Paul’s missionary journey

Paul persecuted the church before he converted and I think that it takes place in his life as a missionary because he can better relate to those who want to convert and who have persecuted the church. Paul was present at the stoning of Stephen and he was able to see what he had gone through and how hard it was for him because Stephen was persecuted for his faith. I think that two experiences, gifts or talents that God has given me that God has used or could use in my life to further His kingdom are that when I am around others I am almost always happy or smiling and that can help to lift the spirits of others when I am happy. One other thing is that I am very loving and caring for others and other animals because I would never try to hurt an animal or another person because that is not what God has called us to do.

Distance Learning Reflection

 

What has been most challenging to me is being able to focus on the work i’m doing. I find it harder to focus on what I am doing at home because there are many distractions. What has been most rewarding is that when I am done I am free to do whatever I want. So I am able to spend more time outside enjoying the fresh air. I have been able to pour into many different things for example playing and spending time with  our puppy. I also have been able to spend more time outside with my horses and training them. In this time of uncertainty I am hoping to grow in my faith because when I am in a time of difficulty I can look to him for help.

 

 

The Stoning of Stephen

 

For the stoning of Stephen project I wrote a newspaper article. I think that I did well in explaining what happened in the story and trying to make sure everything is on there. I also think that I payed attention to the important parts of the story. I would feel very overwhelmed if I were to have to view this event because I think events where people try to hurt others just isn’t right. I feel that they were spoken to by God about helping Soul and helping him to get better. I also think that God was with Soul and was watching over him. I think that the early Christians kept up their faith with God because they trusted that God would keep them safe through all the hard and they prayed to God to keep them safe.

Beginning of the Year Reflections

One thing that I have enjoyed this year is the teachers they are really nice and they can handle all of the boys in our classes. One thing that I have learned this year is about the history behind all of the different colonies that were there in the 1600’s and 1700’s. Because I have never learned about them before and it is very interesting to learn more history about the U.S. One thing that I am looking forward to this year is getting to know the teacher’s stories and getting to know them better.

Summer

This summer I stayed at Hungry Horse Campground all summer because my parents work there. I was able to hang out with all of my friends that I had last summer. I got to see my cousins a couple of times at my grandmas and I did a little bit of babysitting for my aunt and uncle. I swam a lot in the pool and I helped out with all of the hayrides that we have for the kids. At the hayrides the kids that came were able to pet the goats and the bunny and also feed the goats, horses and the cow. We were able to go away for a couple of days to Torch Lake. We stayed at a campground called Timber Ridge in Traverse City. On the first day we were there we rented a boat on Torch Lake with my cousins. We went tubing and went out for lunch at the Dockside. We went back to the campground and went for a bike ride and ate dinner. the last day we went trail riding on our bikes and hung out with some of our friends.

La Democracia

¿Que aprendiste?

La democracia es una forma de gobierno en que todos los ciudadanos pueden participar en elecciones y tienen derechos y oportunidades. Los actividades que hicimos para este tema son una informe de posición que es una hoja con información sobre nuestros países y tuvimos una elección para nuestros países que tuvimos. Para entender este tema, debes saber que la democracia es algo muy interesante para estudiar porque hay mucha informacion sobre Africa que puedes usar.

 

                     ¿Quienes somos?

Yo aprendí que los personas de África son muy diferentes que los personas aquí porque la manera en que ellos visten es diferente que nuestro manera de vestir. Y yo aprendí que todos son diferentes en sus propios maneras. Hay algunas formas de democracia que son los mismos que nosotros y hay algunos en que son diferentes que los que tenemos aqui. Aunque África en una diferente cultura algunas cosas allí pueden ser semejantes.

 

                                                        ¿Quién es él?

Dios me enseño que todos son diferentes y tenemos diferentes maneras de hacer cosas en que él nos creó completamente diferente. Seguir a Jesús con respeto significa que debemos tener mucho respeto a los personas de otros culturas y debemos no hablar mal de ellos porque Jesús nos quiere que somos amables a todos.

 

                                                  ¿Quien soy yo?

Este tema no me ha afectado mucho porque yo ya sabia algunas cosas de África y eso no realmente me afecta mucho. Pero yo he aprendido más que antes sobre África con las cosas que yo no sabía pero todavía hay más información con que puedo aprender. Yo he cambiado en aprender sobre las cosas sobre Costa de Marfil y solo ver todas las cosas que han pasado muy reciente allí con todas las guerras civiles.

 

                                                      Llamada a la accion

Yo creo que mi vida no va a cambiar mucho porque proyectos asi no me cambian la vida pero yo aprendí mucho sobre el proyecto y todo. Me voy a hacer algunas cosas diferentes porque puedo pensar en la basura y todo porque plástico toma mucha tiempo para desintegrarse al tierra.

La Union Africana

¿Que paso?                                                                                                                                             La preparación fue un poco difícil porque tomaba mucho tiempo para preparar nuestros informes para tener le información que necesitábamos y muchos personas estaban yendo diferentes direcciones y necesitábamos agarrar los papeles que necesitábamos tener. El día sintió muy largo porque había mucho discucion.

¿Que aprendiste?                                                                                                                                  yo aprendí mucho sobre otros lugares. Muchos de los países querían diferentes cosas como un país quería mas segregación y otros no. yo aprendí mas sobre como funcionan los otros países con su gobierno y cosas que han pasado muy reciente.

¿Como te cambia?                                                                                                                                 yo viviré en diferente manera pensando en el pobres de los países y el guerra que va por allí porque en Costa de Marfil había mucho guerra.
