Testing...testing...

The battery is all charged up, I've learned what some of the buttons are for, and I've figured out how to import the photos to my computer. Unfortunately, I tried taking photos of these mums with every different setting....but I don't remember which settings birthed the photos I liked best. So much to learn....
I'm very pleased with my first adventure with my camera...er, Living Water's camera. If only Andy had been home so I could actually take a picture of a person! But mission meetings are important, too, I guess....
So....instead, I took a photo of one of his favorite things. He's going to be so proud....





Now the real reason Living Water purchased a camera is to take photos of children and families who come there for groceries. They don't have many pictures of themselves. So we even purchased a little printer to print out photos so they can take them home that day. MAN! I wish I was going to be there tomorrow to send everyone home with a photo!! But maybe my skills will improve in a week's time....and they don't know what they're missing...yet!

That is a GREAT idea! It always amazed me how many families did not have any pictures of themselves b/c they could not afford it. I'll never forget the kids at mission arlington. They LOVED having their pics made! This will be very special for these families.

That sounds like a good camera! I'm hoping to get a new one for Christmas... any suggestions?
I really and truly can't wait to see the faces of the people you serve there at Living Water. What a great job you have!
