While serving as a missionary, Baird experienced action-packed fun, adventure, laughter, heartache, tears, and discouragement. Her collection of short stories is full of memories from her personal journals kept while serving in Indonesia. Baird uses true life stories from her first few years of experiencing language and culture in Papua as a personal challenge for readers who say they could never live in a foreign country.

This is truly an inspirational and very funny book written by a missionary in Indonesia.
Each story about adjusting to a new culture is at times hysterical and awakening at the same time. With each experience, the author shows how she adapted to a new world to accept those around her. A Good read!
a rare find!
I love hearing missionary stories but it's rare to find a whole book about them! This book is such a fun read and a great reminder that our cultural differences across the globe can bring opportunities for bonding and spreading the gospel.
