Publisher's Summary

Being a missionary in Ivory Coast, West Africa, is not only about dangers, hard work, and culture shock, interspersed with moments of high joy and deep sorrow. It is life found in the small and daily things, the quotidian experience that renders familiar a vastly different way of life, a life at the edge of the village.

This book collects Lisa Leidenfrost's sketches of missionary life, compiled from letters sent home from Ivory Coast to her church in the United Sates, and they tell of the ordinary and extraordinary, the solemn and the playful, the mundane and the exotic—all coming together to create a down-to-earth portrait of the Gospel at work in a family and a society.
