Ooops. Again.

Grossest thing I have ever done or seen. By far!

Yes once again i forgot to make a post yesterday. Well I remembered when it was too late and I was to tired. Since this has happened twice, I am now just going to write posts when I feel like it. I don't think I should feel bad for forgetting, or it being boring so I am gonna write when my day has been interesting. And yesterday was very interesting. At around 3 we left for Calacali to go see cows get slaughtered. I did not think it would be very fun or appetizing. But I went and so did Erin. Then after that we went to the mall El Bosque and ate yum, yum. I promise you I did not eat anything that had to do with a cow, I simply had chicken. Then we just kinda hung out and went more shopping. SO yeah, but I had tons of fun! And today I am excited because we have teen night SURVIVOR theme tonight. The after I am going to Erin's house to spend the night. YAY I can't wait. Ok well see ya hopefully sometime this week, if my days are interesting.

Ooops.

Ok so Last night I was in bed almost asleep, then I remembered I forget to write a blog for today, well now its actually yesterday. So I am writing this for yesterday. Yesterday all I did was school, shop, and soccer. But I got to say that soccer was so fun yesterday. Well Yeah thats All I got oh yeah and one of my best friends in Colorado sent me a cute picture frame thingy too. Oh shoot well I got to go and eat and do math. Which I hate by the way.

Today was really fun, and busy. I first did school. Then we went to history and science class, then right after that we went to the orphanage. Little 3month Viviana was smiling huge today. It just made my day. Then once she fell asleep, I went to go help with the four older kids. The only people in the building were me and one other tia. And the kids were being CRAZY!!!! Then we had a new missionary family over for dinner, they are still here actually, so yep. Well I guess I got to go and socialize. See ya!

My painting. Well I did it with water color.

Monday.

Me having fun with photo booth

Skype chat with Megan

Facebook chat with Erin

Today was well lets just say that it was a monday. I pretty much just did school, eat my moms mac and cheese, skyped, played with photo booth, soccer, and showered, and I chatted with Erin on Facebook for a while. And soon I am gonna go eat dinner. Sorry this is so boring. I think all the interesting days quit once all of our visitors left. Now I pretty much do the same thing everyday. But I will try not to complain because I know God has me here right now. So I am just going to take it one step at a time. Bye bye.

No title.

In other words this weekend went by way to fast.

Mario Kart, and Card Games.

Saturday! Yay! Me and Erin have been hanging out all day. Until about 6:15 with another girl from youth group named Carolina. She is really nice. So today I got to practice more spanish too. :) All we did was play dutch blitz, Mario kart, oh and we went to my brother's baseball games. But it was fun. Oh yeah and we also did a photo shoot. And once everyone left my dad made his famous french fries and hamburgers. Yum. OK well I am really tired, probably from staying up until midnight last night. Ok well goodnight.

Scream.

 Today I only had math and history, since it's a friday. But when I was walking towards my room Micah asked me a question. He said "Katelyn is that a real spider or a fake one?"In a scared tone. I looked and all I saw was his huge legs. I screamed than everyone came and we were all super scared. We swore we saw it moving. Then I called Isabel and she runs up with a broom. All of us are standing there, super scared and she put the broom there and a BIG huge black spider came out. We all stared at it then started screaming. Until we realized that it was just a fake spider. Then we start laughing. But seriously that really scared me. Anyway I am really excited because Erin is coming over for a sleepover that is once pico y placa ends. But I am happy. Ok well I hope ya'll have a happy weekend.

The spider was right under those stairs

My story

This is what I wrote. I hope you like it.

Support

Josephine was in the kitchen washing dishes, as her mother walked in. “The principal called,” she said, “You had detention three times this week Jo?” “Why, why?”

“Mom i’m sorry, it’s Stacey.” Jo said. “ She has been bullying me ever since the year started, I have tried to do something nice, and she just goes and tells the teacher.

“Oh real mature!” Her mom yelled. “You are almost fifteen Josephine.” “You should know better.” 

“I know it’s just it has been really hard settling in here.” “You have to realize that everyone calls me the “new girl”, and I just don’t fit in.”

“Well you have Olivia she is like your best friend.” Her mom stated.

“ Yeah one friend, most girls there have like 10 friends!” “Ok well mom I am sorry, I will try to act better.”

“Oh honey come here,” Jo walked across the kitchen and gave her mom a hug. “I am so sorry honey, I know it is hard for you to be the “new girl” and I will try to be a bit less strict.” “I am sorry that my job transferred us here, but they did. It is not my fault, sweetie.” I love you.”

“I love you too mom.”

“Ok now go upstairs and do your homework.” Her mom said.

While up in her room, Jo looked out the window and saw girls ice skating on the pond across the road. She sighed “ awww that looks like fun.” “I better start on my algebra.” She went to her bed, and there right on her bed was the school’s brochure. And there it said in italic letters “ New to Our School, Ice Skating!”  She gasped. “Just what I need.”

The next day. She was walking into the school. “Hey Liv” Jo said. Olivia turned around.

“Hey Jo!” “How are you?” 

“Good I guess.” “You?”

“I am good too.” Did you here that we have a sub teacher in science today?” Olivia stated.

“No” “Why?”

“Miss Belemy is sick” She said. Ring ring! “Oh well time for math.” “See you at lunch.”

“Ok, bye.” 

As Jo was walking into her writing class, she see’s Stacey with her friends whispering and staring at her. Jo just rolls her eyes. Even though on the inside her heart is about to break. She hears her say. “Eww look at those clothes, I think I am gonna barf.” Her friends start laughing. Then she hears them talk about ice skating. “Did you here that the school has ice skating now?” I am totally gonna do it.” The sign up sheet is  hanging up by the principal’s office.”

“Good morning students.” Miss Smith walked in. “ I hope you all did last nights homework.” As Miss Smith was lecturing, all Jo was thinking about was if she knew where the principal’s office was. Right when the bell rang. Jo ran as fast as she could towards the principal's office.

“ Yes, I found it.” As she was writing her name down Stacey walked up behind her. She cleared her throat.

“Nice handwriting for a girl who is going to fail at skating.” She said in a mean tone. Jo tried so hard just ignore her, but she couldn’t.

“Stacey why are you so mean to me?” I din’t do anything to you.” Jo cried.

“But isn’t it the job for the popular girls to beat down the new girls?” Stacey walked away. I am gonna prove Stacey wrong. Jo thought.

Once she got home from school she thought, “Today is tryouts.” She ran upstairs and got dressed into sweats and a t-shirt. Mother won’t be back until late tonight. She thought, I should be back before she get’s home. She put the cat away and locked the door. “My dreams here I come!” She smiled and started walking to the school. She just got to the ice rink, where there was girls showing what they can do.

“May I help you?” A nice short lady asked her.

“Yes, I would like to tryout for ice skating, please.”

“Ok come right this way ma’am.” Jo followed this lady to the bleachers. “Ok put your things here, then meet me down on the ice.” Jo put her things there, put on her skates and walked down to her. “What is your name?”

“Josephine, but you may call me Jo if you like.”

“Ok, Jo show me what you got.” The lady said in excitement. A song started playing  and Jo started skating. The lady just stood there in awe. From across the ice Stacey was watching her too. She looked very jealous. “ Wow, Jo you are in.” Jo stopped.

“Really?” The lady nodded. “Thank you!”

The lady said, “On one condition, you have the $450 right?”

“Um well not really.” Jo said. There was a long silence. then the coach said,

“ We would love to have you on our team, but we will not allow you to come without paying. Jo looked down. She kept talking, “But I will consider it and give you a call.”

“Really?” Jo said with excitement.

“Yes, I am not allowed to but I will consider it. Please give me your number.

“Ok It is 469-1308, that is my home phone.

“Ok I will talk to you soon, Jo. Bye” Jo waved goodbye. As Jo was walking home she started dancing. That night before her mom was home the coach called and told her  that she was able to participate. She said that practices were in the morning from 5:30 to 7:30, and that they would have a big competition in 2 months. That wednesday night she prayed to God and thanked him. Even though her father died. She still had some hope left in life.

After manny practices of skating, her mom was wondering why her grades where going down. “Honey why have you been leaving so early to do extra school, and your grades have been going down?” “It does not make sense?”

“Uh I don’t know mom?” But I got to go now, bye!” 

“Wait!” Jo ran into her and her skates fell out of her backpack. “Jo!” Her mom yelled. “You have been ice skating all along?” “Haven’t you?” 

“Mom I am sorry, but I love it!” Jo said.

“Well I am not going to allow it any longer!” Said her mom.

“But mom there is a competition tomorrow.” “And I really want to go.”

“Too bad, that is not going to happen. Jo was going to say something but her mom cut in “because you are failing your classes and you went behind my back.” “That’s why.” Jo ran up to her room crying. 

The next day she decided she was going to go to the competition. While she was there she was really nervous. And it didn’t help that she din’t have her mom’s support. She hears the reporter say “Next up, Josephine Wild.”

Josephine went out there, her song started playing and she wan’t doing her routine, she looked very sad, and she was not even trying. Until she saw her mother sitting on one of the bleachers. Then Jo started to do a splendid job. She realized that all she needed was her mom’s support.

It's the Cute and Cuddly one's you Have to Watch out for

We also played spanish bingo in spanish class today.

Today was really cloudy, especially when I first woke up. It actually rained this morning for like 5 minutes.  For snack I had ice coffee, and banana bread. Even though it was a cold day, I still like my coffee iced. I don't like hot drinks, at all. Then after school we went to the orphanage, in a taxi. My dad had pico y placa. So he could not drive. And my mom was at the mall so we took a taxi. Man the kids in the toddler house are crazy. I think I have at least a couple of bruises from there. And there was this one kid who was super cute and cuddly but then he started pulling my hair and stuff. And this one boy's diaper was just sagging in his pants and we told the Tia and she just laughed. What up with that??? Anyways I also wrote for about 2 hours today. I wrote a story for me online writing teacher. I am really happy that tomorrow is a friday! I am hoping Erin can come and sleepover. OK well goodnight.

Skype Date.

Hmmmm. Ok so today we well uh did school, No Duh!!! Then walked to the tienda. Got me some banana chips. Then well you see for the past couple days, Me and my friend Megan have been wanting to skype. And today it finally happened. I was so happy seeing her. It brightened up my day. :) Do you know what I thought would be cool? To hang a hammock in my room. Haha that is me just dreaming. Then we went to My dad's work, HCJB and had dinner, a soup dinner actually. But I ate SOOOOOOOOOO much dessert!!! It was so yummy.

Anyways after practice, I was going to the bathroom and this girl walked in on me, and she just held the door open with her mouth wide open! Yeah I should of locked she should of knocked. I was just glad it was a girl.  So at 8 I have a skype date with Megan! Yay I literally cant wait.  Ok well have a great night!

Preachers Words

Luke 9:46-50
46 An argument started between the disciples, as to which of them would be the greatest. 47 Jesus knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. 48 Than he said to them:"Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all- he is the greatest." 49 "Master" said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us." 50 "Do not stop him," Jesus said, "for whoever is not against you is for you."

MY dad's sermon. In English.

Sunday is Living up to it's Name

I wore a sun dress today. It was sooo sunny once again. I am loving it. Today my dad preached! He preached on Who will be the greatest. Of course it was in spanish, but I read a long in my english bible. And I just love hearing his voice. After that we had a sandwich lunch because we are having The president of HCJB over for dinner. So it is going to be a BIG dinner, or so my mom says. We better act well. Haha. I really hope tomorrow is as sunny as today was. Even though I start school tomorrow, I think I am more motivated when I see sunshine. Happy Sunday!
