Text from Service Volunteer to Debbie:
Had the privilege of serving in the DR this week.  There were some awesome missionaries that helped us a ton in the medical clinic with interpreting. ...your son was one of them.  As a previous missionary mom....I loved pictures.  Here are a couple:

Debbie:
Thank you so much! I didn't think I would ever get surprise texts and pictures like this with him being in the D.R.  You just made this mommas day, no week, no month!




Elder Auger:


well im gonna write fast because there is so much to tell.

tuesday night i got a call from elder blount in our zone and said that i needed to go with him to help translate for the service group that was coming in to the country, so wednesday we left early at like 5:30 AM and went to valla wana to help out, i translated for people, helped explain medications, answered questions about diseases, filled out paperwork and at the end we got coconuts, way too cool!

thursday had a great meeting with president corbitt, taught us the importance of study and planning, that when we plan for our investigators we become more like our heavenly father in that we are preparing a plan of salvation for the souls of men. hit me so hard, im gonna plan better now.

friday Jesus and Katheryn got married!!!!!!!!!!!!

saturday, my birthday was too awesome, thank you guys so much for the package and letters, dad the plaque is golden and the journal entries are sweet! we cleaned the chapel for the baptism and Bola, or wedding reception, with katheryn and practiced the special musical number nearer to thee at home, but in spanish of course, elder Areas and katheryn sang and i played the piano, then the zone leaders baught me a piece of cake, super good. then we had the baptism, it was spectacular, we all wore suits, elder sauceda lent me his, looked spiffy, lots of people wanted pics with us, pretty cool. also president corbitt came to the baptism, spòke to us about the temples, and how jesus and ketheryn are getting sealed in a year, so flippen happy man, cant explain it! :) the musical number was perfect, spirit was so strong, got the chills. the ward helped pitch in to set up a wedding reception in the cultural hall after, baught a huge cake and all, super awesome. they are really like my best friends, cant believe how blessed i was to have an experience like that on my birthday!!!!!! :D
