I really hate to suggest too much for these types of books because I feel the prayer/missions themes are stronger if they originate from the child themselves, which always makes these books a challenge to do.  

Chapter 1: Don’t Let Her Die

Chapter 2: I Let My Dream Die!

  • Draw a Picture of Your Future Life

Chapter 3: An Isolated Sand Bar

Chapter 4: What Have We Gotten Ourselves Into?

  • This chapter includes several meal recipes, since there isn’t much food in the rest of the book you might wish to spread a few options out over a few days and compare/contrast. 
    • Enjoy Mangoes and Cokes
    • Soft Rice (by soft rice, all I can find is fluffy white rice, probably overcooked) with Vienna Sausages or Hard Rice (it looks like this would be one type of “hard” rice) with Vegetable Soup
    • Black Beans with Canned Mackerel
    • Cold Rice Wrapped in Banana Leaves with hard-boiled eggs
  • Town Mentioned in Book: Nantonin (Balangao represents the teal section towards the center of the map shown at the beginning). You can see a lot of the culture such as the rice terraces, mountains, and villages. It also mentions Dr. Robespierre Lim and the helicopter crash, and the author of this book Joanne Shetler, along with some photographs of them. 

Chapter 5: I’ll Be Your Father
