Sad that she died so young. And makes me wonder what happened to all of those poor orphans. Wonder if they died too or taken for slaves. Very interesting Nancy. Thanks for this article. More history learned. I would love to have the book of her letters.

Have you ever considered being a missionary, or been on the mission field? Have you ever been discouraged when sharing your faith - perhaps over a lack of interest in the people you are reaching out to? I'd love to hear from you.Nancy J Farrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566747643718758182noreply@blogger.com
