Hey family
This week has been good. We had alot of success, we took 8 people to church and we baptized again. It was a kid named Alfonzo, we got his family active again and we got him baptized so it was cool. We should baptize again this week, a girl named Tania. She is way cool, she is a 17 year old girl and she plays this game called Roller Derby, where they are on skates and whichever team goes around the track the most wins. But they hit each other and smash each other and punch and everything! It’s like hockey just crazier and for girls ha-ha!!! Ya she kinda scares me.
I did get my box so you know and are not worried. Everything was in it and works great thanks a ton. My comp is getting mad at me for the peanut butter cuz we have been working out like crazy trying to get buff ha-ha. He just says “you are just going to lose it all with that stuff it is pure fat.” It reminds me of Jordan ha-ha I’ll just have to eat a little at a time for a long time. But it’s funny cuz I always catch him eating it, which makes me laugh.
This week we had a meeting as a mission to learn to teach better cuz the church put out all this stuff to help us teach better. We had meetings to learn the new stuff. I learned so much it really was so cool and helped me so much. My comp and I had to teach a section, all the Zone Leaders had to get a part ready and present it. We did and ours was how to begin teaching, I thought we did a good job. It’s funny I don’t get nervous anymore in front of alot of people, I’m fine. Everyone else was way worried cuz the whole mission was there but I was fine so it was just kinda funny.
This week we have a meeting with the area president, a guy from the 70’s. He is coming to talk to our mission, with just the Zone Leaders which will be so cool.
The day we went to the meeting we had everyone sleep in one house and we started having wrestling matches. It was so funny no one wanted to wrestle me they were all scared. I think since I lost weight I look stronger now lol.
I’m doing good and am happy and loving it! OK I love you guys!
Love Elder Fackler

Dear family,
This week was good, as for the work we took 8 people to church this week and we are going to baptize again this week so that’s good! The area is starting to get going and we are starting to see some results for all our work, which really makes me happy and my companion.
My health is great, we have started doing tons of exercise so I’m loosing more weight and getting kind of buff ha-ha! I like it, I feel good and I feel like I look good which is good cuz I don’t have a girl waiting. I have got to come home sexy ha-ha. I want to come home weighing like 265 so I’ll look good lol so I can find my future wife lol.
So a funny story, we have been drinking tons of water cuz it is so hot now. So anyways my comp drank a ton on Thursday and had to pee way bad. We were way far away from anyone’s house we knew so he found a bottle and shoved it down his pant leg to go. He started going and some people came by so he took his hand out of his pants and when he did that the bottle dropped a little. He didn’t feel it and he peed all down his leg and in his pants! It was so freaking funny I really just about died laughing. He was so funny about it, he was just like “well that’s a big problem!” and made jokes about it. We took pics and ya it was way funny.
I’m dying tired ha-ha. We did a service project all morning helping a guy put cement in his drive way. We didn’t have a mixer so we had to mix it all by hand with shovels. Then we had to carry it with buckets and poor it and flatten it and get buckets of dirt and rocks to mix it. Ya it was just not fun! My body hurts ha-ha but the family is cool. They went to church on Sunday so we helped them. That’s a real compromise lol if they go to church we put a drive way in ha-ha!!!
Man I can count my changes on one hand, 5 left that is going to go so fast it scares me. Maybe I’ll extend hahahaha just kidding mom. I signed up for 2 years THATS IT. Lol I love it and am learning tons but 2 years is good no more lol.
I’m excited to be an uncle but if you and Big Kev are being Nonie and Papa I am being a Tio ok ha-ha. I hope it’s a boy that will be so cool. What does Ross want?
Oh ya, last Tuesday I got mad at my district. They were so disrespectful and had the worst attitude again in my meeting on Tue. so I lost it. Some of the elders were teaching and they taught so bad. I was like “what are you guys doing?” and they were like “we don’t teach like this for real just these practices are dumb!” So I got mad!!! I was like “I hope you don’t teach like that cuz I almost fell asleep. If that is how you do it in practices it’s the same in the field and that was terrible. You and your comp should go back to the MTC and start again.” Then I was just like “elders I am not going to be rude to you guys cuz you represent Jesus Christ, but if you don’t try to teach good in the practices we can’t tell you what to do to get better and you won’t progress. That’s why we do these, and then you get frustrated cuz we tell you to fix something you say you already do, just not in practices. Well if you don’t want to get stupid advice from us that you already know then teach like you know it! Not like 2 handicap kids!!!” and a bunch more stuff. Ya I was a little upset for their disrespect, I just told them 100 percent honestly what they were doing that was bugging me (with love) and ya it was funny. We went out and I felt bad cuz you know how I am about stuff like that and my comp was like “Dude that rocked! You let them have it with the spirit!” ha-ha. It made me laugh but they have been better and more respectful cuz I just told them I had had it. I talked to the president about it and he was just like “Good they needed it.” So ya I felt good.
But mom that is it for this week. I love you tons! I’ll talk to you next week, love you!

Dear family
This week was ok, we had to lay the law down with are zone ha-ha they were not being very respectful. We had a meeting and had a talk with them and it seems like it helped. We didn’t yell or anything just said the stuff that was bugging us and said “We didn’t ask to get put here as there Zone Leaders, President got revelation from God and put us here and that God put them here so we could help them!” We told them that we can’t help them when they have attitudes and stuff. I think it helped, which is good and if not I’ll just kill them hahaha.
As for me and my comp, we are doing good! We baptized 2 people, ones name is Lidia she is cool. She has been talking to the missionaries for a year and never got baptized. We went and had a way spiritual lesson with her and she agreed to be baptized and went through with it which is cool. Then another lady named Marie. She was cool at first, she hated us but we won her over. She prayed and got a way cool experience and got baptized. I was pretty stoked lol!
Ok cool story, well we saved a dog ha-ha. It has been raining like crazy here so there is water everywhere. There are these huge canals that are full of water, so anyways we were walking along the edge of one of the canals and we heard a bark and looked down and in the canal there was this little white dog on an island. So we decided to save her ha-ha. It is like a brick wall canal, so I got my comp and lowered him in (about 10 feet to the bottom) and he walked across in thigh deep water. He got the dog and came back, handed it out to me and then I pulled him out ha-ha! The dog was way happy we saved it. I think it had been in there for awhile, it was our Christ-like deed for the day.
I’m so sick of being wet! It has rained here the whole week, the whole freaking time. I’m so sick of being wet and muddy but it is my last rainy season ha-ha thank heavens!!! Oh, also we were walking home at night and it was dark and we were walking in a grass field. Anyway we are walking along in this field and my comp is in front of me and all of the sudden he steps and it is a huge hole full of water and he just falls in!!! It was so funny cuz we were already soaked. Ya he was just going along in front and all the sudden he was gone ha-ha!!! I looked down and he is just buried in water, it was way funny. I’m glad he fell in not me!
I’m excited to know if Ross will have a boy or a girl that will be way cool. I can’t believe school is about to start again, it is going so fast. I’m so glad I’m here mom, really you have no idea! I’m so glad I had you and dad or I really would not have made it. I’m so glad you and dad were always in my life and watched over me. Thank you so much, I have really learned so much since I have been here. Most of all I have learned how blessed I was by God to get you and dad. I love you guys!

Dear Mom,
Life here is going pretty good, God is really blessing us. We have 3 people that could get baptized this week and if they do they will save mine and my comps butts. We have not baptized yet this month cuz the area had no one when I got here. We have got to get these 3 people to get baptized or it is going to be a bad day in the neighborhood ha-ha!!! So pray for me and for them lol. I can’t believe Matt Jones is getting home, that’s scary. That means I'll be getting home soon ahhhh!!!
As for my health, I am doing alot better and feeling better. I have not really been sick at all in 3 weeks which is very good!!! I think my pets finally died which is so good. As for my zone we are doing ok. I took dads advice and had a cool meeting last week on teaching skills. It was cool I talked about teaching to people’s needs not just like robots. I had a tape recorder with a lesson on it and it was so funny. The tape would be teaching and ask a question like what is a prophet? The person would answer way wrong then I would turn the tape back on and it would be like “exactly!” then teach more! It was cool cuz it helped them see the importance of listening and then teaching to people’s needs. All the missionaries loved it. Then we just did a bunch of practices to help them fix their teaching so ya hope it works!
Also this week we had a way cool lesson. We are teaching this lady whose name is Lillian and she has gone to church alot and stuff but was scared to get baptized. My comp said he had tried but she didn’t want to, so I said I wanted to try. I went and started teaching her and I felt the spirit way strong, I just told her she knows the church is true and she is putting off an answer from God. I told her how much God loved her and all this stuff. The spirit was so strong, I just told her she had to show her faith to God and get baptized this Sat. and she was like “OK, I’ll do it!” It was so cool and so ya she is one of our baptisms. Let’s just hope she does it, lol but the lesson was so cool.
Today we went to the center of town and looked at the old Catholic churches. There is one on every block, so we went and looked at them. We went in and took pics and stuff but they are way crazy. There are huge statues of the saints and the Virgin and all this crap. I’m serious you can feel the spirit of the devil inside! It is so crazy and just weird, it felt weird inside, like bad. But I got cool pics lol! I’m just glad we have the truth!!!
As for my comp he is way cool, we are getting along good. It is freaking hot here ha-ha!!! It has not rained the last few days so it has not been too humid which is really good!!! Tell Madi I said “Happy Birthday!” I can’t believe she is such an old granny now lol! Love you guys tons! I’ll talk to you next week ok!

Hey Mom,
This week was ok, we were in a trio with a kid named Elder Hunsaker so it made the week a little ruff. Other than that it was ok. We didn’t have alot of success in church which stresses me out cuz we have to do good. I’m just kinda stressed, my zone is not doing good which stresses me out. I loved what Elder Christensen’s mom said, he is for sure going down as my favorite comp!!! He is so freaking cool!!!
Note from Elder Christensen Mom
Cindy,
I just wanted to write you an e-mail and let you know that Westley reported in church yesterday.
It was very sweet and faith promoting.
I needed to let you know that Elder Fackler was mentioned in his talk on Faith.
Westley said that out of all his companions, Elder Fackler demonstrated the most faith serving in Mexico. And that he wished for more time with him.
He was very sincere and I am grateful that your son was part of Westley's mission.
We hope he is doing well and continued success.
I am sure our boys will find each other when your son returns.
Sincerely,
Bernice Christensen
I’m doing ok. This week has been a little crazy but it’s ok. I really have no time to write today. Did you get the pics I sent last week? I’m not sick any more so don’t stress. Will you send pepto-bismal and whatever candy is good ok, thanks!!!
I just wanted to tell you I love you mom, thanks for being my mom. I know I say it alot but I really mean it, there is no way I would be here without you and dad. You have always shown me the right way and the things to do. Thanks so much for being the mom you are and teaching me the right. I hope I will be as good of a parent as you and dad and if not… I’ll just drop my kids off to visit alot ok lol!!! Thanks mom and I’m sorry that in some points in my life I didn’t listen to yours and dad’s advice cuz really, you guys were always right. I love you with all my heart. I’ll talk to you next week.
Love you,
Elder Fackler

Dear mom
Life is going good. It’s a little crazy but my comp is really good! I really like him and I think we are going to do great! We worked so freaking hard this week and we had alot of success. We took 5 people for the first time to church! We are working out butts off, I love him! It’s my new personal mission to get this area exploding so that we are baptizing tons! Pray for us, we have to really step up and have this area explode.
As for being a Zone Leader, it’s ok. Just more pressure but that is ok cuz we grow under pressure and we learn haha! It’s really just about the same just I give meetings and stuff to other missionaries. I spend alot of time trying to help them which is good for me because it’s teaching me to be the best I can. I have to be a good example for the others because if I don’t they will not listen to me. I’m just working hard, trying to be a good example and teach by my actions not by words.
As for me I’m doing really good, we have to change houses today which is going to suck but other than that life is good. We got kicked out of our house because the land lord needs it back. We have to move but we found a new house on the same street so it should be good and not too hard to move. We got some youth to help us so ya it should go fast.
So stories…ok so this week we were walking on this canal, ditch thing full of water and we see this drunk guy on his bike swerving all over. My comp is like “He is going to fall in” I was like “No!” and he was like “Ya!!!” and yup my comp was right. He was so drunk he drove right off the edge rolled almost to the water but got lucky and stopped right before the water. It was so funny yet so sad. So we ran over, climbed down the hill and drug him and his bike out. He was so drunk he could not get out so I pretty much carried him out. So we got him out finally and he was so drunk he just looked at us and was like “Thanks guys, maybe I should walk.” So we cleaned him up and sent him on his way but it was just funny, stupid drunk!
Did I tell you it is the rainy season and I hate it!!! Hot, humid and nasty all day every day, yup it sucks! There is so much freaking MUD yuck!!! I can’t wait to get home to hot DRY desert haha! Oh did you have fire works on the 4 since it was Sunday I didn’t know think about it being the 4th lol!
That is it for this week, we have to change houses so there is not alot of time but I’ll send pics next week promise ok! I love you all with all my heart!

Dear Mom,
So ya I’m officially a Zone Leader, ha-ha crazy huh! My companions name is Elder Magallon, he is from Jalisco Mexico. I still don’t know too much about him, it’s just funny cuz he was my Zone Leader when I was starting so it should be cool. He seems cool and like we will have alot of success so ya I’m excited, it should go good.
So my new area is in Querétaro, but on the other side from where I was before. It’s like 45 min from my old area. I’m in the other zone of Querétaro which is fine because I really liked Querétaro so I’m excited to be here again. The bus ride was ok, it was a long way and the other elders just take us and drop us off. We just go to our new area on the bus where are comps are waiting. Normally we go on Monday for changes but since I went up to Zone Leader I have to be here today to help all of the other missionaries get there comps and get a zone meeting ready. That is why I had to come yesterday but thanks for the money and stuff I love you ha-ha.
OK as for being sick, I just got the flu really bad. I had been sick with worms then got better but then my immune system was down and I visited a sick family and gave them a blessing…well they gave me something to! ha-ha the freaking flu!!! I got it Fri. and was better Sun. morning. I just had to get Gatorade and stuff cuz I could not eat or I’d throw up, that’s why I used my money. That stuff is really expensive here and hard to find. Mom, don’t be worried I’m really ok. I think it’s just my last area was really poor so the food we got was not good quality and people drank the water. That is why I got sick. My new area is way rich, like Querétaro is a way, way, way rich. Part of it’s like the U.S. so I should get over all this crap here, so don’t worry ok I’ll be ok I promise.
So story time now that you got all the info lol. I was teaching this American lady in my last area and she is way cool and like everything was way cool. Then we found out that her husband has killed all of these people here and is a hard core leader of a huge drug gang. He has been shot 5 times and stabbed and all of this crazy stuff. She went to leave him once and he went to her mom’s house and put a gun to her moms head and said to come back or he would kill her mom. It was so sad I felt so bad for the lady but she told us all this stuff then she is just like “Oh, ya and he thinks I’m having an affair with you!!!” So ya I got way scared!!! Some crazy drug dealer, killer guy, thought I was having an affair with his wife! Good thing I got changed lol or I might have been shot lol (jk) but for real possibly.
That is it for this week, there is not much time. Next week I’ll send pics home and everything, cross my heart, hope NOT to die, and no way I’d stab a needle in my eye!!! lol I love you mom, sorry but I’m really feeling better health wise. I’m loving my mission!!! I’ll write lots next week and tell you all the cool details about my new area ok. Love you and DONT WORRY I’m ok I promise!!! I feel better today ok. Love you with all my heart, thank you for being my mom and helping me come on a mission, this is the best experience of my life!!! I’m learning so much and have really found my own testimony about my Savior and our church. Love you.

So ya I’m officially a Zone Leader, ha-ha crazy huh! My companions name is Elder Magallon, he is from Jalisco Mexico. I still don’t know too much about him, it’s just funny cuz he was my Zone Leader when I was starting so it should be cool. He seems cool and like we will have alot of success so ya I’m excited, it should go good.
So my new area is in Querétaro, but on the other side from where I was before. It’s like 45 min from my old area. I’m in the other zone of Querétaro which is fine because I really liked Querétaro so I’m excited to be here again. The bus ride was ok, it was a long way and the other elders just take us and drop us off. We just go to our new area on the bus where are comps are waiting. Normally we go on Monday for changes but since I went up to Zone Leader I have to be here today to help all of the other missionaries get there comps and get a zone meeting ready. That is why I had to come yesterday but thanks for the money and stuff I love you ha-ha.
OK as for being sick, I just got the flu really bad. I had been sick with worms then got better but then my immune system was down and I visited a sick family and gave them a blessing…well they gave me something to! ha-ha the freaking flu!!! I got it Fri. and was better Sun. morning. I just had to get Gatorade and stuff cuz I could not eat or I’d throw up, that’s why I used my money. That stuff is really expensive here and hard to find. Mom, don’t be worried I’m really ok. I think it’s just my last area was really poor so the food we got was not good quality and people drank the water. That is why I got sick. My new area is way rich, like Querétaro is a way, way, way rich. Part of it’s like the U.S. so I should get over all this crap here, so don’t worry ok I’ll be ok I promise.
