A mission call

It has been ages...but I just wanted to announce that I, Rachel Edwards, got my mission call to the Paraguay, Asuncion mission! I leave in 2 months and will be speaking Spanish and hopefully a little bit of Guarani. Since the people of Paraguay are carnivorous, I regret to add that I will be officially ending my 6-year meat fast in August. I've had a good run, but the good Lord knows that it's about time I got over my irrational disdain for large, red-meated animals. I am now no longer just a "chicken, fish, and turkey" kinda girl. Other than that...I am so excited for life's new adventures.


(My mom and I with my mission call. I brought it to my sister Baxter's track meet, because I couldn't bear to part with it. I was crying so I looked like a mess)

yeeuh! you should watch the mission, if you haven't yet. it's about jesuit missionaries who teach the guarani indians. i just hope that your mission doesn't end the same way. in fact, i'm sure it won't.
