Fromthis point Maria began her whole-hearted pursuit of God and she heard almost immediately His calling voice to the work of evangelism. She couldn’t imagine this however since she was a woman and so assumed the call would have to wait until she married a missionary. Her plans on how she would position herself for this included going away for a formal education in ministry where she would inevitably meet and marry the man who would make her obedience complete. When tragedy struck her family with her father’s death these plans were put on hold and feared never to be lived out. Forced to seek work away fromhome to help support the family of eight children she would mourn her father’s death and the loss of her hopes for ministry working in a stranger’s kitchen. She was painfully homesick and buried herself in God’s Word committing verses to memory as she worked.
