My Heart For Africa

January 17th 2011, a day that forever changed my life.  A young African mom and her newborn twin girls came to live with me. Little did I know the plans God had in the works, giving me such a heart for Africa, to go along with the love I already had for children. Helping to raise them and learning from their mom about Africa, how could I not feel the call to go and serve?

3 years old, time has gone by so   fast!  They call me maman Nicole! They stole my heart!  I love going to Africa but I miss them so much!  






I arrived in Uganda on Tuesday night.. what a change in climate!   My travels went smoothly, and I was blessed with no one sitting next to me on either of my 9 hr flights, so I could sleep!  I am thrilled to be back!  I am currently staying with 6 other girls from all over the USA and even a girl from Windsor (Kaity) !!! No chance for me to get homesick!!  I have been fortunate to be placed in the nursery!  12 of the stinkin cutest babies ever!!!  2 are rooming with us as there was a measles outbreak and we don't want the two littlest ones to catch them!  I will update this again, it's been a long week and I need my rest for church in the morning!   Miss and love you all <3
