Beautiful weather!  Bright blue sky and not too cold!  Excellent!

Worked most of the morning on the Niger Movie.  So far I’ve got most of my daily blogs while in country done.  I have all the video on my hard drive.  All of these processes takes time: rendering, compressing, editing, uploading , , , no fast way to do it.

Plus I have to do one version for the DVD and another for the on line YouTube account.  Just keep chipping away at it.  I nearly have all the blogs ready to upload.

Went by Dekalb Tech to drop off some paper work for Jesse to take his GED test.  So far he’s taken the practice tests for Social Studies, Math and Science.  He made nearly a perfect score on those three.  He’s taking more time with the essay section.  He’s a great writer, but he has trouble writing about things that he considers a waste of his time.  For instance, the last essay subject was: “Tell the value of sports in developing community.”  He thinks organized sports are useless so he doesn’t have much to say on the subject.  I try to tell him to write as if he was interested in it.  The teachers are really only trying to find out his writing skills.  But he thinks that’s “against his principles.”  C’est la vie, baby.

Working on financial records here in my office.  Just about have that knocked out.  Need to go by the bank and then over to the mission to check  on the kids.

Peace.
