I had fun working with my group of candidates from the North American Mission Board this morning.  They’re always a lively bunch.

After NAMB I went by Joann’s to pick up more yarn and needles for the ladies.  Hard to feel manly when pushing a cart full of pink yarn. Women would look at me, the cart bulging with yarn and their eyebrows would go up.  “That’s a lotta yarn.”  “Yep,” I’d say in the deepest voice I could muster.

This afternoon I went to Clarkston to check on Ruthie North and her mom Charlene. 

They had their first day of teaching bead work with the Refugee Sewing Society.  Such a beautiful group.  I love going to Clarkston!  The whole world has come to us!
I had a fun visit with a new friend from Burundi. I always enjoy speaking Swahili!

Ran 4 miles.  My left calf was killing me.  Weird.  Still did it.  Needed the stress relief.
