It was a red hot day in the big GA!

Temperatures just kept rising in the car.


YOW!

K and I watched some of Brave and MIB 3. We were a little too early for MIB3.

I liked them both ok. Neither was as good as I thought it was going to be.

Enjoying a nice rest day. Trying to keep cool. In the shade. Preferably with AC!

This morning I worked on editing the video for the Clements Baptist Church team.

It’s quite a process. First you have to edit the video. That includes doing all the graphics/titles. Then I lay a music background. Having a little music behind the video seems to really set the mood.

After the music I have to compress the file in order to upload it to YouTube. Over the years, I’ve been awarded a Director’s account. That means I can post video over 15 minutes long. The video I edited today was 27 minutes!

After uploading, I then burn a DVD for the church that I send to them by snail mail. It’s an even higher quality video that they can play at church. The YouTube video is also in HiDef!

I love this technology!

Kathy and I ate lunch at John Boy’s today. Great Southern cooking, by Koreans! I found this sign on the soap box interesting.

K and I watched a really cool Korean movie a couple of nights ago called “Castaway on the Moon.” It was a interesting piece. It’s available to stream on Netflix.

I have a spot on my arm that itches like poison ivy. That’s never zesty. ; (

Pray for Jesse as he’s looking for a place to stay in California. THANKS!

Did I mention it’s HOT? One really good reason to stay inside.

Got warm today. This is the hottest I’ve seen my car get so far this year.

Ashley and I had fun giving our last briefing to Clements BC this morning! We talked about folk Catholicism.

Then took them over to Plaza Fiesta! Always an assault on the senses!




Archangel Michael stomping out the devil.

I thought these wrestler masks were cool!

We see this a lot in Chamblee.

I liked this brain spray.

The team enjoyed eating Mexican food!

Enjoyed time with Ashley and Kathy!

We liked this big flip flop.

Then over to the missions to check on the kids.

Ashley and I shoot hundreds of pictures and videos of the teams.

Looking forward to a restful weekend. Glad to have a little break before the next team starts on Monday!

Working on admin duties now. Will start editing the video I shot, uploading and burning a dvd.

Ashley got a new phone cover at Plaza Fiesta. Muy groovy!

She’s my special sun flower!

This morning Ashley and I gave briefings on Islam and Hinduism!



Then we took them to Al Madina and Global Mall!

Some of the team ate lunch with us at Ashiana–Delicious Indian food!

We worked at the missions with the kids in the afternoon. Always fun!

K and I took Jesse to the airport today.

He’s headed back to California! He loves it there! Seeing that their high was about 80 and ours is 100, I can understand part of the appeal!

Sad to see him go.

Stayed up late last night working on my newsletter and labels. Got everything done!

Ashley and I gave a briefing on Buddhism to our great team from Clements BC this morning!

She’s awesome!
We took them to CD Tower, the Chinese pharmacy and Carneceria #1!

I teach them how to tell the difference between Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese.

Ashley and I enjoyed Malaysian for lunch.

The best part of the day is always working with the kids at the missions.

Ash and I went to Azalea to spend some time with our kids and to have them help us do the labels for the newsletter.

We give them doughnuts as a thank you. Always groovy!

Home now working on admin duties. Miles and Ashley are coming over to eat supper. Jesse leaves tomorrow for California. Sad about that. High temperature in Menlo Park this weekend is low 80s. High here? Over 100! Weather is definitely better on the West coast!

I liked these shoes.

I caught this moth fluttering on the ground. Released him into the air and he flew off. Made me happy.

Got pretty hot today!

Ashley and I had a fun time giving a briefing to our team from Clements Baptist Church, AL!

It’s always interesting to see the Buford Highway Farmers Market!

Always takes a lot of planning to make the teams work out!

Then the BEST part of the day: working with the kids at the missions!

SUPER tired on the way home. Didn’t get enough sleep last night. Had a short nap when I got home then started working on homework. I have a lot tonight, including my daily duties, writing my newsletter, writing a note for a friend for a new job and printing the labels for the newsletter. We’ll see if I get it all done!

Took a walk with Jesse yesterday.

Saw some beautiful flowers.

Saw this outdoor toilet.

I liked this name for a grandfather.

J leaves to go back to California on Wednesday. Sure am sad to see him go. 🙁

Had a fun time at church with the WHOLE family today!

Pastor Phil talked on patience. Not one of my strong points.

The little kids sang at church.

Ash and Miles are getting new photocards. I took some pictures from them to choose from.


The section on the right will have their contact info.
Home to rest and work on admin duties.

Had a needed rest day today!

Went for a 2.25 mile run. Normally that distance is no problem for me. Today I ran around noon in the full sun. Gotta say it was a lot more challenging. Took a while to cool off afterwards.

Ate pizza at Cicis for lunch.

Went to Walmart to pick up some supplies.

Came back home to take a nice siesta!

I like my new hat. It’s a lot cooler than my other straw hat.

This morning I edited the video I shot of the teams from last week. I usually put it all together then add a music track with an ethnic flavor.

After it’s edited, I burn dvds on my computer and put them in a little protective sleeve in preparation to send them to the team leaders.

Worked on my email. We’re getting new prayer cards made. We’re almost completely out.

I took Kathy and Jesse out for a delicious Greek gyro.

I really like Messinas on 29 in Lawrenceville. Good stuff.

Kathy and Jesse hung out at the Book Nook for a while while I put some gas in the car and cleaned the windshields which were awful.

After I was done, they still wanted to stay and look at books. Normally, I am the first person to go to the book store, but the Book Nook is not my cup of tea. Not a big selection and I tend towards the new releases, not old stuff.

So I went to Goodwill and looked for tshirts. I found a good one with Einstein writing on a black board. In big letters it says “Listen to the Genius.” On the black board it says “Give Blood.” I thought it was a witty production.

This evening I enjoyed hanging out with Tommy and Katie who will be married in a little over a month. I like to have a premarital counseling session. I wore my new shirt. I thought it was funny to be counseling someone with a shirt on that says, “Listen to the Genius.” ; )

After Goodwill I walked through the antique store. I found a new globe. It’s in great shape. My line in the sand is if the globe says Tanganyika rather than Tanzania. That happened in 1964. So nearly fifty years old. I’d say that 95% of the globes I look at say Tanzania.

I also collect Yoda, my favorite character from a movie series. I like this cup from 1999.

Lots of other weird things there. Here’s a couple more I liked.

Picked up K and J from the Book Nook and went to T&G to pick up my car. It passed the emission test! Yeah! But needed front brakes, so I spent $316 to get that done plus the emission test. The Expedition needed some work as well. Nearly $300 for that as well.

What has shocked us is that Kathy’s car, the old van has passed the test the last three years in a row. It passed again this year and so the total for her was only $25.

I picked up my car and went to Walmart. Had a couple of things I needed to pick up, like stamps and Halls cough drops.

While I was there I found a new straw hat. I needed a new one to replace, at least temporarily, my other hat. It’s too tight and hot during the summer. Although this has been my favorite hat EVER.

The new one is not nearly as nice, but it’s loose and cooler. Two good things as the weather begins to heat up, like it did today. My car said 96 this afternoon. But so far June has been surprisingly cool.

Enjoyed my time with Tommy and Katie this evening.

Katie’s mom Ann came over to spend some time and visit with Jesse. J will be leaving on Wednesday to go back to California. He’s really looking forward to that. I’m glad he’s happy.

Admin duties now.

I liked these flowers.

This intrigued me.

I gave my teams a briefing on Catholicism as is practiced here in the International Village.

Then took them on a tour of Plaza Fiesta, one of my favorite places.

I always see something unusual there!

Ashley and I shot pictures and video of the teams. This was their final day at the missions.

Great work by some wonderful teams. And Ashley!

Home now to work on admin duties.
