{"product_id":"9781689385985","title":"Don't Drink the Water!","description":"In 1963, with a teaching fellowship in hand, I set off for a much desired adventure to teach English to Colombians in Cartagena, Colombia at an American government-sponsored language school. I expected to hone my Spanish, to have fun and bask in the tropical sun, to explore and create a year full of memories to share with a family and friends when I returned home. However, God apparently had other plans for me. What followed was a daily test of my faith. It began with the first drink of water I had on my first day, and went downhill from there. From a lost suitcase, to a multitude of mosquitoes who \"welcomed\" me on my first night, to visits by other critters, several mice and a bat. There was also a near-rape, an attack on our truck by the communists deep in the jungle, and several mysterious illnesses that gradually wore me down. I was hospitalized. The clincher was getting the test results back, and the doctor's prognosis that I would die if I stayed in Cartagena a day longer. But getting home was also a problem: I didn't have enough money! How I prayed to God for guidance and help! \"Rely on Me, He said, not yourself.\" Ingeniously, God had a plan to get me home. Praise be to God for His saving grace!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eSandy Ludwig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eSep 30, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e162 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1689385987\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781689385985\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50352175055153,"sku":"9781689385985","price":13.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781689385985__81900.jpg?v=1732295694","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781689385985","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
