Hey you!! I’m Rachel. Otherwise known by my squad mates as ethel, or esther, anything works really. >>>>Fun fact: my nick name was smiley when i was a wee lassy.<<<<
I’m newly graduated from high school; I was home schooled along with my coolest siblings ever; Anna, Ben, Rebekah, Caleb, (meeeee) and lydia, by my mum and daddy-o
I like to sing sing sing, swing dance, sitting down w/ a good friend and a cup a joe, Aswell as play lots of ultimate frisbee, volley ball, and card games.-even though i’ll say yes to almost any game, those are my favourites.^
I’m a big believer in healthy food and making new dishes that support my nutritionist soul. Also, sugar. Can’t forget all that kale with a side of oreos. 😉 [that’s a balanced meal, right?]
Lover of children, sometimes older people, (heh!) and a big happy enjoyer of laughing at anything remotely funny.
How did i get to be here, accepted and welcomed into the World Race Gap Year family? I’ll tell you… for as long as i can remember in my future plans and thoughts, i knew i loved being a helping hand in disaster, a snuggle-buddy to a lonely child in need of embrace, a wild longing to be grown closer to the one I call Father, in heaven he resides, his spirit living inside of me. Months and months ago, when I started gently looking into some possible mission trips, I got settled with one idea for so long…but then, before I knew it, I longed to jump even further, to take the bigger step, to be wild to take the 9 month gap year, to make that dedication and reservation to spend it serving and growing in the Lord. I recall looking back on a link a friend had sent me as a recommendation, I clicked on it and bam, after a few doubts, much much prayer, and a lot of encouragement, I finished the application and received a call about my acceptance. I’m soooooooo excited about going on the journey being the hands and feet of Jesus with my awesome squad! WOOOT WOOT!
If you’d like to keep me in your prayers as I undergo this adventure to GUATEMALA, MALAYSIA and BOTSWANA that Jesus is leading me on, I’d appreciate that so many lots!
