Missionary teacher Natalie Rolfe writes, "'When He calls me, I will answer ... I'll be somewhere working for my Lord.' My call was Mbale, Uganda and that is where I have returned to serve for another year. Specifically, I am teaching phonics at Lulwanda Children's Home, an orphanage and school for 90 kids." Natalie also keeps an online journal of her service at the weblog, When He calls me, I will answer ...Cultural Moments
"There are still moments, despite the 3 years I have spent in Africa, that I am still caught off guard by the sheer difference in culture or reality (in comparison to how I have grown up knowing life),” Natalie writes. "For those who have been here awhile and “ culture shock” has ideally warn off, we call these times of realization, cultural moments. Really, I think they are one in the same. And if I am honest with myself, I pray that I will never grow immune to these cultural moments. I don’t want things to be too normal or unmoving because then I am less likely to be seeing the hand of God.”
