Atlanta Weekend Trip

Well we are back now. Justin and I went to Atlanta on Saturday after service. We enjoyed seeing the Atlanta Braves play. We got to sit in the row right behind the where the Braves players sit. Then today we went to the Georgia Aquarium. It was nice. I still like the Chattanooga Aquarium better. It is amazing that the Georgia Aquarium has the biggest tank in the world. They had 4 teenage whale sharks. The tank can hold 6 mature adult whale sharks. The tank is a football field long without the end zones included. They had manta-ray in the tank too it was really amazing to see them swim around. The average wing size is 15 feet wide and the biggest recorded was 33 feet wide. Then after the aquarium we went to the Coca-Cola Museum right across the way. It was cool to see the different things that Coca-Cola was involved in. Also we got to taste 60+ different flavors of Coca-Cola products around the world. The best was from China. It was a candy pine nut drink. Super sweet and good. But that was it for today. We enjoyed our short visit. Here are some pictures of our trip.

District Convention 2010

This past weekend we went to our District Convention in Dalton Georgia. It was a very nice convention center. We had 29 baptized. I felt a lot more comfortable with my Spanish and did not get the headache I usually do. That gives me a lot of hope. :) It was strange to have people come up to us who knew about our upcoming move to Bolivia. I felt like a celebrity. LOL We met a lot a lot of really nice friends and hope to hang out with them before we leave. It was also strange realizing that this was our last convention in the States. I will certainly miss the comfortable seats. But anyways here are some pictures.
