At Moody, her energies were then focused on the Tibeto-Burman Lisu people, on the China-Burma border, after meeting and hearing Mr. Frasier speak at The Firs and being convinced that was what God wanted her to do. Although she missed a semester of school because of illness, she graduated from Moody as valedictorian in December, 1926. At the school she had participated in open-air preaching, playing piano at a boy's reformatory, and working in neighborhood visitation ministries. For the most part, she also worked through school to pay her way, though she also received unexpected financial support when it was needed. At Moody she also met her future husband, John Becker Kuhn, whom she once called "another dreamer". He had started school a year earlier than his bride-to-be, and went to China alone, as was the mission's counsel at the time concerning unmarrieds when only one of them had been accepted by the mission.
