I&#8217;m on a first name basis with the guys over there!  Got a call later today that said my radiator had a leak and the bushings on my car were bad.  Bottom line I&#8217;m looking at over $700 for repairs.  I hope that includes the oil change!<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/271265133_zuRiS-M.jpg\" alt=\"car1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/271265204_Hrd7J-M.jpg\" alt=\"car2\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For a treat we went to our favorite Indian food place&#8211;Vikhyat&#8211;which means &#8220;famous&#8221; in Gujarati.  The Patel family lived in Nairobi, Kenya in the same era we did.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/271265852_HxCe3-M.jpg\" alt=\"curry3\" \/>  We all know the same places and when I come in we always have a conversation in Swahili.  It reminds me of home and is great fun for me.  It&#8217;s located across the street from the McDonalds on LaVista road near Northlake Mall.  It&#8217;s definitely one of my food faves.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/271265455_YSYfz-M.jpg\" alt=\"curry1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/271265745_8tBwD-M.jpg\" alt=\"curry2\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/271265939_BVPBi-M.jpg\" alt=\"curry4\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/271266090_xntRd-M.jpg\" alt=\"ash elephant\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After we finished writing the newsletters we went to Azalea and the kids helped us put the labels on the letters.

It was a lot of fun and everyone seemed to be a good sport.  I&#8217;ve seen some pretty bad attitudes on church teams!  Tonight was a really pleasant change from that.  Kevin Lamb, the son of the folks we&#8217;re staying with, hit a grand slam!
