New Adventures.

I'm laying on a church pew in North Carolina waiting for our morning worship to start. Today marks the halfway mark on tour, we officially only have three months left. Being that I have only been here 23 days, this isn't as much as a deal for me as it is the other chaperones. Sure, I cry every time I watch them perform. I cry when I think about saying goodbye, but I can't let the idea of saying goodbye to these babes hold me back from living in the moment. 

As you know I am leading a trip to Uganda in July, I will be home from tour for 5 days and then I gather my team and load onto an airplane. My trip with Visiting Orphans will last until the 16th. However, Darya (a chaperone alongside of me on this tour) and I will be staying behind for two more weeks. We will get to see how this ministry works, firsthand. We will go to the ARM (Africa Renewal Ministries) office to see how things are ran. We will also be going to the Mwangza House to meet the new children who will be traveling to the states on the next tour. Not sure what all we will be doing, we know that we will get to see some of our kiddos while we are there, at their homes. 

Last night as Loyce took her bubble bath, she asked me if I had brothers. When I told her no, she told me that I could have one of hers. She has 4 brothers and one little sister.  She told me all about her farm life. Her parents have crops and she has sheep. She told me that she lived in the same village as Auntie Florence, which is a village we will be visiting. 

I cannot wait to see Loyce in Uganda. I cannot wait to meet her family and see her pet sheep. This journey will be a long one. Coming home from this long tour and heading into new adventures overseas. Saying my goodbyes will be the hardest thing I've ever done im sure, but when Jesus places passion He places love. I know that these kids love me and I love them. We will not forget each other and as they say "if I do not see you again on earth, I will see you in heaven"-- 

Details of my trip in Uganda are being finalized. This does not change the price of my trip, I am just needing the money a tiny bit more. 

This life isn't mine, if it was if be home watching Netflix.
