Ola!!

For some reason Alex didn't get my letter this week :(...  I don't know why it makes me so sad, but it does!!  I feel like I missed a phone call or he wasn't home when I stopped by or something!!  He knew I had written a letter because I sent some pictures in a different email and included a little part about something I forgot to put in the original email.  So he sent the same email to both his Dad & I and then sent me an email that said he didn't get my letter but he did get my pics.  Hopefully it's a fluke thing!!!  And no pictures this week still :(  He still doesn't have the USB cord to his camera.  Maybe next week ;)  ...He's such an AWESOME missionary!  LOVE HIM!


Hola Mi Familia!

So there has been a whole lot that has been going on this week. We first off had many miracles!! Especially Saturday and Sunday. Our investigator Martin finally came to church!! After we asked him about 3 times he finally decided to come. I love Martin, he has such a good heart. We are still trying to help him quit smoking. He really wants to quit but he is scared to change also. But he knows our purpose of being there a long side him. He says to us, "I know you guys are really kind, but you guys don't like to mess around." Hahaha so that just shows that he knows we love him and that we want to help him.

Elder Tesimale and I were contacting in some apartments this past Saturday. I don't think we'll be going back there again because they were not ready to hear the gospel at all (they were all white too). We got rejected plenty of times. So after that, we decided to go knock some houses instead, and we still had no luck... I told my companion that I feel inspired to pray right in the middle of the street, and we prayed and asked for help and to find someone that's ready to hear the gospel. Later on we found a Spanish house! They were a couple named Joel and Rosie. We were so relieved to find someone to teach. But when we were teaching they said they had a Book of Mormon that was given to them from some other elders in the past, but it made no sense to them. We explained the BOM to them, and the importance of it. After that they said to us that it made sooooo much more sense and they wanted to join our church!! We haven't even really fully taught these people, and they already wanted to join our church!! They're super solid, and they want us to teach them more. 

Well that's about all that happened this week. And it's been amazing. I'm sure there is more experiences I've had but I can't think of them at the moment... Tell Heather thanks for her package! I loved how she sent pink cookies and lots of candy, but mostly the pink cookies. I got Grandma Linda and Grandpa Jeff's letter too. I was sooooo excited because they are my first letter ever! I also got one from Jamie and Nate, haha Cohen draws the funniest pictures. AND last but not least I got one from my mom. I'm so happy to finally have my own shampoo now, and the nesquick and pull up bar is a plus!!

Holy cow Union beat Carbon 49 to 0!! That's awesome! Way to take it to the dinos! And Wes getting 4 touchdowns?? What a stud!

Sounds like all is well back home! Thank you for the pictures by the way. I'm glad Marleigh kicked butt in powder puff football too. And J.T. is getting huge! Looks like fun having to rake leaves. Nobody rakes leaves in Porterville haha the coldest it has ever been is probley 60. But I enjoy pictures every time you all send them. And I promise that one day when I get a USB chord you will see the parted hair :). 

Well I love ya family!! It's always so good to hear from everyone back home! And remember the Lord in all things. I'm truly so grateful to have the opportunity to help others come closer to Christ. I keep you all in my prayers everyday. Hast Luego!

Love always Elder Horrocks

P.S. tell Britton I said Happy Birthday!!
