I truly dread saying goodbye. Last year, I was so looking forward to coming to Uganda and all God had in store, but I hated even the thought of saying farewell to my family and friends. This year, it is not much different. I am so excited to see and hug my family and friends back home, but I am having a very hard time even thinking of saying goodbye to my Rafiki family. I expected it to be hard. So, this is not a surprise. I just hate that sometimes joyous reunions mean pain in other relationships.
Despite these feelings of sadness, I am encouraged by all that God has done this year - in my life, in the lives of these children, in my relationship with Him. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have met and come to love more of His people around the world. I am so grateful for each of you who has been an integral part of this ministry. Because of you, I know this is not a lasting goodbye for many of the relationships I have formed; for I know that I will see many of these precious faces again, if not here on this earth, then in heaven. Thank you for allowing me to share my heart and journey with you. I pray that this will not be the last! For now, tunaalabagana!
