Currently pursuing a doctorate in physics at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, grew up in Cameroon, Central Africa. She began attending a Christian Science Sunday school at the age of seven, shortly after her mother read Science and Health and joined a neighborhood Christian Science branch church. Ms. Yitamben says, "I later made Christian Science my own by living it totally and trusting God with every single one of my decisions, including the decision to attend graduate school in physics in the US." Yitamben took time out from her studies to talk about what Christian Science means to her.
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
—PSALMS 143:8
