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!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
