Spiritual Preparation

I've got just over 3 months until my departure! I'm anxious for it to be here now, but I know that a lot needs to happen before then: I'm a little over 50% of the way to my goal for donations and saving, I've got a lot of curriculum, arts and crafts and general stuff to collect for my trip and the kids (I think Mom is going to prove very useful in that department)! But mostly, I also have a lot of spiritual preparedness to undergo.
I just finished this book my dear friend Sandra gave me in preparation for this mission trip, it's called Katie with Kisses, the book is written by a young woman who gave up her life in America for 14 children in Uganda. Let me tell you, I cried almost every time I picked up the book (and really I'm not a crier). I cried because there is so much need, I cried because the children impacted by Katie are constantly in a state of feeling blessed and praising God, and I cried because God chose me to love on His precious children.
These are the precious ones I will be living and loving in Kampala:

Please pray for Rafiki Africa Ministries, for each individual child, and my spiritual preparedness.
