This morning\u00a0 I was supposed to have a meeting with my computer partners at ReBoot.\u00a0 They help us refurbish old computers to outfit the missions and families that need computers.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the timing didn’t work out so we had to reschedule for next week.<\/p>\n

I went by Clarkston to drop off the two new Kinyarwanda Bibles I had for my partner Terry Earl and to see the Wonderful Wednesday program at Clarkston International Bible Church.

\nThen Jesse and I went over to Clarkston Community Center to say hello to my partner Cathy Palmer and to bring her some more yarn from one of my partners at NAMB.<\/p>\n

We then met up with Ian North to eat lunch and debrief all the missions conferences that we worked at this weekend.\u00a0 He’s also putting out his first news letter this month.\u00a0 Busy!

\nMy other assignment today was to pick up a new video camcorder that could shoot in HD.\u00a0 After research I decided on the Sony MHS-PM1.\u00a0 It’s a tiny guy with a big heart!\u00a0 Shoot 1080i true highdef video and has a 5 mp sensor.\u00a0 I picked it up at the Sony Style store at Lenox Square for about $170 which I thought was a great price!\u00a0 I want to do a lot more with video and I think that it being so portable (it’s about the size of a box of cigarrettes) will enable me to do that. Always great to get a little extra money from my tax returns!<\/p>\n

I liked some of the displays at the mall! Cool!

Not sure if you watch the Story Tim videos, hope you do.\u00a0 I think they’re all really funny or interesting! Here’s a sad story about a car wreck I covered.

\nAfter picking up the camera, J and I went over to the Borders bookstore across the street from the Mall.\u00a0 I think it’s the best bookstore in the city!<\/p>\n

Then over to Best Buy to pick up a 8GB\u00a0 storage card for the new camera.\u00a0 Only $40!\u00a0 Amazing how storage cards have gone WAY down in price.<\/p>\n

Also went to check on the kids at Azalea. \u00a0 We have a new kid at the mission named Tambir.\u00a0 He’s from Bangladesh and speaks almost no English.\u00a0 SO, I went around trying to teach the kids some of the Bengali phrases that I know.\u00a0 They got a HUGE kick out of it!\u00a0 The children I work with are very similar to MKs, we’ve both grown up around multiple languages.\u00a0 I think we’re wired to pick up other languages faster than most people. The kids jumped right in with the “Asalaam alekums” and the “kamon asens” the “balos” and the “ajamai.”\u00a0 It’s always fun to learn new things!
\n\"c\"
\nCame home and spent about two hours mowing my yard.\u00a0 My throat was bothering me this afternoon.\u00a0 Kinda scratchy.\u00a0 After all that dust today, feel pretty weak.\u00a0 Pray that I keep my strength up!<\/p>\n

Also pray for the people suffering with the new strain of flu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
