Hello Hello Hello

He's a great missionary.  I can't even express how proud I am to see the growth and maturity that he has had while on his mission.  A couple things are always the same... I can ALWAYS feel the love he has for the people on his mission and I can ALWAYS feel the love that he has for his mission itself!!  I hope you can feel that also :)

Enjoy...

Hello Hello Hello

I guess no one got the message we had a temple trip this week and so today (Wednesday) was our temple trip and also our Preparation Day. Sorry if you were worrying about me not writing a letter this week. But this week was pretty awesome actually! Like before it was a little hectic and busy, but the Lord blessed us. 

I had the opportunity to give a training for Zone conference on Tuesday. It was actually my first Zone Training and I was little nervous to be honest. Missionaries from Porterville, Lindsey, Visalia, Tulare, and Hanford all came and so there were a lot of us. I gave a training on "Dining while teaching LA's and RC's and part member families". It went pretty well! 

Elder Corona and I got to have a mini missionary come out with us this week! It was pretty sweet! What the stake does is calls a certain number of youth to go out on a 3 day mission with full time missionaries. They get set apart and go out with the missionaries and everything. Our missionary's name was Aaron Hatch, he's a great kid and a little bit shy. He did awesome for the three days he was with us. He only spoke English which kind of made us feel bad because we spoke mostly Spanish, but he got the spirit of it. If there's time I'll send some pictures of our little missionary haha.

Those that we're teaching are doing good too! The V. family is looking forward to being baptized this Sunday on the 15th. They're so prepared but I can tell they're a little nervous and scared. Right now they are living with one of our members and she helps them answer questions and provides help and means till they can find their own place. They are truly being blessed. So pray that they will receive answers to their prayers, and that they'll have the courage to be baptized... T. R. is doing good too. He has a date for baptism on the 29th of March. He is a little bit scared as well. He has a few issues with the word of wisdom but he trusts us when we tell him that the things we teach him will help him quit completely, if he'll let it... There are a lot of potentials that we've noticed this week and they've all been through members. Hastening of the work is really all about the members! One potential is actually from A. C., the one LA we helped come back to church. She's came to church twice now and has brought a non-member friend, which is actually her cousin. We have an appointment to see her and her cousin tomorrow. 

So I'm happy to hear that baseball went good this week! Sounds like they have good things going already. I'm pretty excited to hear about spring sports. I hope that this summer we can get permission to watch the Fresno Grizzlies AAA team play (hopefuly). I miss baseball. I'm happy to hear everyone else is doing good! I love hearing good things about family.

I'm super excited for Justin! That's so awesome! I've looked back and realized that a lot of my family members have been blessed since I've been back out. I'm so excited, and makes me super happy!... Congrats to Nic! He gets the immersion of Spanish right off the bat. He'll be fluent in 6 months

Well in the past I've written longer letters and have had more time, but I'm going to have to keep this one short. I have to do a few other D.L. responsibilities (like write president about exchanges that I had with Elder Lundberg yesterday). Being a missionary and D.L. can be crazy sometimes!

I hope you all know I love you and miss you. Hasta luego en cinco dias!

Love Elder Horrocks

P.s. Elder Russell M Ballard is coming to speak to us on the 21st of this month. Should be pretty awesome!

P.s.s. I'll try everything I can to get a recording of the musical from Brother Garcia maybe? It's just were real busy and will if we can.
