okay well if yall arent aware of the recent events here in louisiana there was two white police officers who shot a black guy and now there are a whole bunch of riots and shootings going on here. sometimes it can be pretty scary but we know the lord protects his servants. (just not stupid) so because of the situation we have a special curfew and have to be in before the sun goes down. its like super crazy out here. everyone is talking about it! but on saturday elder arellano and i had a very spiritual lesson with one of our investigatros neil and it was really nice. so neil has been an investigator for like 5 years now and has always had a problem with joseph smith and the authority of the priesthood and so we had a member come with us to kinda throw down on him. and it was exactly what he needed. bro calmese used the best scriptures in the bible and dc to show neil that there actually needs to be authority to use the priesthood. it was super spiritual and very cool. dang i also gave a talk at church yesterday and i didnt prepare it at all haha i was so nervous! it was about how members can work with the missionaries. all the missionaries had to do it and i have more time out on my mission than all the three others that serve in my area (my comp and the sisters) so when i went up to speak i was like unlike these other guys i have been a missionary for about 21 months so ive been around the block a couple times and then i just shared some of the stories i have gained from seeing member missionary work. alrighty dudes i gotta go! love yall!! elder horrocks
