 Think Celestial


¡Hoooooooooola!


This week was a crazy one. My weeks have been going one chill then one crazy. Now we get to here the craziness that happened this week.


I can start off with last Monday. We got to go a huge mall here called Shopping Paris. That was super fun and chaotic. Security got called on us cause they thought we were there to preach but we were just there to chill and go shopping. I bought a super cool Paraguay jersey and I bought skittles which were so good.


Tuesday was a super good day. I got to go and do exchanges with one of the Elders in my district. His name is Elder Sego and he's from Texas. He has one transfer less than me so he's got some experience. It was super fun. It was also fairly hot this day but we had some awesome lessons. The other Elders had a fun experience with stepping on a rusty nail and going to the hospital so I think we were chill.


Wednesday was a normal solid day of work. Thursday we did emergency exchanges because one Elder was sick. I had to stay here at my house and he just slept all day.


Friday I got to do exchanges with my son Elder Bauman! He is doing so good and his Spanish is super amazing. He has such a strong testimony and has grown so much. I'm a proud dad. I worked in his area and we had some fun experiences. We taught a big group of drunk people and they were super nice and gave us hotdogs.


Little out of order but I got to go to Monday Falls which if you listened to Elder Soares' talk it flows into Iguazu falls. We live like 30 minutes away from it.


Saturday and Sunday was General Conference. So amazing. Can't even describe how awesome it was. This is my third conference here in the mission and I have one more. I love being a missionary here in Paraguay. Listening to the conference talks just confirmed more of how happy I am to be here. I want to say as well how divinely inspired President Nelson is. He's the prophet of God. He receives revelation for us all. So with that my invitation is. Think Celestial.


Love y'all! Hope you have an awesome week!


¡Chau chau!

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...
