Learning to be a Missionary in a Foreign Land requires that a person not only learn the language of the country but also the culture and way of thinking of the people in that land. The author was blessed to have help and guidance in working with the ethnic Karens of Burma, then Thailand, and the Karens living in the USA. God used her to help in Christian Education, Women's Work, in preparation of language lessons, both for those needing to learn the language and for Karens illiterate in their own language.
