Dear …...‚ As you likely know I recently got back from an amazing trip to the Dominican Republic!

This trip also confirmed for me that mission work is definitely where God wants me in my future. With that being said I would like to take a minute and tell you about a opportunity I have

After reading Destiny of The Republic by Candice Millard I’ve concluded it is a well written book about the life of James Garfield which ties Charles Guiteau‚ Alexander Graham Bell‚ and Dr. Joseph Lister together in Garfield’s assassination and failed recovery.
