Danou! Shower! Research! Water! 2.7.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:31 pm  

I’m always interested in eye-catching shirts.

I heard from Danou. He told me what messaging app was best for him: WhatsApp. I sent him a message with info.

I’m a research kind of guy.

Here’s how Danou talks about what he’s doing.

I used WhatsApp a lot when I was in Guatemala.

One of the production people from this TV show contacted me last week about using the FBC Doraville parking lot.

Got word about the shower stall we will be installing soon.

I continue to contact team leaders.

OYB!

Español.

Got in touch with Landon.

Team list is starting to grow. Amen.

Danou speaks Afrikaans. I always find it fun to pick up a few words in their heart language. Always builds rapport.

We had a fun chat on the phone.

After hearing his heart for what he wants his property to achieve, I encouraged him to talk to people in charge of the local schools. He should offer to have the kids come out and take a look. Perhaps they could help with the signage, or cleaning up some trails or something. Just get them involved and their parents will probably take interest.

I also thought he should contact local Universities and see if their grad students might be interested in coming to help. Perhaps they could do some research for him.

After talking to Landon, I realized that the team will be here at the same time as Nana and Rooopa! That will be great. I will need to take Roopa to the airport on Sunday so I won’t be with the team for most of the time that they’re at the mission that day. I’ll have to leave around 3:00 PM. I talked to him and explained the situation. He didn’t think that would be a problem at all.

I called Nana to tell her what was going on. Everything will work out perfectly.

Really? They needed a box this big for a packet of dental floss?

Fantastic weather.

Printed the tax receipt from Kars 4 Kids.

Brought the water bottles in.

Rained about .75″ last night.

Refilled feeders.

Keep going.

Anthony! Gas! PE! Azalea! Groceries! 2.6.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:43 pm  

Sweet note from Penelope.

Beautiful weather.

OYB!

Español!

Ordered and picked up groceries.

Good chat with Anthony.

Did my laundry.

Gassed up my car and checked the fluids.

Deposited checks. Thank you, Father!

Took the girls to Waffle House.

I installed Stars so I can text Penelope.

Helped the kids with their homework.

Elapsed time is difficult for them.

Some come for fun.

I appreciate this.

I left Landon a voicemail. He emailed me later.

Good talk with Nana on the way home.

Don Cheto.

Plans continue to progress for Nana getting here. Roopa will be driving my Mom to Atlanta. She’s a friend of ours from the early 70s in Nairobi.

Hard for me to be motivated to give a lot of extra effort when I’m way behind and way ahead.
