She isn't there for the adventure or to live in an exotic way. She simply wants to spread the good news of salvation to people who wouldn't otherwise get a chance to hear. She teaches classes to people of all ages, tries to be involved in their lives and meets needs as they arise. She works with some other missionaries. She is a single missionary.
Holidays are particularly difficult.
But she manages to be creative and makes up ways to celebrate and keep her traditions. Sometimes she is included in the other missionary families' homes, and sometimes she invites others into hers. Recently she has begun to think about her safety. The church is evangelizing a poor neighborhood. One of the men who had been coming to church raped a woman in his housing project, and has left town.
