It's pretty crazy that this is my last P-Day in the CCM! I wonder if on Monday I'll get to e-mail you again or if I'll have to wait until the Monday after. .it seems like my time here has gone by really fast, some times it feels slow but overall it has flown by! Everyone in my district is leaving Monday except for Elder Reyes who is leaving Wednesday to the Kennewick Washington Mission :) I have to be at reception at 4:30 in the morning on Monday. . .Elder Isaacson and I are the only ones going to Mississippi. I'm not sure what I will miss most about the CCM, but I will definitely miss our 12 person district of only elders :) and playing hardcore Ultimate Frisbee at gym time! Side note, during gym time I did a back-flip on the grass :) I didn't land it though, its pretty difficult, I'm gonna try again today, haha. Also I'm really gonna miss the general spirit that you can feel here. The spirit is felt everywhere but in the field there will be just about everything trying to pull it away. . I'm looking forward to some change cuz it's so routine here, but also I'm excited to get out and see what the actual mission is like:) I loved listening to conference! It was awesome to watch it with all the missionaries from the CCM. We listened to it in English. I loved it and I took almost 10 pages of notes, front to back. It was so good! I loved both of President Uchtdorf's talks and Jeffrey R. Holland's talk, but they were all so good! I also ate 9 packs of mentos in those 5 sessions of conference, haha! We have service every Monday instead of Gym time and its pretty good. There is so much that goes on and so much to email and so little time, also it's hard to remember what I should share and I'm not the best at sharing what goes on but I'm working on it :) I have learned so much about giving your all to Heavenly Father and how He helps you in return. It is crazy how important the scriptures are! I love them! I'm in Helaman chapter 12 and I'm almost finished! I gotta finish before the end of the CCM so I am doing a lot of reading!! Today we are going to be playing Ultimate Frisbee, district against district with the other guys in our house, it's gonna be awesome! I'm also going to do some studying and then set up a meeting with President Lyons, our branch President, about personal conversion. We already had one out of three and they are really awesome! I am always praying for you guys!! I love you!
Your missionary, Elder Acton
Some more pics of us goobers!
Not everyone is in all of them, but we were just being weird
after our session at the temple :)
So glad he got to attend the temple during his CCM time. So important!
