While there, they fed us too. \u00a0This guy makes a killer burger stuffed with fetta cheese. \u00a0I tried to eat 2, but failed&#8230; too much deliciousness all at once.<\/p>\n<p>The next day we set up some interviews in our room that we always go to when shooting in ATL. \u00a0We interviewed the entire family and his mother. \u00a0We got some really good pieces of details into their lives and choices they had made. \u00a0After nearly 2 boxes of tapes, we called it a day. \u00a0I really enjoyed the time we spent with the Jordans, just good people and a great family!<\/p>\n<p>-Jeff M<\/p>\n<p>Giving a sermon at church.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20121\" alt=\"Screen shot 2013-11-13 at 2.56.41 PM\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/assets.gototeam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/12201217\/Screen-shot-2013-11-13-at-2.56.41-PM-300x192.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Jordan<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/assets.gototeam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/12201214\/IMG_2216.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20120\" alt=\"IMG_2216\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/assets.gototeam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/12201216\/IMG_2216-e1384372324630-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hat or no hat?
