MIDLAND, TEXAS - Natalie Rolfe, 28, begins each day at 6 a.m., waiting for the sun to rise. She goes for a run through the streets on the outskirts of the lush, green town of Mbale in Uganda. As she runs, children come out to greet her and follow her on her journey. Some drop off when they reach their school; others simply follow Rolfe until they venture too far from home to continue. Forty-five minutes later, the missionary is at work, happily greeting and socializing with her Ugandan co-workers. She plays games with and tickles children who call her "teach-ah" and "Auntie Na-TAH-lie."
This was once only a nondescript dream for a 14-year-old Rolfe living in Austin, who had an inexplicable curiosity about Africa and the children who lived there. She said there was no explanation but that God had written Africa into her future plans.
