From Liberia

Boarding the flight from Brussels to Chicago were a number of youth in shirts saying Ricks Institute. I said to one that I used to live there, and asked what the connection was. She said they'd been there through Mercer University, apparently student teaching.

I also saw, but did not meet, a very busy woman who I instantly identified as a missionary. I asked myself why and realized: White woman in an African print dress with no bracelets or other jewelry.
