Two Friends

Once upon a time there were two friends, Science guy and History guy.  One time they were looking for science stuff.  They found fossils inside rocks.  And they thought they finished the mission and they were very happy. They went to eat lunch and they wanted to look more the next morning.  They left Science guy's house and they found a rock with a lot of fossils. They wanted to get the fossils. Later, History guy was looking for things to work with. And in a tree there was a big hole and he said, "Science guy come here and look at the tree that has been struck by lightening."  History guy climbed the tree, which was very big. After that, they went to the laboratory.

Salvation Soccer balls and Baseball Gloves

Last week my Gramma and Grampa came to visit me in Honduras.  They brought some stuff with them.  Two important things they brought were soccer balls that I will explain in a minute and baseball gloves.

The person that sent the soccer balls is one of my friends.  His name is Samuel.  I met him when he came from Oklahoma to visit his grandparents last summer. They live next door to my Gramma. He told me on skype that every Christmas his Grampa Allen and Gramma Kay give him money.  Part of it is to help someone, and the other he can spend.  He decided to do something for me, to help me tell the story of Jesus while I am playing soccer with Hondurans.  He sent two soccer balls and a bunch of little booklets that talk about Salvation.  I want to keep one of the balls to carry around.  I think it will be good because it is so cool looking it will start conversations about Jesus wherever I go.  The other ball I plan take when I go with my dad to a coffee farm and give it to a family there.  I am going to post pictures of this after I do it.  I would now, but I don't have pictures of this.  I think these soccer balls are great.  Samuel is a great person and a good friend.  I want to thank him very much.

Another important thing my Gramma brought was baseball gloves.  My cousin, named Kristopher, sent them.  They are good because they can help with the baseball teams we have already started.  There are always kids that need a left handed glove and we never have enough.  How great is that, that he sent extra left handed gloves!

Thank you very much to these people if you are looking at the blog right now.

I got to go on a field trip to a place called Comayagua.  They talked about history but I couldn't understand much of it because it was all in Spanish.  We rode on a bus... a very fast bus.  The road up to Comayagua was very turny.  It was a pretty big bus.  We also went to Pizza Hut and they had a mini-soccer field inside Pizza Hut!
School is alright... it is not my favorite thing in the world.  We play soccer every recess there is.  There is actually 3 recesses, plus lunch.  I think I've gotten pretty good at playing soccer.  You know when I came here I was not very good.  Some of the kids are SUPER good!  Some of them can do bicycle kicks!  I saw a boy named Jonathan do a big one!  I really like computer class because after we finish doing what we are supposed to do we can play games.
Jonathan also plays baseball with us.  Some of the other boys name's are Fernando, Derickson, Josue, Jose, Luis Angel, and sometimes David.  There are more boys too.  It is very fun playing with them since I get to play a sport I liked playing back in the states.
I'm not really sure if we are going to go home to the United States when school is over.  Maybe, maybe not.  If not I am starting to make friends here.  I think it will be good because maybe next year we will get to be even better friends.  Maybe God will use us to spread His word through the gardening and teaching people.  Last night we were invited as special guests to go to a church in the mountains with someone my dad has been working with.  We went and it was very cool!  We listened to the sermon, I got to play soccer with some boys, and my dad got to talk a little bit, and we gave them soccer uniforms and a ball.  Things like this are pretty cool!
A couple weeks ago we also got to go up into the mountains to play baseball.  Most of the kids that played were pretty little, bit they had a lot of fun!  Everyone that was playing had a big smile on their face.  Afterwards we had a little Bible school and we sang songs and had a little lesson.
Last week at something called Civic Hour I got to do a puppet show with my mom.  That was very cool too.  We were trying to teach a Bible verse, 2Timothy 2:15.  I think we did pretty good.
I tell you more next time!
