"If you wish to enlighten a room, you carry a light and set it down in it, and the darkness will disperse of itself." In 1848, Melinda Rankin went alone to the newly annexed Texas as a single woman, seeking to share the gospel in Mexico. *Disclaimer* Unfortunately, there was a fair bit of rain as this episode was recorded.
