and I am so grateful for them. There is gonna be some SERIOUS natural lighting in my future home holy crap. Here is my week: - Hands down my biggest flash of light this week was going back to the Chinese branch for my friend Joanna's baptism! Me and Elder Cox found her 15 months ago so it is super cool that she got baptized. I felt so much love from those people it meant more to me than they will ever know. But heavens, the branch members have been MONITORING my physical health like a hawk. They were physically unable to speak to me without mentioning that I am "less fat" that I was. Don't be worried though they ASSURED me that when I come back they will bring me back to my glorified state of obesity. I love them so much - We've been doing some mall finding and if I am being frank with ya, it is arguably worse walking by Victoria's Secret as a missionary than with your Mom haha - A super awesome member took me and Elder Duersch to a Tex-Mex place and it slapped. We got guacamole for our started and I was mid guac bite when these words were spoken to me: "Elder Horsley aren't avacados the testicle fruit?" brutal thing to hear mid bite. I was inches away from getting the fajitas and last minute I changed my mind. Enormous blunder. I nearly passed away when I saw someone at the table next to me have their fajitas brought to them. It was an incredible meal though and I am so grateful for that member - We went out on an act of faith this week and went to find YSA in home depot (we also really just wanted to go to home depot). I am pleased to inform you that there were indeed YSA's in there - Our friend Daniel got baptized and it was awesome. He was so hyped about it that after his baptism he lowkey became a bit of a heckler during my gift of the Holy Ghost talk. All solid comments from him though. Daniel is awesome I really hope everyone is happy, you all absolutely deserve it. Have a great week! I love you and will see you soon. pics: 1. me 2. us at home depot 3.

WEEK 103 - I'm On Steroids

HOMECOMING: AUGUST 10 9AM @1272 Walden Ln, Draper, UT 84020 My HEAVENS I love you all! I hope you had just the most blessed week ever! I've literally never felt as many emotions as I do right now. I imagine that when Jesus died His apostles were overwhelmed with emotions just like I am. Jesus gave them a commission to go spread His light to all of the world. I bet they were grateful for the time they had with the Master, excited to go and do their best, and nervous for what is to come. I feel all of those right now. When Jesus left they didn't really know what to do, so they decided to "go a fishing." They caught nothing all night long. I bet they were feeling pretty down on themselves. In a short time they went from following the Savior of the world to unsuccessful fisherman. The thing that I think we all sometimes forget is that the Savior won't ever forsake us, He'll always come back, no matter our circumstance. As soon as Jesus came back to them, John k...

WEEK 5 - the puzzle fiend

Thank the glorious heavens above I love P - Day so much. I LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing from you guys and I LOVE writing my emails. My emails make me realize how weird and amazing this place is at the same time and I love it. But anyways let me tell you what happened this week. - I literally almost became spider-man last week. Yes Elder Andrewsen you heard that right. Spider Man. So basically there was this really weird thing on my arm last Monday and it was rapidly growing and making my mom super worried so we went to go to an urgent care. They then told me that I had a weird spider bite infection thing and a weird strain of the flu. So we were quarantined. The devil himself must really want me off the streets of texas, but it ain't gonna happen. - On our way to the urgent care it was a really silent car ride. And I hate awkward silence so much. We passed by a Hooters and I just kinda wanted to make conversation, so I told my companion Elder Campbell that I was going to take him there...

Merry Christmas family and friends I love you! And to you Elder Yee, I declare a firm Mele Kalikimaka! I hope yall get to do something you love this Christmas, so you can feel just like I do. When Jesus Christ called Peter to be His disciple, He said nothing of Peter's past or his flaws, all he said was "come follow me." If you are on this list you have likely noticed that I have quite a few flaws, I have done things I am not proud of, and I have messed up more times than I can count. Yet all I hear is "come follow me." That is all He wants of me and that is all He wants of you. Long ago when Christ was born, the new star was another sign of Him saying "come follow me." To the rich wise men, to the poor shepherds, to all who saw the night sky. All were invited to follow Him. Life isn't always the easiest, but I know following Him and doing my best to be good and to serve those around me has healed me and gets me through all of my sorrows. He spent...
