May 23, 2011 – 7:10 a.m.
This past weekend was busy, but it is going to be what all our weekends are like. I loved it! Friday night high schoolers, Saturday afternoon Tweens, and Sunday morning children’s Bible class. Tweens and Bible class are the times Dean and I are planning absolutely everything and teaching everything. Tweens will be doing Armor of God throughout the summer and Bible classes will be doing Moses. The things we taught this last weekend went well, but we definitely have room to improve.

The Friday night high schoolers really enjoyed having us there. Most of them remembered Dean from when he lived here two years ago. Some of the girls wanted to be my Facebook friends, so I’m still working on that. I really am looking forward to our week of Teen camp that we will be leaders for.
Saturday was definitely an experience. It was a fun experience, but a little frustrating at times, great fun other times, really hot sometimes, and extremely tiring. This week I will be learning some phrases in Samoan, and I am sure they will respond better to those. Sometimes, some of the tweens would kind of listen to me when I’d say come sit down over here, but when did would say it in Samoan, they’d all come running over to plop down on the grass. I hope to know some phrases by the time we have our next Tween activity.
My favorite part of Saturday was probably the Minute to Win it game that we played. They were split up into teams and had to get 3 empty soda cans from one table into a pyramid on another table using a piece of spaghetti to transfer the cans. We started off with them holding the spaghetti in their hands and the can could not touch their hands and the spaghetti could not break. When we saw that they did that version well, we had them hold the spaghetti in their mouths. Just look at the pictures and you’ll understand. We then did a little singing and Bible study about the Belt of Truth. Then each Tween made their own belt of truth. Each link has a true statement about God on it.

Sunday morning, I taught the little kiddos. I had ages 3 – 4th grade. I did have a translator for this one, Manda. She really was a huge help! The younger ones especially have a difficult time completely understanding directions in English. They all understand English, but it’s more difficult. Church was a wonderful experience. We sang songs in both English and Samoan, we prayed in Samoan usually, and then we had a sermon: David Willis preaching in English and Tia (one of the elders) translating in Samoan.
This weekend really was a pretty typical weekend of what we’ll be doing this summer. During this week we’ll do a lot of planning and going around the island. Today, Dean and I will go with David to run some errands. I’ll be able to see the hospital, something else, and Pago Pago Harbor…you can find pictures online via Google images, or you can just wait for me to post pictures. We will see Flower Pot which is a rock formation just off the coast. I think that is where we’ll actually be able to play in the water and practice snorkeling. I’m really excited about it! I think we’re also planning to go on a hike and play another game of golf this week. I also hope that Danna and I will be able to find a time to go get a “puletasi” made. (The traditional Samoan dress) Danna did give me a “lavalava.” Which is just a wraparound. Men and women wear it, and it is considered respectful to wrap your waist before seeing your elders. I’ll probably wear one today because I’ll be wearing my swim shorts underneath so we can swim at Flower Pot. I’ll have to take pictures so you can see what a “lavalava” looks like.
Well, I’m off to get ready for the day. Thank you all for reading! And make sure you read Dean’s blog at www.deanwillis.blogspot.com.

Man… games like a minute to win it corresponding with bible study is just so unique for these teens. It’s fun for the most part. I mean, being in college, and having the best assignment writers UK based, taking care of my tasks, I’m thinking to enroll myself into this program for the sake of Christ’s love.

I loved reading this blog, how you plan your three-day activities and end your week in the name of the Lord is so beautiful and graceful. I still remember the time that when I spent Friday afternoon with my family eating pot roast and mash potatoes, give my Saturday assignments to the assignment help Jeddah that I can take the car and my friends, and drive up to the hills for night camping. Then I also like to end my week with mass

Ubranka dla dzieci

Jakie są najlepsze ubranka dla dzieci w podróży?
Jeśli podróżujesz gdzieś samochodem, rozważ pozostawienie obszernego płaszcza lub kombinezonu śnieżnego, a następnie założenie go przed wyjściem z samochodu. Zdaniem ekspertów, zbyt obszerna odzież zimowa może wpłynąć na skuteczność dziecięcych pasów bezpieczeństwa i uniemożliwić dostateczne zaciśnięcie uprzęży. Inną opcją jest ubranie maluszka w śpioch i czapkę, zapięcie klamer fotelika, a następnie ułożenie warstw kocyków na wierzchu. Jeśli planujesz przewozić swoje dzieckow wózku lub przenośnym foteliku samochodowym warstwy znów są najważniejsze, z kombinezonem na wszystko, jeśli to możliwe. Unikaj bardzo grubych skarpet w butach zimowych, ponieważ mogą one spowodować, że buty staną się zbyt ciasne i ograniczą krążenie w stopach – jeśli dziecko musi nosić grube skarpetki, upewnij się, że jego buty są o jeden rozmiar większe niż zwykle, aby zapewnić miejsce na skarpeta. Chociaż odmrożenia zdarzają się rzadko, mogą być niezwykle poważne, a ryzyko dotyczy głównie uszu, dłoni i stóp dziecka. Najlepiej też unikać ubrań i akcesoriów ze sznurkami lub sznurowadłami, ponieważ mogą one stwarzać ryzyko uduszenia. Chociaż wszystkie te wskazówki i ostrzeżenia mogą początkowo wydawać się nieco przytłaczające, zorganizowanie i przygotowanie znacznie ułatwi życie Tobie i Twojemu maleństwu na dłuższą metę.

With ample storage shelves and hooks, I can easily organize everything from my shovels and rakes to my gloves and watering can. Not only is it functional, but it’s also aesthetically pleasing with its charming design and natural wood finish. I love the way it blends seamlessly into my backyard oasis and adds a touch of rustic charm. It’s so convenient to have everything I need at my fingertips, and I can’t wait to spend more time in my garden thanks to my new gardening shed!
