Ellis Mission - Dominican Republic

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 June is the month of rain, rain and more rain! This is a well prepared motorcyclist! They don't let a little rain (in this case a lot of rain) get in the way of whatever they need to do.  We have found Dominicans to be quite resourceful and creative to get what they need done! Nothing stops them. So impressive! Really, this does not capture what we have seen to prove what we mean by their resourcefulness. Usually, we (or they) are driving too fast to take a picture of what we're talking about. 😎😍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😘 Visiting Los Jardines Ward YSA's on Sunday  El Ejido ward YSA's  In Licey, DR.  Later Sunday evening we came to help a service humanitarian group called Humanitarian Experience (HXP) that comes to the DR during the whole month of June to help build a school. Each group is here for two weeks, and there are usually only two different groups throughout the month. While there, we saw a familiar face! Shane and his son, Ty LeBaron ...

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 A special memory of Elder Ellis in 1979 on his first mission to Dominican Republic This   picture was recently posted on Facebook by 🙏  Ferner 🙏 (Left to right) Elder Ellis, Ferner Boden, Elder Brad Fellows Ferner was a young man who often went on splits with the missionaries. His family was the first family in the country to be baptized. He is a well loved, and often talked about man who is as old as the church in the DR. Those early baptized members of the church know and served with he and his family. He is well known among the Dominican people, and that makes Elder Ellis smile. Ferner currently lives in Arizona.  Elder Brad Fellows was  Elder Ellis's trainer (pictured), he  was also the missionary to open Santiago, Dominican Republic.  Thank you, Brad. If you could only come see it now! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Tuesday Night Emotional Resiliency Class...
