Its hard to move a church forward when they don&#8217;t want to.  <\/p>\n<p>That conversation certainly didn&#8217;t make me feel any better.<\/p>\n<p>We did have a good prayer time which helped me.

Riding around by myself for hours, lifting everything by myself. . . .not looking forward to it.<\/p>\n<p>We met up with Ruthie North at Best Buy.  We helped her get a new wifi device for her computer which Jesse fixed.  She call it her &#8220;new computer.&#8221;  He&#8217;s a whiz kid for sure!<\/p>\n<p>Then to Party City and Michaels to pick up supplies for the Outreach Events for this weekend.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/Missions\/Azalea-Place\/Azalea-31110\/IMG0599\/808090322_fAeJZ-S.jpg\" alt=\"p[\" \/><\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;ll get the food tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Checked on the office at FBC Doraville.<\/p>\n<p>Then went to a Chinese book store in Chamblee.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/Missions\/Azalea-Place\/Azalea-31110\/IMG0600\/808090165_eZTE6-S.jpg\" alt=\"m\" \/><\/p>\n<p>  J is studying Mandarin.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/Missions\/Azalea-Place\/Azalea-31110\/IMG0601\/808090229_PdVbR-S.jpg\" alt=\"n\" \/><\/p>\n<p>  We got him a children&#8217;s book to help him study.
