Week 7

Hey Mom!

Mississippi has been pretty great so far! I enjoy serving in the field and Elder Hubert is a great companion. He is a football player and is going to play for the Utah Utes when he gets back off his mission.  We have taught a number of lessons and I have helped as much as I can.  We are English and Spanish Elders, so we teach both.  The Zone Leaders made the point that because we are Spanish and teaching English, we have a harder job than everyone else and have to do more work but that we will also receive the blessings. I am excited to obtain the knowledge and experience to be a great missionary! As for Elder Hubert and I, we both have similar interests and I think this can be a good companionship. We didn't get to teach as much as we wanted this week or go tracting because I had 2 migraines.
Oh, at the airport Elder Isaacson and I didn't ever get charged a thing for baggage. . .so that was nice but weird, haha. I also have some bad news mom, my camera got stolen as well as two other elders in our room at the CCM. We believe a construction worker may have got in our house and taken them. They were out during that short amount of time because of packing. They took only the camera and left the case and flash drives and SD card USB converter drive. I'm sad because it had all my pictures from the CCM on it.
I am sorry to hear about Brother Merrill, that makes me sad but I'm sure he is in a much better place now.
We had Stake Conference this Sunday and Elder D. Todd Christofferson came :) it was cool. I enjoyed seeing and hearing from him.  It was due to Stake boundary changes and mission boundary changes.  Overall this week has been good.
Elder Hubert and I live in an apartment on the third floor of a complex which there is many of in our neighborhood.  The neighborhood has a gate that we have to put a code into to get our cars in.  It also has a gym that we can go to and we do go to every morning:) We are able to have meals with the members but we have only had one appointment so far and we had pizza. . .
Well, that's all I got for now so I'll talk to your later! I love you mom!!! :)

Thanks for all the prayers!

Your missionary, Elder Acton
