Week 9  Leaving for Georgia

December 4th-6th

Salt Lake City to LAX to Moscow, Russia to Yerevan, Armenia to Tbilisi, Georgia. 

A Salt Lake local took this photo of Rachel's district on the shuttle to the Salt Lake City Airport and posted it on the Armenia/Georgia Facebook page!

Another local in the airport took this photo and also posted it on Facebook page.

Ironically Brother and Sister Black from Rachel's home ward were visiting Salt Lake City for a niece's baptism and were on their way back to Santiago, Chile to continue serving their mission when they ran into Rachel on the flight to LAX. (small world) 

Mission President Bostrom and his wife took this picture of these missionaries when they finally made it to Armenia. Rachel spent the night at the mission home in Yerevan, Armenia. The next day she traveled by car up to Tbilisi, Georgia. We had heard its a long and hard ride through the Caucasus Mountains. It was recommended to take Dramamine for car sickness.

Rachel made it! This photo was sent to us by the senior missionary, Sister Donovan. Rachel finally has a Georgian companion!

Rachel wrote a short email letting us know she made it. It said: 

"I made it safely to the country, many stories to tell as well as many stories to write down. Love you and miss you."
