Today is Thursday.  That has a special meaning for me, because I have Jesse AND Ashley with me!

I’ve been feeling shaggy, so I got a haircut this morning.

Then did the shopping for the family groceris and also checked on getting Kathy’s cell phone replaced.  It’s a brand new Nokia, but she’s had a lot of problems with it reading the SIM card.

Picked up A & J and went to the Ryans restaurant to catch up with my partner Carlos Salaverria.

He organized a meeting of the local Spanish pastors to help get a coalition between the churches and the apartment missions.

It was great to see my brothers Tito Ruiz and Marco Solano. Two of my favorite people in the world!

It was also perfect timing to  introduce two new partners to the rest of the Pastor team:  Eduardo and Sheila Zamora from Venezuela.

They will be serving along the Buford Highway corridor and living at Huntington Ridge.


We went over to Huntington Ridge to check out the apartment and meet some of the residents.  I always enjoy that.  We also met some of the neighbors.  I think it’ll be a good place for them. 

After our lunch meeting I took Eduardo and Sheila over to Huntington Station, the sister property to the Ridge.  Diana is the manager at H. Station, but she’s moving to the Ridge tomorrow.  I also showed them where Pearl Lane apartments are.  I’d like for him to lead the outreach into the Spanish speaking community there.

I brought my plants in weeks ago. My hibiscus started to bloom today!
