Whirlwind Missions

Our housing situation is really weird. The hotel said we don’t have the room we’ve been staying in for the last five weeks because someone else had a reservation for the weekend. Today they said, “We’re 100% full, you can come back next week.” I’m looking at them like they’re on crack. We’ve been here for 5 weeks and now they think we’ve just got some place else to stay?! Good grief. We may try and get an apartment around here, but even that is a huge hassle. Turn on utilities, transfer stuff, get furniture. . . . not like I don’t have enough stress in my life.

I took a group from Briarcliff Baptist Church on a visit to the International Village this afternoon.

I gave them a quick briefing on our work at the missions then took them on a tour of Asian Square and Carneceria #1.

They saw Asia and Central America up close and personal in an hour. They couldn’t believe the diversity of where we work!

J and I went to help Bill Hickey get some stuff for the mission where he’s living. Our ministry also helps him with marta passes and phone stuff. He’s been a huge help to us. I’m glad we can help him too.

We went to check on the mission at Azalea. We had fun helping Famedha learn how to juggle. Jesse was pretty good!

A partner of mine brought over about ten used computers. I’ll have some of the guys at the mission that are interested in working on computers take a look at them.

Had a fantastic storm tonight. I thought some of the cloud formations were just incredible!

Weird too because some of the clouds looked green.

These formations are called “mammatus.”

They’re associated with very strong storms.

After the storm, a beautiful sunset. That’ll preach!
