I have quite a heart for missions and adore reading stories, insights, struggles, and wonders that those who are missionaries endure or share. Susan was/is a missionary through Mennonite Central Committee in Bolivia and El Salvador daily dealing with the guerrilla warfare and the politics and government issues that they would go through. She shares how even though there is a lot of gruesome stuff she has seen while doing medical caring and helping guide people to Jesus, there is beauty there as well. She gives a lot of details and some hard things are in these stories that are very sad. She shares how she struggled a lot being in these places as her parents suffered and died during the turmoil of daily war she lived in. She definitely went through a vast amount of emotions while loving those at home and longing to be with them but seeing her family as those around her in El Salvador. It was a very touching story. I really had no idea what this was going to be about when I started to read it and I am pleasantly happy that I decided to read it.
