Synopsis
Who thought we would be missionaries? We were educators who planned to retire and take it easy. But our plans changed when we sensed God urging us to Africa to teach at Kenya Highlands Bible College. We were in our early fifties. Our son had one more year of college and was about to marry and begin his career in building construction. This would mean leaving excellent careers, our family, friends, and church. We began this journey with a year of fund raising necessary to sustain us in Kenya for at least three years. For the first time in my life I began keeping a journal. This daily routine would help me to record and bring to my awareness the emotions and thoughts that I was experiencing. I had met missionaries in my youth and had friends who were missionary children. But it never occurred to me that I would one day have this experience myself.
