Overview

Arriving in West Africa for the first time, 28-year-old Katy Sanders feels like she is on another planet. With her husband John, Katy does sixteen months of French study in Switzerland, spends three months in Cameroon learning about African living, and then moves into a mud hut with a grass roof in Benin to do linguistic research, translation and literacy work. Katy writes letters back home recounting her honest reactions, feelings, and changing perspectives as she encounters a larger world. She learns to haggle in the market, scrub laundry in the river, make sausage from a hairy pig leg, speak an unwritten language and change diapers with a flashlight in her mouth. She copes with cowbells at 5:30a.m., chickens in the bedroom, rebellious goats, endless mosquitoes, random bats, and a renegade turkey. Under the constant gawking of curious neighbors, she adapts to a new way of life and then finds she is expecting her first child. Follow the Sanders as they journey to different countries and face life-changing experiences that challenge their faith and bring them closer to God.
