Marietta and Azalea!
Jesse and I went to the Post Office today to pick up stamps for the newsletter. I worked on getting all the labels ready for the kids to help us with the envelope.
Then we went out to Marietta to sign the current lease for our apartment mission at Concept 21–Delk. The coolest part about it is that the lady who helped us is African. I asked her where she was from. “Kenya!” I immediately went into my Swahili greetings which she was amazed by. Then I guessed her tribe: Kikuyu and said a few words in her tribal language. Talk about a freak out! I get a kick out of doing that!
Doubt there’s too many white guys in Atlanta that could pull that off!
Then over to the office to check on the mail and the plants.
Next was to Huntington Terraces to see Bayo and check on the flooding he endured. What a mess! The good news is that they’ll replace all the old carpet, which was horrible. It all works out.
Bayo’s long term plan is to return back to Nigeria to set up an orphanage. I’m helping him get that done. J set up a new email account with gmail: OrphanSafe @gmail.com. J also set up a blog account and a Picasa account. Today I taught him how to get the photos off his SD card for his camera, put it onto his computer, and upload to Picasa. It’s kind of intimidating, lots of information. Better to have several sessions with him so he can digest it.
Then to Azalea to help the kids with their homework. I spent most of my time with Shimanto doing ionic and covalent bonding stuff. Into that?
Went by the Aquarium Warehouse this evening. Super cool. They even had sharks! It’s located very near to Azalea. I’ll probably take of few kids over there to check it out. The owner is a great guy and very friendly.
Also stopped at Best Buy. Bayo’s camera sounds horrible when the lens retracts. Unfortunately, I didn’t buy the warranty. It still works, just sounds bad.
Horrific traffic on the way home on 78. Brutal.
I’ll probably work out on weights later tonight. Stressed.
