Abstract:
'Honey and onions,' an Arab idiom meaning there are sweet as well as bitter days, aptly describe the author's life abroad, where interruptions and problems mingled with humor and beautiful, unexpected miracles.

African bugs and floods, dog meat and threats in Java, bullets in the West Bank, and Mexican angels were encountered with fortitude because of the compelling love of Jesus.

During Virginia's more than fifty years of adventures in India, Israel and fifteen short-term missions in a variety of countries, God clearly and repeatedly proved that He faithfully fulfilled the promises in His Word.
