I Want to Be Like Bougainvillea Carolyn Potts Simoneaux Ed D

I Want to Be Like Bougainvillea is a book of true stories about a missionary family's adventures in Kenya, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Botswana from 1979-1991. The stories of travel, hunting trips, boarding school, sickness, hardship, miracles, heartbreak, and joy will bless and inspire those needing encouragement. There are places where you will cry as the family faces sickness and hardship, and places you will laugh at things that can only happen in Africa. Throughout the book is woven a genuine Christian worldview of life on the mission field. The author takes you from language school in Kenya, to survival in socialist Tanzania, on to Sierra Leone, a country perched on the edge of civil war, then, finally down to prosperous, westernized Botswana.
