Wow, another crazy week.
The ccm is
pretty small about 100 people i am ready for the older kids to leave because
they suck. The actual ccm building is nice but soooo small. There are 4
companionships in my room 3 others and I, 2 of the others are in my district.
Across the street there is a club that blast music every night but it like
music I know like its usually Hannah Montana or Uptown Funk. ha-ha they love
that here. The other side of the ccm there is a shell gas station and then the
temple. It only takes us 30 seconds to get there. I wish I could send you
pictures because I really cannot explain… it is really just so pretty.
Guatemala is so green with trees, hills and mountains. There are tall cool
looking buildings everywhere. The people all drive these way old school busses
that the US donates and the paint them all sorts of sick colors. Out the window
of our district class room you can see the temple….it is so pretty. The gym is
outside and it is two basketball courts and volleyball net. There is a huge net
over the top of us and they say its so the balls stay in the court but we think
that it is so people don’t throw things at us. The cafeteria has 10 fold up
tables and the lifetime hard chairs that Dad loved haha….and the most
uncomfortable things in the world. For breakfast everyday we eat beans and
eggs. I refuse to eat them because the first time I did they were worse than
vegetables so that’s saying something. So I eat cereal that I have never heard
of but it better than the beans haha. Lunch is the best meal of the day, its
usually great food and it comes with Guatemala ice cream idk why but the stuff
is awesome. They have these amazing drinks here, mango, orange, papaya, and my
favorite limeade, (Mom Sage and Sadi you would love it) Dinner is okay but its
usually tortillas and rice so it gets boring. All the North Americans (that is
what the Latinos call us because they think central America is its own
continent) hate it. They ran out of limeade on Thursday, I went and talked to
the president because we are tight (I will explain more later) so we got it
back. So days are long but weeks fly by Sundays are great we have them in the
ccm I gave the opening talk in Spanish it was good…. I think. P days are sweet;
we go to the temple and to a market that’s like 1 mile away. I bought this MT
Dew and it was seriously just sprite in a MT Dew can. It was 5 quetzals like 80
cents. Then we write and play sports till 6. Our teacher are sweet, Hermano
Cate and Hermana Moralis. We tell them English tongue twisters and they
slaughter them haha so funny. We are teaching new investigators me and my new
companion kill it. We do not have to use our notes and we can answer all their
questions all in Spanish. Oh yeah my old companion went home which I was
secretly happy about because I would do everything and he would not help,
especially in lessons. My new companion is Elder Horning from West Point Utah.
He is way cool but he’s a Utah fan so I hate him haha jk. So that why I know
the president good because E. O. my old companion would talk to him all day
everyday till he went home on Thursday so I know the president good and he
always gives me candy for waiting. I love it here. The days are so boring we
sit in a class all day and get fat….Nothing to report on there. So mom when we
stopped in El Salvador we just filled up the plane with gas and took the same
plane to Guatemala, so no train.
It hit my hard this week that the
work we do is the most incredible work ever. We are 18-year-old kids in a
different country speaking a different language teaching the most important
message this world has ever known. I’ve been working hard this week to remember
this isn’t my two years its the Lords so I need to get out of the way and put
my head down and get to work for my savior. Love all of you guys, thanks for
all the love and support I love emails and letters. They make my days better.
Love,
Elder Peacock
