FELIZIDAD

wow what happiness is in life right now!
I love the Dominican Republic!
I love these people! 
I love this gospel!
I love conferencia general! even though it was in spanish it was still the BEST WAHOO WE LOVE THE PROPHET HE IS TO PURE!
seriously what a time to be alive! 
we are teaching our cutest little Caroline who is 17 and she is getting baptized this saturday!! It has been so cool teaching her because my mom was 17 when she got baptized! I am telling her just how happy the gospel has brought into my life and into my families life because of my moms decision to be baptized! there are so many things that bring happiness in the world but just in the quick month I have been here I have realized that nothing will ever compare to the joy that comes from being a member of the church and following christ!    not even mine and hermana Sanchez´s 10´15 hot chocolate haha! 
Our circumstances are not perfect down here haha! I am flicking cockroaches out of my scriptures every morning, and our cieling fell in our bathroom HAHAHAHA, and we get to ring out the water of our clothes to hang dry my arms are getting a serious workout! but serisouly I just have never smiled or laughed more in my life!
Love you all! Much joy! hope conference was the BOMB!
GO up the canyon for me and look at the pretty colors! I got the view of palms trees and the ocean this morning on our way to the captial so I am not complaining hahah! 
HAVE THE BEST WEEK! MAKE GOOD CHOICES!
hermana facer!

HOLA!!!!!!!!! THIS WEEK WAS SO GOOD SO FUN SUCH BLESSING!!!!!!!!!! We had a BAPTISM aqui en Villa Verde! Enyel is a STUD! seriously he is my best friend here haha he is so so cool and he is going to teach me how to cook! He is 12 and lives with his dad but we have only seen his dad like once and so he basically just takes care of himself and he is just this little man WE LOVE HIM!!! His friends invited him to a movie that night of his baptism and he said ¨I can´t because I am getting baptized¨ He is the coolest and when we were showing him the pictures we took at his baptism and he was like ¨I look like an angel¨ Okay if you don´t want to get baptized after hearing that what are you doing! HE IS AN ANGEL!!!!!!! He was mine and Hermana Sanchez´s miracle!  Hermana Sanchez left this morning and it is still fresh I don´t wanna talk about it! She seriously is THE BEST HUMAN!!! She is going back to mexico but moving to Utah to study so SHOUT OUT to all my frien...

hiiii mí gente!!! literally so blessed for all the emails and love :') seriously so much happens in a week and I learn so much I don't know where to start. BUT let's start with the coolest guy my homie David A. Bednar! We listened to his talk "Character of Christ" on Sunday and wow what a savage! I was so ready to just change my whole life after that talk! The mission is not about me. I need to drop the ~Natural Man~ like it's hot and turn my thoughts outward! So this week I really tried to be more charitable and not focus on myself. I think it was good because I forgot to shave one of legs one night sooo I either am truly forgetting myself or I am just really tired and dumb hahah!  I know I wouldn't be be able to do any of this on my own... it would be impossible! We were talking to some Czech Elders last night during language study and they said the direct translation of  the hymn "I Need Thee Every Hour" is "I Can't Without You...

Hello everyone this is mama Facer and I need to update you on our little Dominican!      She is in great spirits~for a caged animal! 😂 For all you who know Alexa will understand how she must be feeling on a 2 week lock-down! #ballofenergy      As all of our missionaries around the world, she is getting the very best care and attention for her safety during this time.  Her mission President is stellar and keeping us informed every step of the way.  She can call home every Thursday and Monday now for an hour and that has been really helpful- for all of us!      Prior to the shut-down she and Hna. Rodriguez had the baptism of Maicol (Michael) and Noel! They are the BEST boys and LOVE the Lord and the church SO MUCH!  It was a wonderful experience! Attached is their picture.  The members of the church are also taking such good care of them- bringing food and checking in. THANK YOU D.R. ❤️      Now our pray...
