Surprise for TOMORROW!!!

HI!!!


Tomorrow our friends, Jacob (7?), David (4), and Colin (2??) are coming for an ALL day visit!! Well, not really a visit, my mom offered to keep the boys so their dad could go shopping in the 'big cities' (hee-hee). They arrive at...... 8:30 (maybe sooner or later). And they'll be staying ALL day! Like, my mom invited them to stay in eat. This is like Buzz's dream come true!! Jacob is his best friend. (They're Batman freaks!! Acck!! :P Johnny's the 'Joker' :D) Soooooooooo, what a surprise!!! I'm really excited, like the rest of the crew!!! Haha!! (If anyone is wondering, we don't have a Mr. Potato set, FEEEUUWW!!)




Hopefully an awesome day is on the way!!!

Bake Sale!!

So, a couple months ago I had this idea to do a Bake Sale, raise the money, and then give it to a translator that'll go into the village sometimes. But then a couple months later (this was about the beginning of May), a friend we know, that lives here but is on furlough at the moment, sent out an email saying that they needed to raise a whole lota' money!! Well, my mom told me about it and I wanted to do the Bake Sale for them, so I decided to ask Addie (since she was doing it with me) if that was ok to do it for someone SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW!! She was fine with that, we asked our friend, Emerald, if she wanted to do the bake sale with us. At first she was hesitant, but she agreed (a few days later).

Here is what we sold:

Banana Cake

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sugar Cookies

and

Pretzels

The pretzels are one of the best things EVER!!!! I baked the banana cakes, Emerald did the chocolate chip cookies, Addie, pretzels, and Addie and I did the sugar cookies. 

We raised......

Over 100 dollars!!! 

We sold ALL the cookies and pretzels and some of the banana cakes!!!! It was awesome!!! 

Thanks Addie and Emerald for helping me! And Mr. L, Mrs. K, and their family!!!

I'm glad to have helped some friends so they can put God's Word into others language!!

Summer...

Ok, I'm not going to go into the whole '7th grade thing' today. ;) At least let's hope not!! SO things I would like to do (but I can't because I must do school) are...

• Re-Read the Left Behind >The Kids<  Books
• Go to the beach... A LOT!!
• Go to the Waterfall
• Make a friendship bracelet for ALL my friends that are here (at the moment)
• Figure out how to do something AMAZINGLY COOL with my hair
• Get a lot better at soccer
• Play lots with Addie
• Get REAL wet (yeah, good luck on that one, Abrielle)

I'll put this list again at the end of the summer, BUT the things I did (if I did ANY of them ONCE) will have a line crossed through it.

Have an AWESOME summer!!

Meeting

JUNE?!?!

It CANNOT already be June, CAN IT???? I mean, 1 month ago, 1 month ago, I was still in 6th grade. I am now considered a 7th grader!!!!!!! I mean, it feels like my friend, Alex, handed over her grade to me and it feels like I handed my grade over to Adelaide. Which I guess is true. But I've felt like 7th grade was FOREVER away, but NOW I am a 7th grader.

SO back to the whole post...

JUNE

AMERICA

• It's the beginning of summer. 
• There are (I think) lots of flowers
• It's time to go swimming
• You have NO school for, like, 3 months

PAPUA

• It's STILL summer
• There are SOME flowers (like always)
• It's time to go swimming like we could all year
• The only difference is that there is no school really

So, WHOA!!!! I'm a 7th grader?????? Sorry, can't get that through my head. ;) But, my friends (the ones in Addie's class) have already gotten it. They're always saying how they are now 6th graders, and I want to go 'hey, you guys are in 5th grade right?' And then I go, 'they're right, I'm a... 7th grader??' 

SO......

I CAN"T BELIEVE I'M IN 7TH GRADE!!!!!!!! Ok, sorry.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Whoa!!! I am now considered a 7th grader!!! WOW!!! Me??? Was just one year ago when I became a 6th grader!?!?!?? That seems like it was forever ago and then I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I'M A 7TH GRADER ALREADY!!! Time flies when you're having fun!! And, boy, I am!!! Man, I'm a 7th grader???????? I can't believe it, I'm still 11. That makes me the youngest 7th grader at the moment. My birthday's in August...

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!


Fun post...

1 Year Late Post But..

This is a little late, yeah, like, a year. But we went to the beach yesterday (WILL POST SOON!) so I feel like putting a different beach post first...

So this was April 18, 2012. Our GREAT friends invited us to go to the beach with them because the kids grandparents were visiting so they wanted to go to the beach. This is the 'Boat Beach'.

Doesn't this river look fun? You MUST drive through it.

Yikes

Some guys trying to get the mud out of the road, or something like that

Wonderful Indonesian Statue: I have NO idea WHAT it'd for

{3 AWESOME Things Happened} [And one not so awesome thing]

New Glasses!!

1. I got new glasses yesterday!! They are green with some dark gray!! If you’re wondering, YES, they ARE Indonesian glasses. More like Papuan glasses. A friend recommended this shop for them being cheap. And, oh YEAH, they were cheap!! Here you would say they were about 400.000, in America that would be about 40 dollars!! Which my first glasses were about 160 dollars!! Whoa!! 
2. Last night, we got Nasi Kuning for dinner!! Which, if I haven't already told you, is my most favorite food here!! I LOVE it!! BTW, it means 'Yellow Rice'.
3. I got 'I <3 Papua' shirt!! It's teal!! (Close enough to my favorite color, aquamarine!!

• Bad Thing: ***sigh*** My dog, Phoebe, disappeared the other day. :( It's sooo sad, and she hasn't come back. What really ticks me is that Papuans will steal dogs so they can eat them. :',( Please pray I will adjust right now as we have no more dogs after having 3 (including Phoebe).

Well, we are having some friends over for dinner that just got back! That's exciting!! Happy you guys are back Mr. S, Mrs. L, Annie, Emily (same name as my sister!!), and Issac!!
