Hello!

Fixed my bathroom light.

Took the team over to the Farmer’s Market. They seemed  to like it.

Meet up with Dad and we ran some errands. Went to Walmart to get lights for our presentation time.

Checked on the teams at the missions. 

Then worked on organizing Dad’s closet and arranging the Fellowship Hall.

Before….

After…

Main part was organizing our briefing show and tell items.

Love,

Ash

Hola! Dad briefed the FBC Cabot team while I talked to the Hattiesburg peeps.

We had fun taking pictures with the sublime blue mariachi hat.

And signing the landing pad.

Then onto Plaza Fiesta!

Great last day at the mission.

Poured down rain!

Home now about to cook with Milo.

Love,

Ash

Hello! Miles and I got to hang out with Dad and the team today. We had our briefing then went over to Madina and Global Mall.

Printed out pictures for them.

Missions were fun!

Especially with Moogley and Milo!

Love,

Ash

Love,

Ash

Assalamu alaikum! Briefed the teams then went to Madina.

Explored the Hindu temple.

Lunch at Ashiana’s.

Then Dad and I figured out the logistics for the four teams coming next week. Some teams are coming Saturday through Monday, others get in on Monday while another comes in Tuesday. We called them and figured out exactly how many teams they were breaking into and all that good stuff. Glad we called, one team forgot to call and cancel.

Then over to see the peeps at the missions.

Love,

Ash

Ni hao! Dad and I did a show and tell about Buddhism today.

Then took the teams over to Asian Square. We did some language study then went to the Chinese Bakery.

CD Tower is always a big hit.

 

The pharmacy and lunch at Royal China were good! We saw this man bring live fish to the restaurant.

Then onto missions.

Dad and I started a new tradition. We created a landing spot for Jesus when He comes back. Then all the team members can sign the tarp, then come back and see it next year.

Love,

Ash

Well hello there! We had a great time briefing the teams today.

Always fun to visit the farmer’s market.

Then we helped each team get onsite.

Cooking Brauts with Miles and Jesse now.

Love,

Happy Birthday,DAD!!!

This morning I worked on printing out, laminating and writing notes on the team pictures.

Then popped them in the mailbox.

Took Moogs for a walk. She liked the flowers.

It was a long walk.

Looking forward to Dad’s party tomorrow.

Love,

Ash

Hola! Plaza fiesta today!

We bubbled the team.

Created a collage for Marie, the Azalea manager.

Printed out team pictures.

Explored Plaza Fiesta.

I bought Dad a pinata. He picked it out himself.

Namaste! Today we briefed the teams on Islam and Hinduism.

We bubbled people that are doing outstanding mission work.

Picked up a new cable for my printer.

Great day for missions.

Ni Hao!

We briefed the team on Buddhism today. Then did a little show and tell.

Off on safari to CD Tower, where Buddhists buy their idols.

Then the bakery and pharmacy.

Lunch at Penang!

Missions!

 

 

Took a ride out to Sandy Springs to check on the Powell team out there.

Hello there! 

Dad and I always have a great time with the big teams. DAd learned 40 team member names in 15 minutes!

Hello!

Moogs and I went for a couple of walks today through the forest.

Look at the pink tongue!

Then we hung out at the park with the boys.

Talked to Patrick Blackmon with Cheraw BC in South Carolina and Justin Beddingfield both are bringing their teams this July.

Love,

Ash

Woof! Hello friends!

Moogley and I went to the vet today. She had to get a health exam and an update on her vaccines. One of the great things about adopting from the Humane Society is that you get a $250 discount when you use one of their VCA clinics. Score! 

I’ve enjoyed having her as a close companion. We went for an early morning run and then to the dog park. It’s a great big fenced in area where she can run off the lease. Perfect for people like us who don’t have a back yard. 

Then we went to PetSmart to get her a collar and nameplate.

She even picked out her own rope toy. It was so cute to see her prance around the store with it.

She’s part of the family! 

Both my babies, tuckered out after a long day.

Love,

Ash

Hello there! Dad called me this morning on his way over to my house to tell me his car had broken down.

I went and picked him up so we could drive to our gig at Union Baptist Church.

We had a fun time psyching the group up about coming on missions on Tuesday.

Then had lunch with Daryl and his wife, Beth.

Dropped Dad off once this tow truck got there.

Then Miles took me to the animal shelter. He’s had his eye on a sweet dog there. We both bonded with her immediately. I’m looking forward to having a new running partner and guard dog, Milo’s looking forward to having a hound ride in the Jeep with him.

Liked these tall sunflowers.

Love,

Ash

Hello! We had a fun family team from Oakland BC today.

Briefed ’em.

Then explored the market.

We had a GREAT time at the mission today. The four way tug of war was SUPER popular.

Looking forward to speaking at Union Baptist Church tomorrow.

Love,

Ash

Hello! Dad and I meet up and took a drive up to Sandy Springs to let the managers know we have teams coming. Went and got supplies at Walmart. Dads a kid forever.

We tried a new Thai restaurant up there. Good food, but kind of a long wait.

Said goodbye to the Grace Covenant Team.

I liked how the kids roll up on their bikes.

Mailed the team pictures.

Cleaned the house.

Adit giving me a high ten.

Love,

Ash

Ariba! Ariba! Today is the Plaza Fiesta tour! One of my favorites, mainly because of the food.

Dad and I did the briefing, como siempre.

Look at those muscles!

Then on to the party! The team enjoyed exploring the Botanicas.

Dad got a new bubble gun.

Always something new to see in the International Village.

Super cute chicks at the pet store!

Last day of missions for the FBC McDonough peeps. They’ve been an OUTSTANDING team.

Don’t wait! Get your Yeah, Baby shirt today!

Home now to work on the financial report.

 

Mileage got up to 119000! That’s a lot of driving.

Ran this evening. Still hot but, it’s surprisingly cool in the shade.

Continuing to grow the teamwhirlwind.com website.

Love,

Ash

Namaste! I had a horse riding lesson this morning so Dad did most of the briefing. When I showed up I did my part about Hinduism.

Then we took the teams over to Global Mall to experience a Pooja.

Next stop, Madina for schwarma and samosas.

Missions! I had fun singing with the little children.

 

The kids helped us to labels.

Only one more day.

Came home and ran, now I’m printing out pictures for the teams.

Please be praying for baby Deacon and his family.

Love,

Ash

Hello! We briefed the teams this morning then went to CD Tower, a Chinese Pharmacy and Bakery.

Missions were awesome. We had some rain but it passed and it made the Noah story even better.

Love,

Ash

Hello!

Dad and I had fun tag teaming the church groups today.

We’re not subtle.

Then on to the the Farmer’s Market.

Missions were great as always. I had fun with the Jonah story, getting in the “boat” with the kids and spraying them with water to represent the storm.

Enjoyed dinner with Miles and J.

Love,

Ash

Hello! Ran the mountain today. Beautiful weather! I went up the back gravel part, I was all alone listening to World War Z. Got kinda freaky!

Picked up groceries. Got some ant killer! Die nasty ants!

Worked on the Team Whirlwind website. It’s a work in progress.

Fixed my purse.

Input expenses for the financial report at my desk.

Mailed Nana a Yeah, baby! T-shirt.

House is lookin’ good!

I liked these mini mushrooms.

Can you see the mama bird staring back?

The eggs hatched!

Hola! Yay! Dad’s back. Great to have my partner in missions back! We did the briefing together and then drove over to Plaza Fiesta.

Gelatto!

Missions!

Very creative Bible stories.

This has been one of the sweetest  teams! They even brought me flowers. :D

Looking forward to having them back soon.

Editing the team video.

Love,

Namaste! Mo and I took the team over to Global Mall to experience the Hindu temple.

Then onto Al Madina for lunch and a lesson in Islam.

We lead the team over to Azalea. Then Mo and I went to mail t-shirts.

I really liked their Bible story and craft today. Each child wrote a sin they’d done on a little paper hand, then they went up to the wooden cross and pushed the sin through the nail.

Home now to edit the video and write thank you letters.

Love,

Ash

Why hello there! Ni Hoa!

Today we had the Blackville BC group from South Carolina join us.

I did the briefing on Buddhism and then we explored CD Tower, the Pharmacy and the Bakery.

Delicious Penang for lunch.

Then missions in the afternoon. It rained a little but that only made for cooler weather.

 

Looking forward to Madina and Global Mall tomorrow. Schwarma! Schwarma! Schwarma!

Packing up t-shirts and sending them out.

Love,

Ash

Hello! Mama and I enjoyed briefing the new team today from the Norcross area. We took them to the Buford Highway Farmer’s Market. Always some weird things to see there.

Then to the missions!

Mama helped get them on site at Cumberland Courts and I went to pick up our t-shirt order from PureFun!

Enjoying listening to World War Z.

Babu has woken up and is drinking fluids and seems to be cheerful! PTL!

Love,

Ash

Hello! Well, today was the final day of Urban Plunge. And it was the best day, EVER!

We did our briefing about Catholicism and then toured Plaza Fiesta.

Like our Yeah, Baby t-shirts? Order your own by sending me an email. They’re only $10!

I dropped Dad off at the MARTA and he rode out to catch a plane to Texas to be with his parents.

Then I went and said adios to all the teams.

Looking forward to a day of rest tomorrow.

Love,

Ash
