Kim Hartlinger had her bags packed and ready for a mission trip. She is late arriving with her crew, paying extra for her heavy bags, and her watch is wrong. If that wasn’t enough, she missed an email that detailed her upcoming trip – which changed.
She is on her way to Mexico to a village with no plumbing, electricity, or a decent place to sleep. She is a typical spoiled brat but is stubborn enough to go ahead and rough it out with the rest of them.
Kim learns that she will help rebuild homes in a remote village. Then she breaks her arm. Now what? God breaks through Kim’s heart through a precious girl named Anjelita and her mother, Rosa.
Kim reads from the Bible to the villagers in Spanish. Kim’s attempt to speak Spanish seems useless. She is not fluent in Spanish- not even close. The villagers have to correct her pronunciation. How can an entire group of evangelists go to Mexico with no Spanish to translate? Kim’s only option is to trust God.
Through a precious relationship with Anjelita, Kim learns to care for someone other than herself for a change. Kim is a big sister to Anjelita. Kim attempts to communicate with her surrogate little sister but it’s difficult for them both.
This would be a good book for someone who may want to go into missions. It is a sweet story about a young girl who had her own plans. But God intervened with His plans.
