Today we went to the Elaite camp; we gave them some medicine and played soccer with a gourd. I learned how to use a blood pressure cuff (no Dr. Kolde I still don’t want to be a doctor). I hope that more people know Jesus because of it.

FW: some people wondered

This week I sat around A LOT. I played so much video games and watched so many TV shows I thought my eyes would rot (after I finished of course ). I read: 39 Clues, Lost Hero and Deeper. I also ate too much. We went to Chuck E Cheese I dominated at a floating ball game. We went to the airport several times. We played tag. Loading up now! Next update from Nigeria.

Our Georgia Aquarium visit!

Thanks to the Abbotts, we got to go to the biggest aquarium IN THE WORLD!It supposedly has over 8 million gallons of water.The biggest exhibit is the Ocean Voyager. From the website we learned that:

It took 1.8 million pounds of sea salt to make the Ocean Voyager exhibit as salty as the ocean.

The 6.3 million gallons of water in Ocean Voyager can be filtered in 60 minutes.

The pipes that filter the water in the Ocean Voyager exhibit stretch 61 miles, or the length of I-285 around Atlanta.

The whale sharks in Ocean Voyager may grow to be up to 25 to 35 feet in length.

We stayed there for a long time, watching the divers go down and look around, and even going in a underwater tube. When the divers went down and blew bubbles, the 9 foot manta rays did a back flip and ate the bubbles. One of them went down the bubble stream and I thought he was going to eat the diver’s head. There were sawfish and guitarfish, which are actually types of rays. Did you know that rays and sharks are in the same family? sharks have gills on the side and rays have gills on the bottom of their body.

My favorite was Georgia Explorer, where you got to touch southern stingrays, cow nosed rays, and bonnet head sharks, they felt slimy . One of the southern stingrays swam from the bottom of the pool and jumped at me.

There were a bunch of other places, named River Scout, Cold Water Quest, Tropical Diver (family photo).

We took a taxi there but saved a lot of money taking the train (Marta) home. The Marta was a public train that everybody goes on to get around.

All in all it was a great day.
