Dear Friends,

I hope this email finds you well.

Wanted to pass-along my whereabouts and warn you of a lacking correspondence through August. Freshman year of grad-school is complete and I’m grateful to share that my summer will be spent in Jinja, Uganda. The first week will be sporadic in location and service, but my remaining time will be at Amani Baby Cottage (www.amanibabycottage.org), which houses orphaned and HIV/AIDS infants. Days will take part in mundane and massive roles like sweeping floors, changing diapers and holding babies—a dream and honor that exceeds words.

Time online will be sparse, but I’ll update the journal at www.keepingyourfaith.com as often as possible. Snail mail will be an option, too (delivery ranges from 2-3 weeks):

Amani Baby Cottage
Att: Abbie Smith
P.O. Box 1799
Jinja, Uganda

May the Rest of God go boldly before your summer.
With Love,
abbie
