Hey!
I just finished my third week in the CCM! Today is the midpoint
of my training in Mexico and so far the days feel like weeks and the
weeks feel like days.
Highpoint of the week was actually
today. We went to the Mexico City Temple Vistors Center. The temple is
closed, so we only got to see the outside, but the visitors center is
awesome. Its super high tech, and really well done. Everything is in
Spanish and it is very Mexican themed.
The temple is beautiful. It is styled kind of after a Mayan
temple. It looks like a giant pyramid with an angel on top. It made me
think about the blessings the temple has brought into my life and the
blessings it can bring into countless others lives. Even though it was
closed, I still felt the Spirit of the temple on the outside.
We also got to leave the CCM grounds for a bit and drive through
Mexico City, which is always an adventure. There are all these random
people in the street selling sketchy food and washing windshields at red
lights. Cars drive a million miles an hour and the roads make zero
sense. But it is so cool. It makes me want to get out into the field
right now and start sharing the gospel and getting to know people!
This week, I gained a greater belief in prayer. I know that we can
talk with God through prayer and that He hears and answers us, not
always according to our desired time frame, and not always the answer we
desire, but He always listens and answers if we ask sincerely.
Also, read the Book of Mormon. It is true. Its actually pretty
exciting to read as well. Read it, know it, and come to love it. I
have become a much better person because of my study of the Book of
Mormon. Don´t fear it if you have never read it. Start with the
introduction, and keep reading, continuing with first Nephi chapter one
after the intro.
Thanks for yours thoughts, prayers, letters, and emails everyone! Los vemos
Elder Peck
