Working Hard

Cooper Acor <cooper.acor@missionary.org>

¡Hola mi familia y a mis amigos!


This week was definitely a very normal one. Nothing too crazy happened. I will say though that last Monday night we had a guy follow us and then chase us a little bit by running at us. It was good though we out ran him and I attached the selfie we took right after that experience above.


This week we worked all the areas we normally work and found new people and invited a lot of people to be baptized. We are at a point where we are trying new things and seeing what works. It has been a bit of a dry spot in my mission when it comes to baptism and people progressing but sometimes we have dry spots in our lives. What we can do is keep moving forward doing the right things and then eventually something will come.


While the work maybe going a little bit slower I will say I have been developing good habits. My greenie has some awesome workouts we have been doing and I feel great. Also my daily habit of studying the scriptures still happens no matter what is happening in the work and that has been so important for me because it strengthens me spiritually everyday and I can feel God's love for me. That is one habit I will keep for the rest of my life. It will easily be the thing that keeps me the happiest in life. Who knows what will happen everyday but if we start our days reading the word of God how could things go wrong.


If anything I have relearned at this time it is for sure to not get comfortable. Try new things, eat something new, talk to someone new. It is so refreshing to get out of our normal everyday activities sometimes.


That's it for this week! Thanks for reading this email I hope you all have a fantastic week!


¡Adíos!

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...
