Life Outside Of The States

There has been a lot of people lately asking me how my brother is doing on his mission. So, I decided to let you see for yourself :)

Elder Stroud is doing really good. He is absolutely loving it there because he has fallen in love with the good people of the Dominican Republic. He says they are a very giving people. Even if they dont have much at all they would give you the shirt off their back! He also says that when he and his comp are out tracting, that hardly anyone turns them away. That even if they may not be interested in the gospel then they are usally still pretty nice and welcoming.

He has lived in Santiago, Nibaje, and Monte Christi. He was only in Monti Christi for these last two weeks. Now he just transfered again and is now living near Nibaje. He has never became Senior Comp or Zone Leader or District Leader yet. But he is now the Secretary of the mission.

This September, will be his one year mark! Time is flying!

We are super proud of him for all the sacrifices it takes to leave "Your" life behind and serve the Lord for two whole years! I couldn't even imagine. We are even more proud that he seems to be taking the experience to heart and is doing his best!
