The past few months have been a crash course in agriculture for 26-year-old Rebecca Loveland.
Her father, Kevin, considered it a privilege he couldn’t refuse when he received an unexpected calling in October to serve The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a mission president.
Rebecca was fresh out of graduate school, having earned a master’s degree in public administration from Brigham Young University, and had just started a job running business internships with Utah Valley University in Provo.
