Typhoon and Powerful Lessons


¡Holaaaaaaa a todos! ¡Ojalá ustedes están super bien!


This week was another solid week here in Paraguay working in the Lord's vineyard. I am writing this quick so hopefully I can get all my thoughts in this email.


This week was fairly slow just lots of finding and teaching some very solid lessons. On Thursday we had such a crazy storm that hit us and it was just pouring rain and there was so much rain and lighting honestly such a cool experience. That same day we had a very good lesson with Mateo and Celsa like always. Just little by little and a lot of patience. Then we had another lesson with a Mom and her twin daughters. We have been teaching them for a little bit. We have pretty much told them everything. I decided to be pretty clear in our lesson and explain authority and why the church was true. The spirit was so strong with me and I could just feel that what I was saying was true. Then they told us that they just aren't ready to be baptized and they still want to pray to their saints so you can't win them all.


Sorry for the little content in this email but next week will be crazier because we have transfers and we will see what happens! Love y'all and thanks for reading this email. If you want to talk to someone I am one email away! Don't be afraid to reach out!


¡Adíos!

Love, Elder Acor

    Sis. E. Here: Oh, the ups and downs of missionary work! Sorry to hear that the mom and her twin girls want to return to praying to their saints. At least you KNOW that the Spirit spoke strongly through you. They may ponder on what you all felt. God bless! ☼

  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...
