Americans Among the Dominican Returned Missionaries!

Another fun opportunity we've had while working in the Self-Reliance Center in Santo Domingo has been participating in and helping a bit with the monthly seminars held for the recently returned missionaries who come from the country! Church leaders, employees, and missionaries teach important principles of continuing in faith and purpose, goal-setting and planning, and principles of self-reliance to help RM's start off their post-mission life on the right foot! We get to attend temple a temple session as well and hear from members of the Santo Domingo Temple Presidency as part of it, which is a beautiful experience. 

 They also feed the returned missionaries (last time it was KFC for dinner!) and let them stay overnight in the housing next to the temple.

It's fun to make new friends here! I am inspired by all of these faithful, hardworking returned missionaries who come back from different parts of the world with burning testimonies and promising futures.
