Ever since Dr. Bob Bowers and his wife, Marion, returned from African six years prior, they had been open to and interested in returning to overseas missionary work. When they were invited by AEF, a mission organization in Southern Africa, to work at Luampa Hospital in western Zambia, they didn't hesitate. The plan to be there for three months turned into a year with a very surprising and unexpected turn of events in the middle. In letters written back to his family in America, Dr. Bowers tells in real time of the medical work, spiritual opportunities, cultural observations and Marion's varied teaching opportunities during this delightful year.
