Celie finds Nettie’s many letter and it shows Celie a whole new world. Nettie shares what a challenge a missionary is and what its like.

4. Smuggling Bibles! Smuggling bibles is simply one of the most dangerous jobs a missionary has to do. Some places don’t allow bibles, like China, you could get killed or put in prison if you are caught with a bible!

5. It’s a dangerous job! Being a missionary can be a very dangerous job. Especially if you go to a communist country. (communist: the government runs everything.) If you get caught being a missionary you could be killed or put in prison.
