I have fallen in love. His name is Benja and he lives at the Amani Baby Cottage in Jinga (Uganda). He's three years od. OMG he is the cutest think EVER! He has big eyes and he follows me everywhere!Today, the kids all learned how to say "I love you" in English. They even added hand motions... pointing to their eyes for "I," crossing their arms across their chest for "love" and pointing to me for "you." I helped (or tried) with feeding, playing and holding! These kids really need to be held and loved... and many are very sick. Moses is very sick and I'm worried about him.
Some are HIV positive and some have tuberculosis. Some of these kids were dropped off at the orphanage and others were just found in a pile of trash. It's so sad
sometimes.But then there are the stories like Josie and Asher and Joseph and Daisy that are being adopted by godly people like the Mayernicks, Kecks and Oatsvalls! Everything points back to God, doesn't it? Maybe I will get to adopt Moses one day!
