In bible we have been learning about Paul. Paul had a Roman and Jewish citizenship. Because Paul was a pharisee he had knowledge of the scripture and torah. Paul was exceptionally bright he knew many different languages. He was also a missionary to the gentles (non Jews) because he believed that the Jews already knew the story and were religious.

There are many ways that God has been working in my life.  God is working in my life through foster care and adoption. Through foster care and adoption he has thought me that not everyone is the same, people live in different lifestyles and react to different situations differently. Through both of them I have learned that just because I do something a certain way doesn’t mean that it is what they would do in their culture. Another way that God is working in my life is through traveling. through traveling he is working in my life because there are many people in the world who don’t know Jesus, some places in the world people don’t even think that there is a god  they are just so concerned about finding enough food to feed their family one more day. Another way God is working through my life through travel is by teaching me that there are many people out there that need our help. We have so much money compared to them. I wish that more people knew what it is like to live in poverty with people in 3rd world countries, because most of the people in poverty here would be middle class in most 3rd world countries.

My Movie 2 – Small-26oix13 

THIS IS OUR VIDEO! ^

WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION. FOR OUR PROJECT WE MADE MOUNTAINS THAT HAD STORIES ABOUT CHRISTIANS BEING PERSECUTED IN NEPAL.  WE ALSO HAD POSTERS THAT TOLD PEOPLE FACTS ABOUT HOW PEOPLE WERE HELPING AND FACTS ABOUT NEPAL

This is our spaghetti tower. We ran out of money so we had to return some things to Mrs. Devrise. We put 4 small triangles at the bottom of it so that it would have more support and they added some height. Then we connected all of them with a square. Next we put it straight up and then put a triangle on top of that, and we connected them with diagonal spaghetti sticks so that they would add support and it wouldn’t tip over so easily. Next we put 4 spaghetti sticks on and they all meet together at the top. And finally we put a egg holder on the very top. We put a bunch of small leftover spaghetti sticks together with about 6 marshmallows holding them together. We hope our spaghetti tower won’t fall.

This summer I went to Guatemala for 5 weeks. It was really fun. I meet a lot of new people and learned a lot of new things. They go to really small schools. There are a lot of really poor people and a lot of rich people. Many people sell things on the sides of the highways to make a living because there are a lot of traffic jams. Guatemala is really beautiful, a lot of people still wear native clothes. Most of the time I slept in the car. I really liked the theme parks, xetulul and xocomil. Lorianne has a lot of friends. Most of them I meat on my 2nd day at Lorianne’s birthday party. I had a lot of fun. I hope that Sofia and Daniel can come to Michigan, with Faces and Our Culture. I hope that I can go back next year because I had so much fun. I also went camping this summer. I love camping we had so much fun. My favorite part of camping is swimming

Book Review

1. Identify 2+ issues that were debated in trying to impact democracies. Do YOU  Think these would make a positive difference?

An issue that we discussed was education, they said that education was a good discussion because then they could read about the candidates and then they can know who is the better person to vote for. We also talked a lot about equal rights. In a lot of countries people are discriminated because or their religion, race, gender, etc.

2. What did you enjoy?

I enjoyed it a lot because everyone got to participate and everyone had an option.

3. What was the hardest part of this project?

I think that the hardest part of this project was finding people to write a resolution that everyone would like and making it so that it is very clear.

En Guatemala los deportes muy importante es…

• Beisbol

Por beisbol tu nessisita un bate y un guante.

• Basquetbol

Por basquetbol tu nessisita la pelota y  la red.

• Football

Por football tu nessisita el gol y patear mucho.

• Voleibol

Por voleibol tu nessisita el uniforme y la red

This movie was about a girl who learned to hunt with  eagles from her father. She was the first girl ever win the Eagle Contest. This is important because it tells girls that they are important also. I liked how her dad said that Girls can do anything, boys need to try hard. This means that girls and boys are equal, this is important to me because I am a girl and I don’t want to be told I am less important or I can’t do things because I am a girl.

I think that my favorite film that we saw today was STRONG WATER. This film was about how a bunch of guys cleaned out a river and then they created a wave, now people go surfing in it. I think that is a cool idea.  It can be important to Montana  because it can attract tourists. It is also very impactful to the environment because they had to clean out the river so that it could be safe enough to swim in. I think that a lot more places should do this. I think that they should do it on the Grand River, I think that a lot of people would enjoy it.

This is a picture of someone water surfing

Who am I?

One verse that spoke to me was the verse: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. This verse reminds me that I am made by God and he thinks that I am perfect no matter what. Another verse that spoke to me was: Go and make disciples of all nations. I drew a picture of a bunch of people all standing around the world.

Who are we?

One verse that spoke to me was: Do not think of yourself more highly than others. For this I drew a picture of someone standing overtop of someone. The person on the top is thinking that they are the best person in the world and the person underneath is thinking about how much they want to be like that person. I also wrote GRACE in big letters, because we need to show grace to people who mess up, because we all mess up.

Who is he?

One verse that spoke to me was: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me? O my God I cry out to you day and night but you don’t answer.  This verse reminds me that God is not always happy sunshines and rainbows. But God has emotions and he gets mad. I also wrote God is… Love, Creative, the only one, a jealous God punishing the sins for generations and generations. 

Some of our group goals are:
