August 25, 2015 - Rachael's Mission Departure

I'm off to Brazil for 18 months and cannot wait to learn the language and meet the wonderful people!

Although it is hard to say goodbye to family and friends, I know how important it is to serve the Lord, and the wonderful blessings it will bring to me, my family, and those I serve!
I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve a mission and look forward to sharing my testimony and experiences through this blog. Thank you for all your love, support, and prayers!!
