Week #100 ....Elder Jake Scot Peacock Unforgettable Missionary Moment #1

The Good Fight - 

Elder Peacock last Unforgettable Missionary Moment!

Well, the time has come; my full time missionary service is coming to an end!

These last two years have been the best days of my life. 

I’ve been tested and tried, pushed and encouraged, but through the thick and thin I have bettered myself. Better said, the atonement of Christ has made me whole, pure, and HAPPY!

I really have no words to describe how happy I am. I have taught people the things I know and the have came to know them as well. 

I love Guatemala and the people, my heart is and will always be with the CHAPINES.

I am excited to see all of my family and friends, but sad that I will not see my Guatemalan family and friends for a while.

GOD LIVES, JESUS CHRIST IS HIS SON. AND THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS IS THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING CHURCH!

Signing out with love, 

Elder Jake Scot Peacock

EJSP Unforgettable Missionary Moment #2

Wow second to last time writing is weird. 

Miracles and more miracles

I have seen countless miracles, for healing of the sick and afflicted to seeing the miracle of conversion. The uniting of eternal families, and the uniting with companions to help these chosen souls find the path to eternal life. The mission is a miracle. Its a miracle that I am able to even be a small part in Gods perfect and eternal plan! I know that he lives and loves us and his goal is that we can be an ETERNAL part of his ETERNAL plan. Not just a temporary two years. Rather these two years prepare us for eternity!!

Love you all

EJSP Top 10 Unforgettable Missionary Moments Number 3

BUGS. ANIMALS AND GROSS STUFF

I have seen more crawling things in two years on the mission than I saw in 18 years at home. To list a few, coach roaches, spiders, metallic beetles, scorpions, possums, mice, rats, iguanas, lizards, giant flies, double headed mosquitos, and a bunch of other nasty dead stuff too like cats dogs horses cows birds. 

I am glad that I wont have to deal with scorpions under my pillow anymore LOL. Or eat fried possum, or iguana soup or eggs. All that stuff is stuff I’m not going to forget. I will miss that beautiful nature here; it is so green and lush. I have also loved bring around the ocean and volcano’s

Also the pictures are of some wonder food and my comp and I with matching ties.

Love you,

Elder Peacock

Week #97 ........EJSP Unforgettable Missionary Moment #4

World cup makes mission life hard.... but wow people here like them some soccer. 

 

Since Father’s day was on Sunday, it got me thinking of father figures. Obviously my dad, but grandpa’s uncles and friends too have been great role models for me…but the most important has and will forever be God the ETERNAL FATHER! 

 

That brings me to my #4 EJSP Unforgettable Missionary Moment

 

I have felt closer to my Heavenly Father here on the mission than I ever have before. And I long to be ever closer to him. He has guided me and directed me and I am so grateful for his love.

 

This really should have been number one but it can be number four too!!

 

I love you all,

Elder Peacock

 

PS I think that France is going to take the cup!

Companions.

On my mission i have had a few companions en the MTC I had Ostrander (Tennessee) and Horning (Utah,) then in the field Huaman (Peru) Ballesteros (Honduras) Sorto (El Salvador) Lares (Peru) Vivas (Honduras) Martinez (Honduras) Santos (Mexico) Rosas (Mexico) Conde (Peru) Davis (Virginia) Jacob (Utah) Miles (Utah). 

All of my companions have been super different, from different parts of the world, and I have learned from each of them!! I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to be with them and working for the salvation of the Lords sheep!

Week #95 ......EJSP Unforgettable Missionary Moment #6

I am all good people thanks for all the emails regarding my safety, but I am all good. 

It was a sad week here in Guatemala, the biggest and strongest eruption in a long time. Death count is 100 and counting a bunch of people are missing and a lot of people lost all of there possessions. 

I am grateful to have the knowledge of the plan of salvation. Everything that doesn’t seem fair or just in this life will be made right through the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

This EJSP is defiantly natural disasters and storms. I lived in Antigua, the most famous place in Guatemala because of the beautiful views of the volcanoes. I was just recently in Escuintla where the most damage happened, and where 50ish missionaries are currently evacuated. I have seen that volcano go off probably 100 times I kid you not, but these are signs of the times folks. I didn’t get pictures of the volcanoes eruption, one because I was in church and didn’t have my camera, and two I couldn’t see the volcano just the ash and sand that fell here. As for the weather, yesterday I got soaked. My shoes are still wet and it continues to rain here in VN. I love Guatemala, but the weather is unpredictable, and we have seen that over the course of the last few days!!!

I Love You All!

Week #94 ....EJSP Unforgettable Moment #7

Hello,

This is my last week before my last transfer in my mission, although I know that I am staying in the same area, it is bitter sweet. I had a great week, and played a little monopoly on P-day with my companions since it rained all day. 

EJSP Unforgettable Missionary Moment #7

DIVISIONS.

Divisions are some of my most favorite memories on the mission. You get to pair up with someone in your zone, get to know a new area and just work like crazy. Some of the craziest and most miracles like things happen on divisions. One time we were on the top of a mountain teaching a family and it started pouring so we slipped like a hundred times on the way down and got super muddy. Another time we dug a water-well. Mostly we offer/give blessings… blessings and more blessings! One division we felt impressed to knock on three doors on a specific street. First and second door there were not answers, but the third house we found some of my favorite converts. Divisions bring miracles because we have already decided to be at our best during divisions. I will miss getting to know a bunch of missionaries and doing the Lords work in divisions
