okay yall i only have 9 weeks left and it is getting kinda scary!! so just one thing i would like to share is the power of the priesthood! so last week my back was in so much pain i felt like throwing up!! so i asked my comp and the other dudes we live with if they could give me a blessing. and as soon as they put there hands on my head all the pain in my back went away and i felt like i was (as everyone says down in the south) "born again" haha. well yall. i got nothign on my mind for today. work here is slow and the weather is pretty bad and only supposed to get worse! we are going to nola this week for a zone meeting and that will be the last time i see elder caldwell. for he goes home this transfer. so ill send some pics. elder horrocks also shout out to dave allen for being into rc so i will have someone to fly with when i get home. and for being the last person in the family that i physically saw on my mission haha. (talking about the airport in georgia on my way to mexico)

okay yall just to start off by saying that i am alright in the flooding!! there was no harm or accident taht fell upon me during the storm. actually there wasnt really any storm where i was! so i got some good news that i would love to share with yall. after a year of praying for it i have finally been able to have the oportunity to be companions with one of my favorite missionaries in the entire mission!! my good friend elder bean!! and plus the area i am in is in the new orleans zone. although its not in new orleans i still technically made it into new orleans so that is cool! the only downside is that here in morgan city there is literally nothing. it is the exile of the mission haha. so at least im with a companion that i get along with really well!! there isnt much to report on this week because of the storm, our mission has been on lockdown the entire time weve been down here so that is not fun. anyways i gotta go now. love yall! elder horrocks ps my address is 207 trevino st apt #1 berwick,la 70342
