A bunch has happend!!!

So, I know I haven't written in a long time, but I have been really busy with THIS:

• Well yeah school started but that had already happend the last time I wrote. School is fun, but I have a lot of homework and we are writing a bunch of tests, but I think most people are.

• I got a new violin teacher! I like her SO much! She is a great teacher.
  

• Then it was my Birthday! Yeah! On my birthday I was mostly with family. It was so much fun!

• My moms surgery was pretty scary for me at the beginning ! I knew God would take care of her but there is always that fear. But she still alive and is recovering great!
  

• Than I went to America!!! WOO HOO! That was a blast! I actually went because I need to go to an EN&T doctor, but I got to do way more than that. I got to see grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins and spend special time with all, plus I got to have some special father daughter time with dad. It was all so much fun and I am so happy I got to go! (the doctor gave some really good advice, but if I don't get all the way better I will have to have surgery next summer so PLEASE pray for that.)

• Than it was Kileys birthday! That was fun to. (I guess these whole 2 monthes have been really fun.) On her birthday we where just family untile 6 .Than the other fam came over (our team). It was really fun and we had a blast just hanging out and being toghether.

So I guess that is kinda all that has happend this past little bit. Now that I look back it is a lot busier than it seemed at the time! It was all a bunch of fun and I still have a lot to look forward to in this school year: We are going to a Thanksgiving JV conference in about a week. MY COUSINS ARE COMING FOR CHRISTMAS!!! So life is great!

Hey everyone!I was looking through a song book and I want to want to share with you one of the songs I really liked:

Shout to the North
Men of faith raise up and sing
Of our great and glorious King
You are strong when you feel weak
In you brokeness complete

Shout to the north and the South
Sing to the East and the West
Jesus is savior to all
Lord of heaven and earth

Rise up women of the truth
Stand and sing to broken heats
Who can know the healing power
Of our awesome King of love

Rise up church with broken wings
Fill this place with songs again
Of our God who reigns on high
By His grace again we'll fly

I just think that this is a great song and wanted to share it with all of you!

Please Pray!

Hey everyone! I am sick again. Not as sick as I was last year, but still sick. Please pray that I will get better and stay healthy. I really don't want to be sick this year!

JVK Camp 2008

Hey everybody!
Last week I was at JVK Camp (that is a camp for all of the missionary kids for our organization)! I had a lot of fun! Some of the things that we did are:

• SWAM!!!
• Learned about the Holy Spirit (kids ages 13-18 also learned about the Tabernacle)
• Did crafts
• Read the bible in our age groups (mine is AKIKO)
• Swung on a rope swing
• Played MAFIA! (only kids ages 13 and up+counselors)

The last day was one of the hardest last days I have ever had. We said goodbye to SO many of our good friends. It was a really hard thing to do. But one thing I realized through all of these goodbyes is that if we didn't love each other so much it wouldn't be so painful. And I decided that the love is so much more important to me even if it means that the pain sometimes comes. And that sometimes we need to have the pain so that we can realize how much we do love each other. And that we will still stay in contact with the people that are leaving because they where one of us. So it was a really good and sad day, but it has taught me a lot and I am happy I was there to experience it.

Summer

Oh my, I LOVE summer. For our family there is a lot of work to be done, but there is also a lot of time for play. This summer has been so much fun . The first big thing that I had was Junior High Camp which was a blast (pictures are still coming). I hung out with three girls who's names where Ana (Anna) , Tjaša (Tyasha) and Marija (Mary). I had SO much fun with them. That is really the main thing that all of our family has been a part of. Other things that our family has been doing is painting Kiley's room, just being toughether as a family, swimming (we have been doing a lot of that), Playing games and just relaxing.

My sisters

I just wanted to tell everyone what GREAT sisters I have. I am so blessed. I just wanted to tell everyone a little about them.

Meagan:
Meagan is 15 and is one of the most thoughtful people I have ever know and she loves the Lord with all her heart. She is such a great example of somebody who wants to serve the Lord and wants to be who the Lord wants her to be. I am so happy that I have a sister like her that I can look up to and learn from.

Kiley:
Kiley is 10 and this last little bit I have really seen who Kiley is and it helps me understand more about her and why she does stuff that she does. She is a little ball of energy and is great at gymnastics. She is a girl who loves to have fun. She loves the Lord and really wants to do what is right. She is one of the most truthful people I have ever known and I am so happy I have a little sister like her.

Bible Verse

Hey today I was reading my bible in the book of Psalms and I came upon a verse that I really like. It talks about how God is always there and how he knows everything about me. He knows my thoughts, he knows when I sit and when I stand, he knows when I am at home and when I am traveling. Here's the verse:

PSALM 139:1-6 (NLT)

1 O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I am far away.
3 You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hands of blessings on my head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
to great for me to understand!

Spring Conference

Spring Conference was a blast. CYT (Christian Youth Theater) came and taught the show Godspell. It is about the book of Matthew. Our teachers were Kristi Foster from CYT Vancouver, Larry Taylor also from CYT Vancouver and Christy Svoboda from CYT Chicago (Christy Svoboda also came 2 years ago and taught us the dance moves to the show Your a Good Man Charlie Brown). Kristy taught us songs, Larry taught us scene and Christy thaught us dance moves . It was so much fun. Conference started Wednesday evening around 6 o'clock. Every day we had practice in the morning for about 5 hours and at night for about 2 hours. It was a lot of fun. I had a solo which in the end was very had to sing because I got sick during conference. Friday night we played a night game Capture the Flag. Our team won one game and we tied the second game. Saturday we had midnight movies, but my group Akiko decided to have a game night instead of watching a movie. We played BANG! a really fun game. during the practice on Sunday morning they gave out prizes. One of the prizes was the "Rose Award" which was given to the person who was most like Jesus in that week. All the kids vote on who they think was the most like Jesus in that week the "winner" got the back drop from the play (you can see it in the video above) when they said my name I was so surprised I thought that Meagan was going to get it. Sunday morning at 10:30 we had our performance. I think we did great.

News

Aria is a great puppy! She learns so quick,but she is also a lot of work. She KINDA knows how to play fetch. You throw her toy and she runs, pounces on it and then brings it back to you. It is so cool to see her bounding up to you. Well that is my puppy data for right now. I'll post more later.

Aria

Hey everyone! We got a puppy! She is one of the puppies from Emma's liter. Her name is Aria. She is a bunch of fun and obeys very well. She is sleeping in her crate now. I already have a funny story about her. She has two toys a pig and a string (you can see them in the picture) and she guards them. We throw it to her and she runs, gets it and lays down just watching them. She is a wonderful addition to our family!

Knitting

While I haven't been feeling good I have been knitting! I have knit a whole 88 inch scarf in a day! It is so much fun to get to make your own things.
