Why did I go to Uganda, you ask?





Here is the list I kept while I was in Uganda and I would discover another purpose of why I was there. . . .

--to depend on the Lord physically, emotionally, mentally

--to see Him through their eyes

--to learn about ARM and tell others about it

--to assist and encourage teacher Eve & Francis

--to gain direction for my future

--to gain wisdom from Francis about parenting, ministry, Africa, orphans

--to share some of God through my eyes with them

--to see ways in which I want to raise my own children

--to learn some practical skills like taking care of babies

--to give love and attention and care to babies who need it as well as the children

--to help get Raymond to university

--to communicate the Father’s love to the Alma house simply by BEING here and given them

attention

--to teach me how to become a person who savors and appreciates fully everything I do & I have

--to take Africa off its pedestal and make it real

--to be humbled and learn about my self

--to help sponsor the Alma house

Ultimately, to form relationships with some incredible children and be their "Auntie."
