I just recently returned from two weeks in Uganda. I spent time with children who have been orphaned by AIDS and taught them about the message and love of Jesus Christ.
Meet Nangobi. She's 9 years old and is an orphan. She lives in Namugongo, Uganda, in a place known as "The Blue House" with all of her brothers and sisters. She's the most precious human being I've ever met.
Words cannot describe the love that this little girl has shown to me or the ways that she's changed my life. A bond so strong, created in such a short amount of time. I miss her dearly and I'm already looking forward to the time in which we'll get to meet again, hopefully sooner rather than later. Let me know if you want to hear stories-I have plenty.
In preparation for the trip, I thought of the many ways that I had hoped to bring joy into the lives of the children. The irony of that thought makes me laugh...I think I'm the lucky one.
To my family in Uganda, you're in my thoughts and prayers always.
So many beautiful children with stories to tell and smiles that make the world a warmer place.
This is awesome Taylor. You must have touched the lives of those children in a big way. I'm also glad your life was touched in a special way. I feel like I was a part of the experience and it's such a blessing you got to share your large heart with them.
