Kirsten’s Legacy On November 18, 2009, I received a call from my sister-in-law, Karen, her voice fraught with worry and confusion: “Kirsten never showed up to her second grade classroom today. The principal just called to tell us she’s missing. Please pray they find her and that she’s OK.” I knew at that moment that something terrible must have happened to our Kirsten, who was serving as a student missionary on the North Pacific island of Yap, because she would never just not show up to her classroom.
