A trip with a TL

This week I have been traveling with the Bishop and a bunch of other United Methodists in the Holy Land. We've been visiting all the sites, praying, hearing great lectures, etc. But one of the best joys of the trip is being able to be here with one of our YLI Transforming Leaders Interns from last Summer, Rachel Hashimoto.

Rachel has been one of those group members that makes everybody smile. She greets everyone warmly, is interested in you sincerely, and is one who can hang out with the wide variety of of people on the trip.
