description: Today's missionaries have an easy time of it compared with those who served overseas a hundred years ago. Harry and Nora Anderson arrived on the property that later became Solusi Mission in 1895 after a six-week trek, much of it by bullock-drawn wagons. Together with the missionaries that accompanied them, they endured severe hardships, especially during the Matabele uprising, and subsequently when some of them died with a particularly virulent type of malaria known as blackwater fever. Yet they did not give up. One of the reasons for their resiliency was their ability to see humor in their difficult situations.
