Amon / Clay Mellsen (ePub)

I was raised on a farm in a small town called Standard, in central Alberta, the oldest of four children. I graduated from high school in Standard and after driving truck for a couple of years started apprenticing as a heavy duty mechanic in Drumheller Alberta. I had gone to church all my life, and knew the Lord, but being of service to Him was not on my radar screen.

It was not long before I found out she was planning on being a missionary and if I was to have any interest in her, I better be thinking along the same lines. She was going to get her nursing degree and go overseas. It's a long story, but the short of it is in February 1983, we took our three children, hopped on a plane and headed off to Pakistan. We came and went from Pakistan several times, spending about fifteen years total working in that country. We all loved it. The last few years were very dangerous at times because the Taliban had become strong and we worked in a hospital in the middle of their territory, I as operations manager and Brenda as the nursing superintendent.
