Maggie thinks I'm handsome

Hello everyone! This email is going to be short because I have included most of what I did this week on these google photos in the videos (photos will be included too): https://photos.app.goo.gl/HAwQVkogjG8py5Ha7 Anyways this week was super funny. We had a lesson last night with our recent convert named Samantha. She told us about dating life in the single adult ward, and sadly apparently you go back to about the same maturity of dating in your 40's as you are when you are in middle school. It hurt me to hear about it, and I was just trying not to laugh the whole time. It was a solid lesson though. Also this week I went on exchanges and was actually able to go to a gym! It was so awesome. Elder Liu's a champ for that one. We also found 2 new people this week! Now I know that this doesn't sound awesome, but that is wonderful for this mandarin branch. So I am super super stoked about that. All our friends are doing so awesome right now! We have our friends Maggie, LuTing, and Helen. Maggie (A 45 year old asian woman) told me that I was very handsome the first time she met me. I'm going to have to start watching my ego with these older Chinese women, they're making me feel so good. We have been passing out SO many english class flyers and so many people are signing up. So that has been awesome to see our main finding taking off so well. I am also in a trio now! I don't know if I said that last week, but ya that has been sick. I'm with Elder Spencer who is probably the best missionary I have ever met, and Elder Labrum who is new here in the mission. I have been mostly out of food for a while, but that's ok i've just been eating straight carbs. Anyways this week I finished the Book of Mormon and it has been awesome. I want to challenge everyone to read the Book of Mormon and pray to know the truth of it! It really has power to it and it is such an amazing book. 2 Nephi 2:6-8 is also wonderful so I would challenge everyone to read that. I love you all and hope you have a great week! - Elder Horsley

I'm 胖 (pàng), white, tall, in Canada, speaking Chinese, and looking like a kiwi.

Just to start off the direct translation of 胖 means fat in Chinese, but it's a word used to describe anyone who is not skinny, so I am now 胖. I GOT MY TRAVEL PLANS! So anyways I fly to Canada on Thursday morning at 4:07 AM by myself, and I'm so excited. I have loved the MTC though. The people I met here have been awesome, and the amount of stuff I learned here about the gospel and Chinese has been awesome. The MTC will always have awesome memories associated with it in my mind. Also I will miss Elder Palmer a lot. He is such a cool dude, and my next companion is going to have a lot to live up too. This week me and some people in the district decided we were going to do push-ups for every word we miss out of our goal for the week. We've been doing 150 words per week with the tones and if we don't get them right, that's three pushups. Anyways I did 102 pushups on Tuesday, but this week I will do none. My mom sent me a package with Salsa and Cherries in it. It was...

Provo MTC Week 1

Hey everyone this is my first week in the MTC and it's been good so far! I love my district and my companions so it has been super good to see these guys in person. Monday and Tuesday: These days were pretty fun because they were my last 2 days in the home MTC, and they were P-day and a travel day so I got to do a ton of fun stuff with my family before I left. I went golfing with my dad and Calder and we all played pretty bad but it was still super fun. We also went to Maize tacos with some uncles and cousin-uncles for the last time to say goodbye, and that was sad, but it was great to be with everyone who came. Wednesday: Showed up to the MTC and got dropped off which was pretty brutal. It was super sad to say goodbye to everyone. I got to meet my district and branch though and they are all super fun. There is a samoan dude from Australia named Elder Hunt in my branch who is hilarious and makes all of us laugh all the time. Thursday and Friday: Pretty much just went t...

Hey everyone! This week has probably been my best week in the MTC so far. I feel like I'm really settling into things and starting to learn Mandarin so that's good. I've also been getting super tan from being outside so much so that's been way good. - We have an elder in our district named Elder Godfrey who is super funny. Everyone either calls him Godfrey, Dogfrey, or Rigby (he's from Rigby Idaho). He keeps dropping the most hilarious comments out of nowhere and it's making my day. For example were just talking one night before going to bed and there was a moment where no one talked for a good 2 minutes, and he just chimes right in and says "You know guys sometimes we do the right thing for the wrong reason" he then proceeded to talk about how he just loved to fight people but he doesn't do it in a noble manner most of the time. - We helped escort all of the new elders into the MTC this week and it was such a good time. We have an elder in our d...
