Part I

 

The Author’s Story:

Can This Be Me?

 

            When Marjory Foyle wrote her autobiography, she noted that she and her sister had talked about people who write their autobiographies and concluded that such people must be proud and self-centered.  However, other people often told her that she should write her autobiography so that people could learn how God works in human lives.  I have not had people urge my autobiography, but I have had missionaries interested in becoming member care providers ask to hear my story about how I got into member care.

            This is not a full autobiography, but it is the story of my becoming involved in member care.  It includes information about my becoming involved in missions generally, as well as specifically how I became involved in member care.  There is no mystery about my being involved in missions because I have been exposed to missions all my life and at least involved in terms of praying for missions and giving to missions.  However, my personal involvement in member care, and especially in writing resources for missionaries, would not have been expected from my abilities in early life.  That is the reason for the title, Can this be me?
