 Trials and Effort

¡Hola, Hola, Hola!

I don't even know what to write about this week. It was a super difficult week with a couple or tender mercies to keep me going.

On and off this week I've been sick. I must have eaten something or drunken something that made my stomach super upset. I've been struggling with that this week and it's not fun at all. Even the days we could work I felt like I but all my effort in to try and have members work with us and try to find new people to teach but everything fell through. On top of everything this week it was hot. Lowest it got this week even at night was 93 degrees. The maximum it hit would be around 115 or 120 degrees. That's not just for a couple of minutes. That's for the whole afternoon, so that hasn't been helping me with my sickness.

This week on the handful of days we could week we were able to put two friends on date. There names are Micaela and Alanis. Alanis is about 16 and Micaela is about 25. They are both super awesome and we hope they can progress and see the difference that the gospel makes in their lives.

We also had zone conference which I always love. We talked about the importance of having the holy ghost in all of our lesson. It was super powerful. I also love being able to see all my mission friends as well. We went back to our area in an hour long bus ride crammed with people with out air conditioning in about 115 degree weather. I don't recommend it. Unless you want to look like you just went swimming when getting off the bus, go for it.

I hit 20 months as missionary today which is super crazy for me. I have about three and half months left in the mission which blows my mind. I love the mission. Even if it kicks my trash every, single, day. It's helping me grow and I still have a long ways to grow.

Well as you could tell this was a tough week, so any inspirational comments would be appreciated. I hope you all have an amazing week!

¡Adíos!
Love, Elder Acor

    Sis. Ericksen here:

    First of all, I was shocked to hear that you only have 3.5 months left of your mission! I appreciate your honesty in your posts. First that you love your mission. Even if it "kicks your trash every single day." Hang in there no matter what. Looking back when it's over, the shining moments are the one you'll remember the most.! ☼

  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...
