This time last year I had just arrived to Uganda for the very first time to work with the babies at Watoto child care ministries. This time last year I was missing home so much and feeling very unsure about this adventure that I had just embarked on. This time last year I was starting an adventure that was about to change my life forever!
And now I'm planning to go back. I've been back home for eight months now and not a day has gone by that I’ve not thought about all the precious babies that I was so blessed to work with day in and day out for three months. Now as I've said I'm in the planning stages to head back and invest in the little lives of those babies once again.
I've heard so many people in churches say how when you go to Africa you always leave a piece of your heart there. It just has a way of grabbing your life and changing it leaving you with an almost crippling desire to go back and see more, serve more, and help more. And let me tell you this is SO true! The people that I met while I spent my time in Uganda are some of the most amazing people I've ever met. The nannies at the babies home sacrifice so much to care for these children day in and day out. The people who run Watoto church and Watoto ministries have such a passion to help those in need that it stirs something in you to do the same.
I cannot wait to go back and serve with this amazing ministry. And because of my family, friends and church family who've supported be both financially and with prayer this passion in my heart to serve with Watoto is becoming more and more possible each and every day!
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
With love,
Jaclyn
