February 23rd, 2015 - I Love the Temple!!

Where do I start!!!
 
It was a busy busy week here in Modelo!! We started off the week with my comp sick!! He took medicine but the doctors aren’t really doctors here and it didn’t help him so we had to go to the hospital, and it’s the same in the hospitals. So they just gave him some pain medicine and we went on our way!! It worked so far!! He is still taking them so we will see in the next week if it totally went away!! I’m feeling great though!!:) 
 
We were busy on Wednesday with the district class and some lessons that we had, but on Thursday we had interviews with President Jordan!! While we had the interviews we had a speech from Sister Jordan and the assistants!! It was great!! They talked to us for a little bit but then they told us they had a surprise for us!! The surprise was.... we watched Meet the Mormons movie!!!!! It was great! Of course in Spanish but it was awesome to watch!! The morning was great with them and the interview was even better!! President Jordan is great!! I learned so much of how I can become a better missionary!! We talked for a while and he gave me the different things that I could be doing to better my area!! When he talks... he talks with the spirit and you can feel it!! It’s one of a kind of!! I’m still calling it that his going to become a 70!! We got back in our area a little bit late but its ok though because when you feel the spirit like that... it’s a good day!!
 
The area is coming along slowly!! All the people in my area are either Jehovah Witness or Catholic!! Ha we are trying to help them out a little bit though! ;) We have some steady investigators that are super great! This is family Benitez!! We had a great experience this week! We taught this part member family and it was super great! They felt the spirit and are ready to have the gospel in their lives! At the end of the lesson the wife told us that she has been listening to missionaries since 1995! She told us now that she feels like its time and her prayers have been answered that she needs to be a member of this church and how she wants to go to the temple to be sealed to her husband! It was a moment that words can’t describe!! Such a great family and am excited to see their progression!! The husband served a mission so he is teaching them also!! They are a great family!! The members here are struggling a little bit because they aren’t used to helping us out, but we are putting them to work poco un poco. They are starting to go with us!!
 
So the reason why we have our p day today is because we went to the temple today!! I LOVE THE TEMPLE! It was so great!! It’s amazing how many answers you can receive and the spirit that you can feel in the temple!! It’s something super special that I hope you are all taking advantage of!! We got back in our area and went to a house where we were going to eat and they had a huge rat in the bathroom!! Yes I killed it!!! It was a battle and the photos aren’t fake!! We had a war and Elder Facer won!!!!!!!! That’s what I’m talking about!! The spirit of the Lord was with me!! :)
 
My comp had a year in the mission this week!! Yes he burned a shirt!! It was fun and reminded me of Saratov Approach!! Ha I love you guys and I feel like am missing something to tell you guys!! I trust in the Lord that you are all doing great!! From your letters…you’re doing great!! I love you guys!! Have a good week!!! Put the Lord first in your life and see the miracles that happen!! Love you guys!
Love Elder Facer!
PS mom enter my email and take the rat pictures from it and send them to everyone!!
Love you
