So I decided I should explain all of this a little better....
When I found out that Deb was adopting a baby from Uganda I thought that it was really neat but nothing more. Then one day my mom and I were driving in the car and I just said, "Hey. Do you think Deb will take me with her?" I kinda thought that mom would just laugh at me but instead she said that I should go for it and give her a presentation of why I should go. I kept saying that I knew the answer would be "no" but mom said, "Its Debbie... you never know." :) So I prepared for Deb a presentation that gave her all the reasons I thought I should go. You can check it out here. Here are some of my reasons:
The main reason I want to go is because I want to help out the kids over there sooo bad. I feel like I can work with the kids and be their friend. Then I just recently went on a missions trip to Tennessee and I acquired a heart for helping people out. After Deb said that I could go with her but she would like it if I could raise money for the orphans, I immediately started thinking about how I could help. This experience of trying to raise money and soo exciting. So by raising money, I feel like I can help so much more. Also, I think that this experience will be life changing and maybe a start for more of things like this for me. To see the way those people live I feel like I will become so much more grateful for the things I have. (I already feel more grateful and that's just from reading books!) And last, I think that this trip will look really good on a college application saying that I had experience in another country working with another culture.
Keep your eyes out for a GREAT bag we will be selling to raise funds. It is cute, cute, cute!!! And, if you want to donate, see the chip-in below. AND, if you want to follow along the process, you can go to Deb's blog HERE.
So there are just a few points for why I feel like I should do this. Thank you for your prayers! Kathryn
