What an amazing three months I really can’t believe that this is coming to an end. Looking back at my time here in Uganda I’m reminded of all the great things that God has done in my life. He has taught me what it really means to rely on Him for absolutely everything! He has shown me what it means to love unconditionally, generously and continually.
So it’s time to start saying goodbye to some amazing people. I’ve been asking myself the past few days how do I even go about this. It seems like it is almost impossible to do. I’ve worked with, lived with and learned with these people every day for three months they have changed and transformed my life through their love for God and their wiliness to serve Him with a passion that has challenged me daily. I’m going to miss each and every one of them.
Like I have said this has been an amazing journey it has truly been a blessing to love on these babies. What a reward it is to walk into the baby’s home and be greeted by children with open arms who are so excited that you’re there to play with them all day long. One of the most rewarding parts of working in the baby’s home is being a part of helping babies and young children adjust to living there. It’s amazing to watch them come in timid and hurting and within days see them gain courage, strength, joy and comfort. One of the children was asked do you miss your old school and friends and they said “I like it here much better.” It is only God that can bring this peace over a child who has been terrible pain.
Watoto is an amazing ministry and I feel overjoyed knowing that I have been able to serve them and be a part of the great works that they are doing in Africa. I pray that God continues to use this ministry and these people to reach out and change the lives of so many people in this beautiful country. Thank you so much to everyone back home for your prayer and support without you I wouldn’t have been able to experience any of this.
