Little did she know the twists and turns her life would first take. After graduating from nursing school, Elizabeth married USAF pilot Richard Engkjer. The couple moved from coast to coast with their three children, finally settling in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. The couple participated and led in the resettlement of Vietnamese and Laotian families. The entire family went to Jamaica with Christian Medical and Dental Society, and Elizabeth spent two summers in the jungle of Belize on medical missions to indigenous families. In 1997, Elizabeth was coaxed to join a women's mission trip to Ecuador. This initiated twenty-five years in El Florón. Richard ultimately built a mini water purification plant next to the clinic. The Engkjers have three married children and six grandchildren.view less
