Busy Life at the MTC

 Hey everybody yaya it's Elder Acton!  This week was crazy and there was so much going on its hard to remember everything! Long story short they have us so busy here there's no room for sin, hahahaha. Kinda a funny way of saying that I wake up, work out, shower, eat breakfast, then language study with my comps, then language study class then lunch then 3 hour language class then dinner then 3 hour language class then shower then journal then sleep haha. Soooo no room for sin or homesickness, or really anything other than what's scheduled.  I had a really amazing couple nights with my district with post devotional meetings and there definitely were some tears shed when we shared with each other! I'm going to be honest though my brain is fried tonight and I should send a lot more about my week but I can't think of stuff haha, so I'm going to try a different method for this next week and we'll see how it goes! Anyways, I hope you enjoy the photos and videos.  I

Arriving at the Provo MTC

 Heyyoo, for those who want to know I'm alive and well! My first time on a commercial airplane was great and pretty smooth sailing! Elder Edwards, Anantatmula, and I spent our layover time playing uno and eating our snacks which was super fun. Unfortunately, though our flight was delayed like 30 minutes so we were late getting to the MTC and I missed some of my class Wednesday. After our class we went to a devotional and then from there we went straight to dinner and then back to the devotional. This was so crazy because I didn't even have time to unpack until 10 that night. My companions continue to amaze me though! Apparently both Elder Chong and Chevrier both know some Japanese as well. Which is difficult at times cause sometimes I compare which isn't good for me to do so I quickly try to let any feeling of doubt just motivate me to keep trying. They are great for me because they challenge me to speak more Khmer, it is just difficult sometimes.  Anyway, basically what my

 ជំរាបសួរ     or hello!       This week has been so crazy busy! I got to meet with my companions and my district probably like 50 times over the last 6 days! Elder Chong and Elder Chevrier are both my companions and they both are crazy at the khmer language and honestly they're so intelligent. Elder Chong is half Chinese half Cambodian and is fluent in Mandarin, English, and Khmer. Elder Chevrier is from Tahiti and speaks fluent French, English and is like a quarter fluent in Khmer. Anyway so more about my district WE ALL GUYS! Which is so incredibly awesome cause they are also like top tier guys too. Thats why we are the stripling warriors they are all jacked (buff/strong)💪💪 both spiritually and physically! Heavenly Father must want me to learn more humility because I'm like surrounded by these amazing guys that always impress me, making me want to be better in every aspect of my life (and making me look small physically cause they're BUILT)! We also met our branch brief
