J and I had a great morning!

We went to visit with Dr. Greenberg to get J’s hearing aid!

It’s a tiny piece of technology that I think is really going to improve Jesse’s quality of life. It’s about the size of a pencil eraser. Here the doctor has it connected to his computer to tune it in to exactly the frequencies that J needs.

It was such fun to watch the silly grin he got on his face as the doctor tweaked the device. A truly great day for a Dad!

A special THANK YOU to the president of our board and one of my best friends, Carl Barrington and his wonderful wife Pat for providing the funds to make this miracle possible!

After our appointment, we ate lunch at the Northpoint Mall. We like this restaurant that is run by Chinese folks. Jesse is learning Mandarin. It was a hoot to have the ladies behind the counter coaching me on how to say things like “two piece chicken.”

I love languages and the reason that I pick them up pretty quickly is that I’m not afraid to look stupid. The ladies got a kick out of me proving that point!

We checked by my office after lunch. I collected some Bibles and dictionaries for a new partner of mine doing work in the inner city. He’ll pick them up later this week.

Then over to Huntington Terraces to sign the new lease for my partner Bayo Otiti.

Jesse spent a lot of time last week working on Ruthie North’s computer. He’s a genius with that stuff!

We also helped the kids at Azalea with their homework. I enjoy working with one of the moms there. She’s trying to learn English and it’s fun for me to practice Spanish with her. Win-Win, baby!

Kathy got some bad news today. Her tooth has been really bothering her. She had it checked out. Seems like the crown that she had put in while we were living in S. Africa had developed a problem. Looks like she’s going to have to have it pulled. She’s pretty scared about it. Pray for that!

We enjoyed watching Castle and House that I’d recorded.

Now back to admin duties!
