This is my desk in our study.  It is where I spend a lot of hours on the computer.  I just thought I would share!

It's the little things

Yes, it's a cucumber slice!  We were eating dinner one night when a slice of cucumber dropped off my fork and fell to the floor.  We both leaned over to look for it and it took us awhile to see where it had traveled - across the floor and leaning against the chair leg!  What are the chances of that!  E. Reese was so impressed that he took a picture.  It's the little things that entertain us and keep us going!

Primary

Sis. Reese is now back in the Primary.  We have 6 to 9 kids come most weeks.  The challenge is to keep them on a schedule and to have the leaders prepared so that it's not boring!!!

 Mari, Tamuna and Tamari - why is it that girls are just easier!?!?!?

 Keti (going on a mission in 2 months!) Mari and Taco.

 Hmmmm... is Rapo happy to be here?

2 Wheelchair Trainings

We learned in Kazakhstan how important it is to properly measure and fit a person to a wheelchair.  We decided the best thing to do was to train the social workers here in Georgia because they work directly with the disabled.   So we contacted our 2 NGOs (they pass out our wheelchairs) and asked them to each host a Saturday training.  They provided the building, 12-16 social workers and 6 beneficiaries to come at the end of the training to receive a wheelchair - AFTER being evaluated by our  newly trained social workers!  We provided the teacher, lunch and the wheelchairs!  It was a great combination and here are the pictures to prove it!

 Levan teaching the group - he has 22 years experience with wheelchairs.

They are practicing how to get a good measurement so the right chair can be ordered!

Lunch is served!

Some hands on practice in adjusting the wheelchair to properly fit.

Working with the first beneficiary.

Why we do this!

At last - MLS!

One last comment for May.  It was a great day on May 24th when the accountant from Moscow came and set up the computer with MLS in  Pres. Reese's office at the church.  Now they can do all their business in the office and online!!!  Here is a picture with P. Reese and his clerk Alex.
