E-Mail, March 25,09

Hey Mommy so how is every one I am good. Ya I’m glad I am going to be a zone leader its really scary to. We have to help home sick missionaries and interview all the time and meet with the branch pres every Sunday it’s a lot of stuff and its weird cuz we are still the youngest Elders in the zone by far and we are the zone leaders. I think we get new missionaries in our zone today so that’s good. We had the best fireside last night it was from one of the guys in the 70. He talked about forgetting yourself, he used an analogy. He said you can use a stumbling block as a stepping stone. Only you can decide what it is. So I guess I’ll surmount my stumbling blocks all I’ve got to do is use them as stepping stones right. I just really liked it a lot. He also said that if you are home sick it is cuz you are to worried about yourself. So I need to work on it cuz I am still struggling with missing you guys way bad. Its weird here time goes so slow yet so fast. The days feel like weeks but the weeks feel like days. I am learning a lot my scriptures are getting so marked up (lol) but in a good way. Spanish is starting to come. I can follow and get what they are saying I just can’t respond but they said you will learn how to talk in the field. Here we just learn grammar so we have a foundation. Oh I benched my companion last night it was so funny (lol) we always play around in the dorms so we don’t go crazy cuz we focus so much all day. Its so funny like we will sing songs so loud and have church song dance parties (lol) by the end of the night everyone is in are room. We even put a sign above the door saying “Elevangelio Club” which means gospel club in Spanish haha! Ya I know its weird but things are always the same here so we mix it up in our room. I love all of you so much thanks for everything.

All my loveYour son,
Elder Fackler
