Doubling Down

Image
 Hey quick weekly y'all. I'm still in Cambodia and I'm doubling down on my dedication. My MTC group left back to America and I miss them. It was super hard saying goodbye to them, especially the Australians becaus I know I might not see them again for a very long time. Though, that's nothing compared to what I will feel when I leave Cambodia in its whole. Just in 1.5 months more too. I love my mission and I'm so glad I'm still here kickin it. I can't wait till the temple open house and I'm just overall so excited for this transfer 🙌 I have Elder Francis as my comp and we gonna absolutely preach it up!!!! Also look at the photos to get more updated haha I love all y'all and see you sooner than I'd like. Hahah jk but I am super sad to leave. Elder Acton

God is Good

Well, this week was super busy and super fun too, I had a lot of exchanges which were really good. I think one of the coolest things was when I was on exchanges in Tuk Laak, we met with a Toul Kork member who lives in the Tuk Laak area. As we were visiting it was brought up that their nephew had just passed away on Wednesday. They were doing their 7 days since he passed funeral in Kompong Chhnang, which was so cool because that's the day we set to do exchanges up there anyway. So Wednesday I was able to go to their funeral and introduce their family to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm hoping Elder Hansen and Elder Tut will be able to keep teaching them. It was quite the special experience!!! God is good and is aware of His children. I'll maybe explain more with pictures because as of now I'm out of time. Please be aware that God loves you and wants you on His team fighting for good! Love,  Elder Acton P.S. I'm still doing great but dreading the end of my mission. Che...

Cherishing Every Day

 Okay, so this week I don't have a lot and I'm almost out of time to write too, so I'll just give you a summary. This week we really focused on finding members and where they live and if they're inactive showing our love to them. Well, we found three, which was awesome! Technically, a lot more cause with those three comes their family as well. This last week didn't have much that went on to be honest so there's not too much to share other than I'm still doing great, I still love my mission, and I'm still cherishing every single day I have. I guess I had an exchange this last week with the AP's which was good. We talked a lot about how to do better contacting and finding people. THROUGH FAMILIES, so that's what I'm trying to focus on. Anyway, I love you all and I hope that all of y'all can feel the love of Christ in your life. If not, do the necessary steps to be in a place where you can feel His love. Because He's there, waiting with ...

The Lord is Hastening His Work

 Okay so this week was another set of trials but wow! the weekends are packed with miracles. On Saturday, we were just finishing up a dinner lesson with the first councilor, we were hopping on our bikes to go home when I noticed an Indian looking couple staring at us. I said, "Hello," and asked how they were doing and afterwards they asked me what I was doing here so I told them straight up. I'm here teaching about Jesus Christ. They smiled and with an excited look on their face they said "WE'RE CHRISTIAN TOO!" So to make a long story short I got their facebooks and Sunday roles around, they come to my ward's sacrament, the 2nd ward's sacrament, and the international ward's sacrament meeting too!!! So that's three times! Super awesome and cute couple too. I'll put it in the photos. Then while at church after second hour, another guy just walks up and says, "yeah, I wanna learn English and I wanna learn about Jesus Christ too. Can I d...
