The Waffle Lady's Finest Moment

You all know how God works. He works in "mysterious ways, His wonders to perform". Not too long ago I, before I sold the Waffle Lady Restaurant to Bad to the Bone-BBQ I was in the Restaurant on a sunday morning when the most wonderful man from Uganda, Africa was introduced to me by a regular customer & his son.
We all started talking about an orphanage in Uganda where the children & staff plant, grow & eat organic foods. I was fascinated by this & suggested he take some Waffle & Pancake Mix, as well as some Jumbleberry & Coconut~Vanilla Bean Syrup back to his country.
I really thought he might have some trouble getting my products into another country, but to my amazement I received the following e-mail & the most wonderful pictures from the children. When I read the e-mail I started crying, called Brent & said I had something wonderful to share with him. I drove to meet him for breakfast and he cried too. He said, "Well, Jeanne, it doesn't get better than this!
I am attaching this e-mail to share with all of you.
Dear "waffle Lady"/Jeanne,
Dear "waffle Lady"/Jeanne,
Greeting from this side of the world!!!
I hope you still remember me? I am sorry that it took me all this long to get back to you.
I am James Mutaka Kroll from Uganda. On 9th March 2008, a friend of mine called Steven Earnshaw brought me into your restaurant for breakfast and I happened to meet you. I had a wonderful taste of Waffles that day.
Furthermore, you donated to us/me the waffle mix. I waited for most of our kids to be back from school. This week as we ended the school break in style, by having waffle for breakfast. It was so amazing and the memory came back to me. I remember how warmly and loving you were. Thanks for your hospitality and genuine heart. I told the project children how we met, read your story them and they were touched amidst increasing food prices.
One of the kid jokingly said that we now taste "Mzungu" (white people) food from all the way from "California". Another one said I will tell my family and friends how the food tastes.
Anyhow, simple sacrifice and sharing heart can mean a lot. As I was eating the Pan cake by Sarah, then I thought about Jesus Fedding the 5,000. The little we give touches many souls and makes us appreciate life.
We will keep in touch and thanks again.
Enjoy the photos of the last California Waffle mix.
May God Bless you abundantly,
Love,
James Mutaka Kroll,
