Well looks as though Rachel is doing GREAT! Really did we have any doubters!! Here are a few updates that we have gotten from letters to different family members:

• There are 5, including her, going to her same mission. 2 Elders and 3 Sisters.
• Her Companions are Masa Keeling from Texas and Masa Gomez from Oklahoma. They are all very different but they are having fun together.
• She has made it through the first discussion a few times and did a meet and greet in her language which she totally bombed!
• She sat 3 rows back at a devotional where M. Russell Ballard spoke and absolutely loved it!
• She unloaded all her stuff into the wrong room when she first got there!!

So far she has been crazy busy (again any doubters that she wouldn't be?!) and says she sees her room for about 30 min a day. But overall things are going great and she loves it there. The spirit is constantly felt and she's always at peace.

I'm not sure how many addresses she has so please be sure to send her a letter with yours. I have included her email address in the right hand tool bar if that's easier for some people.

Also we are trying to figure out the best way for everyone who wants to, to contribute to her mission fund. Check back for information on that here in the next few weeks.

If you have any other info from her that you want to share please feel free! You can leave it as a comment or email it to me and I will create a post for it.

Have a great day everyone and don't forget to Pray for our missionary!
