On Sunday, August 4th, I received a Facebook message from a total stranger. I shared the message with Ron and as we began to read it, both of us got tears in our eyes. First of all it was amazing that this total stranger would take the time to look me up on Facebook and send a message about our daughter. Second of all, as I was reading her description of Rachel, I could totally picture Rachel smiling and laughing and being herself. A testament to us that Rachel is happy serving the Lord.

Heidi and family,
so you don't know me but I had to write you and tell you about the experience I had running into your daughter, Hermana Barker, in Madrid on Thursday.
So I've been on a study abroad in logrono, a city 4 hrs from Madrid and to end the program a few of us are here in Madrid. We were walking the streets and seeing the city when the highlight of the day was running into the missionaries. I met your daughter and I just wanted to let you know that she was BEAMING with light. She stood out and was so happy and enthused to be where she is. Having served a mission myself, I understand the sacrifices and challenges that comes along with it but I am always grateful for their sacrifice and enthusiasm about the gospel. No doubt she is going to be apart of many miracles. She is optimist, intelligent but most important, I felt her spirit and I left feeling uplifted and grateful for meeting her. She will do great things! She must have had great influences growing up to get her where she is today. Thank you for raising sweet Hermana Barker the way you have, she is a blessing to anyone that gets to meet her!
Take care, and prayers for your missionary in Barcelona!
