After four years in Missouri they moved with their two young children to Contamana, an Indian village in Eastern Peru on the Ucayali River, one of the headwaters of the Amazon. They spent several years learning Spanish and adapting to life in the jungle at Contamana, all whillst missionising to the indigenous people of the region. They moved in 1953, at the invitation of two Shipibo-Conibo Indian chiefs, and established a mission school at Caco, 500 miles upriver in the Amazonian jungle, where they remained for ten years."--Bookseller's description (Maggs Brothers).
