EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!

Mama Florence is getting a new birthing center!!!!





I want to start out by saying THANK YOU!!!!! to Keltie McDonald!!!

While I was in Uganda in December, Keltie contacted me about helping Kamengo. We discussed the needs of the village and the project she felt drawn to was a new birthing center for Mama Florence. So she got together with some of her friends and started raising money. They raised $3000 and 3 of the ladies are on their way to Uganda as we speak to visit Kamengo and see a dream being built.

The new building will be large enough to hold 2 to 3 beds and a crib. It will have new beds and new equipment for Mama Florence!! It will provide a safer place for the mothers of Kamengo to give birth to the future of Kamengo.

We will be posting construction updates as we get them.

If you haven't visited the Olwazzi Ministries blog or facebook page, please go check them out and keep going back for updates.

I Want to Give Them Jesus!!

I know in my earlier post I said I sucked as a blogger. I also said that I was busy. I was busy organizing and starting a project that means so much to me. When God called me to adopt, I thought it was just 2 children. Little did I know that He would give me a heart for a country and a longing to do whatever I could to help the people there. Please take a minute and go to the Olwazzi Ministries blog. Take a look at what we are hoping to do in Kamengo-ffunvu, Uganda. Think and pray about helping us. If you get a chance go and like our facebook page.


God called us to be doers of the word, not just hearers.

Let's Face It...

I suck as a blogger. I have all of these wonderful ideas of things that I want to write about and never get it down on 'electronic paper'. This is another thing that I hope to get better at in 2012, if there are any of you out there that still care.

I am going to be posting about Uganda and all that happened while I was there soon. Trying not to tease, but this mama is BUSY!!!

Thankful Diary--Day 9

I am thankful for my students. Each class is unique! Every student is special! They usually teach me more than I teach them;).

Thankful Diary--Day 8

I am thankful for my Aunt Martha. She travelled to Uganda with me and never slowed down in her work at the orphanage or with the children. I would not have been able to travel back with 2 children without her. She is a great example of what a Christian woman should be!! She cares for everyone she comes into contact with!
