Death - Life Reminders

Today Alex Steddom, I guy I met in a mission trip to DR from MN, died.He was my kinda like my age. And God just came to pick him up to his presence. Everything I knew eight years ago was that he was always looking to praise God with his life and even if he was young, he would take time and go to a poor country like this one to share the gospel with the people.
