i don't play favorites...

this smile keeps me going on my rough days.
I am in love with this child....despite trying NOT to play favorites he is on my lap all day everyday or hugging me or taking pictures with me...i am such a terrible volunteer lol.
more of my favorite.... :0)
I taught nantale to say "quit creepin" now she give you this look when you tell her to "give em the creepin look" we took turns :0)

that one was hers
my turn





so this week i learned how to say i love you in luganda so i could tell joswa that i loved him (the little boy) he is a full orphan and i don't think anyone has ever told him that they loved him. he jumped up and danced around and hugged me...he didn't even know how to say i love you too...he's never had to. it was one of those beautiful moments that i'll treasure everyday for the rest of my life. i think i'm going to begin sponsoring him so he can get a good education. it's so inexpensive here....like $200 for a FULL year of private school. anyhow if you think about it be praying for me on that decision. love you all.

Hey Amanda. I love all of your pictures and your posts. I think you are one of the most amazing and courageous people I know. I hope your stay in Uganda continues to teach you about human life, suffering, hope, and love.

All the best,
