I'm here!!! Oh my goodness!!

I've been in Africa now for three days! What a culture!! There are so many new things that I have to get used to including transportation!! I have been working with the babies now since day one and I am loving it so much. I was able to take a baby with me to church as well as to the mall and for lunch. There are about thirty babies at the home that I am at all with various hardships and troubles but each of them have a smile that takes my breath away! I am not able to put pictures up of the babies unless I get permission from Watoto so there may be some coming in the following blogs. I miss you all so much and can't wait to hear from you. Please feel free to email me anytime I love being able to feel connected to you all.
Talk to you all again soon.
Be blessed.

  1. Oh my goodness. I can't believe that you are in AFRICA! Wow. I bet it is a huge culture shock - I will be praying for you. I can't imagine working with adorable little babies alllll day. What a blessing to be able to impact their lives in the way that you are! Love you.

  2. So very excited for you my sister, I can not wait to see pictures.
    The thoughts of coming over to visit my family and you as well are plaguing me. Wishing life could be that easy as to hop on a plane and come join you.

    I know God has you in His perfect plan and I am trusting Him to do great and mighty things through you and for you.

    Blessing my dear sister

  3. Hi Jaclyn,

    I'm glad you're doing well in Africa, we're all very proud of you. I just saw your mom and dad yesterday and they obviously miss you but are so excited you get to experience a different culture, and it must be quite a shock being in such a unique place where you are. Have fun and take it all in, you are one of the strongest women I know. Miss you, and can't wait to hear more about your adventures.

    Love,
    Camille
