The Community
However, they wanted to still assist their community in Mississippi. As missionaries, they felt their job was never-ending. Aaron was both an intern and youth director in Yazoo City at the Second Presbyterian, whilst Rachel taught at a local school. The pair were leaning more towards adoption. “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 told the Washington Post.
Preparing Themselves
At the same time, they also debated their return to Honduras. After all, Aaron was raised there and they were aware of the needs of the community there. The pair traveled back on a mission with the Presbyterian Church of America. They decided that they would tr conceive naturally bt also take a visit to a local adoption agency. They were eager to start a family and ended up spending a day at the adoption agency.
