First of all, how gorgeous is this young lady?! I know. Stunning, right? Well, she’s even more stunning on the inside, if you can believe it. Rachel is an incredibly accomplished high school senior who is not only intelligent, but she loves to serve and make the world around her a better place. She graduates high school next month and is spending the following year (a.k.a. her “gap year”) as an exchange student in eastern Europe. How exciting is that!?

Rachel, her mom, their Brazilian exchange student/son/brother, Matheus, and I made the trek out to some pretty extraordinary spots along the Salt River. We even came face-to-face with a wild foul! I’ve definitely never encountered anything like that during any of my sessions before! (Stay tuned for Matt’s session to premier later this week!)

Congrats, Rachel, on your upcoming graduation!  I have no doubt that you will continue to impact the world for the better. I wish you all the best in the Czech Republic next year!! xoxo
