Friends and Family-

This is the first of I hope many e-mails of my adventure to come. I want to thank again all of you who gave financially to my Liberia
trip, and also for those of you who have dedicated to be prayer warriors. God has blessed in so many ways and thank-you for being a
part of it!

Well, I’m starting to get some butterflies as I am all packed to fly out of Des Moines tomorrow morning. I would appreciate your prayers that my luggage gets through (since I feel like I’m a walking pharmacy) and that I have no problems with security.

I enjoyed seeing those of you who came to the party on Monday night. Thank-you for all the encouragement and prayers.

I love you all, and I look forward to updating you soon on my trip.

His blessings,
Rachel
