The seven unique stories included here are the true accounts told by members of Wycliffe Bible Translators who served in various foreign fields. They include unusual situations that brought them together as partners. Humor blends with difficulties they had before and after marriage. We also get glimpses into the kind of work each was doing in the larger effort to provide Gods Word to every person in his own heart language.

Olga Warner grew up on a Michigan farm during the Depression. After discovering the joy of living for Jesus, she began thinking of becoming a missionary. Her first office job paid 20¢ an hour, and later jobs paid 40¢, but they helped pay college expenses. She graduated from Chicago Evangelistic Institute and Greenville College, Illinois.

Olga taught two years at a small mission school in Laredo, Texas. While studying at the Summer Institute of Linguistics at Oklahoma State University, Olga applied to Wycliffe Bible Translators and was accepted. For several years she worked in the Publications Department in Mexico City where materials were published in previously unwritten languages.
She served on the staff of the Pavilion of 2000 Tribes at the New York World's Fair during the summers of 1964 and 1965. Later she worked as a caseworker for New York City. At a Bible conference Olga met Bill Penzin, whom she married and lived with in Brooklyn for 14 years. After his death, she moved to Waxhaw, North Carolina, and volunteered as a tour guide with JAARS. The desire to be a writer always remained, so while at JAARS she was a member of a writer's club and self-published a book of poetry. Olga Penzin now lives in a retirement community in South Carolina.
