This week was pretty cool. A lot more
of the same ole same I'll be honest I’m ready to get to the field. I learned a
lot this week but I feel my CCM potential is maxed out and now I just have to
learn in the field. So some funny and cool things happened this week. I was going
up the stairs and my buddy Elder Miles jumped the fight of stairs in three
steps and he goes Peacock bet you cant do it in two, and I can’t just not try
so I tried for the stair jump in two steps and I kid you not I hit my left big
toe so hard I think its busted and its black and blue and been swollen for a
week…. so that was funny. On Sunday I blessed the sacrament in church in Spanish
and i got done look at president for approval and he told me I need to roll my “r’s”
on a word for it to count so I did it again and it still couldn’t do it so he
just let it go… hahaha so funny. In sacrament we sang the song Joseph Smiths
first prayer to the tune of Come Thou Fount and we did it in Spanish and it had
everyone in tears including president. We have a devotional tonight and we will
sing it for a 70. Also we practice with the Latinos now because we can usually
understand them and we teach lessons not in comps just individually and I taught
a lesson about the plan of salvation to a Latino and had her in tears because
she said it was way good. So that was cool. Some of the new kids are struggling
a bit with homesickness and Spanish so every night I go in their rooms and just
talk to them and comfort them and it makes me feel way good like I’m actually
helping. One day our teacher was sick so we were able to go place more BOMs so
that was cool. There is a district here speaking Qéqchi and the hymnbook in
that language is Eb´Li Bích and it sounds like the call us a really bad word
but oh man is it funny hahahah. Anyway I’m having a blast I’m healthy and happy
I hope you all had a good week of school and work
Love you guys a ton, thanks for the
support
Love,
Elder Peacock
Oh …..spiritual thought I’m going to start these now.
The gospel is so simple that a child can understand, but
there is so much depth that you can study for a lifetime and not know
everything. I have found this to be true here in Guatemala. We are taught to
teach investigators as simply as possible yet I can open up the scriptures and
read something I had read a million times and always find a new meaning. I love
reading the scriptures. I encourage all of you weather you have been lifelong
member or converts. Read the scriptures daily and try to find a new meaning
each time you search the scriptures. I have a testimony of the scriptures and
especially the Book of Mormon and I hope that it can have an influence in your
lives.
Love you guys!
