Liberty Jail

¡Hola mi familia y a mis amigos!


For those of you that do not know I am still here in the CCM! Woo hoo! I am joking it has not been the funnest thing. So all the missionaries heading out had to get Covid tests on Saturday so I got my test. Sunday afternoon rolls around and they tell me that I tested positive and that I have to stay here another week. Not only that but I had to isolate myself in a house for the next five days. There are four of us Elders total that tested positive so I had some company. We would wake up, do lots of studying and then just sit around all day. We would get our food delivered and that is about it. Very boring things.


If you have seen my Facebook I have been trying to post once a day about a topic about the gospel. It has been a fun experience finding a gospel topic to talk about. Share my testimony with my friends and family then I always end it with a question. That is my favorite part because I get to hear others opinions and get to see what they think about the topic as well. It is so fun. Now today was our first day out of the house and we went to the temple which was amazing. It was very cool that the first place I visited after five days was the temple. Now we have a new district! An all Hispanic district where they all speak Spanish. It is going to be a new struggle and challenge for sure.


Right before I had to go into isolation I was talking with the CCM president and his wife. Hermana Kirkham told me that this experience was going to be my liberty jail experience. Yes while that may be a little far fetched with us having phones and a computer and good food everyday I saw where she was coming from. I went from talking with and seeing so many people to nothing. It was very difficult to see all the people in my district going to the field and seeing everyone enjoy their missions while I am stuck here. I took this time to pray to God anytime I got a prompting and just talk to him for a while. I read the scriptures for hours and just really tried my best to understand why I was going through this. Now we have about three days until hopefully we get to go to the field and I have never been more excited. Next week I promise I will be in Paraguay.


That is it for this crazy week! Love you all and hope you have the best week ever!


¡Adios!

Love Elder Acor

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
