Feliz Año Nuevo y Cambios

¡Hola mi familia y a mis amigos!


This week was a fun one for sure. We started off by traveling to Ciudad Del Este for our Christmas conference which was such a blast. We gotta travel on a bus for about three hours then stay the night with the other Elders in the area. We had our conference which was super fun. I was in the choir and we watched videos from our parents and a bunch of things. It was so much fun and we got to hang out with all the missionaries.


We then traveled back to our area and then worked the next day which was Wednesday. We had our district counsel with our whole zone and did a fun activity where everyone wrote one word about each person and it was so much fun seeing all these nice things about everyone. 


We worked a lot this week with people that are close to having a baptismal date. We have a lot of people progressing and are interested. The thing is that none of them came to church this week so we are taking a step back with them and have to get them to come to church then most of them will progress and then hopefully we will have lots of baptisms this transfer.


Then the big thing that happened yesterday is that we got transfers! Kinda crazy that transfers are already here. The big news! I am staying here in Caaguazú and Elder Richards is leaving and going to my last zone. I am going to be a comp with Elder Lugarani. He is from Argentina so he is going to be my first Latino comp. I am super excited for this next transfer with him. Also our district now is super big. There are ten missionaries in our district and he is going to be the district leader so that will be fun. 


This week I was really able to feel some of the blessings of the mission. I know that what I am doing is the correct thing. Even when my days are difficult, I am tired, frustrated. I know that God is watching over me and that I can overcome any challenge with him. This mission has helped me grow so much and I am so excited to see how much more I can grow and how many more people I can help bring to Christ this year!


Love you all! Set some solid goals this year and go and crush this year!


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...
