Going Home
They settled back into their old lives, but Aaron had another dream. He always wanted to get a Master of Divinity, which is the first pastoral degree in the states. He then enrolled at the Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi. All that time, they always thought about returning to Honduras. Some years later, they began to look into having their own kid. Should they conceive or simply adopt a child?
The Community
They wanted to keep serving their community in Mississippi. They were missionaries and felt like the work never ends. Rachel taught at the local school while Aaron worked as an intern and youth director at the Second Presbyterian in Yazoo City. They started to consider adoption more at the time. “We see the protection of children not as charity, nor as part of a political agenda, but as something near to the heart of God,” Aaron explained when he spoke to the Washington Post.
