Plant a seed

           Sorry I have not written in a while, I have been busy with school, but I did find something that inspired me to write today, so thank you, Mrs. Shackley! The sign said "No one can do everything, but everyone can do something." What this means to me is that we can't get all this money all by ourselves. 

We are going to need some help and that is were you come in, even if you can just give a little, God will use that. A few days ago we took our savings, prayed over it, and sent it off. Our goals for helping in Uganda are big though, and we need help. 
My Mom told us that God will multiply our money. That this is just one seed we planted. Now we just have to patiently wait. 

I just want to say that us going to Africa is not going change everything. Only God can do that but if every one does a little to help it will make a difference. Five dollars can heal a kid in Africa from Malaria or get a toy for a kid that will always makes them smile. Simple things mean so much to these children.

Will you help?

Today I am going to tell you about our "Donate Button". 

As you know we are raising money for Return Ministries to build a children's home and school. They have a plan to start with one phase and then do the next; but to do this they also need land. My family is cutting back on things like TV, soda, we only go to restaurants occasionally (like on weekends...kids eat free at Steak n' Shake) and...                                               AIR CONDITIONING!!!

My challenge to you is when you go shopping (or anywhere) think of what you need and not what you want.

(P.S  Thanks if you Donate)

Hannah

In Africa you make friends fast.Where here it takes time to find just the right moment to talk with them. But I only got to know a few kids really well in Africa. One of them was named Hannah.She is 10 years old and the only girl my age that I would take home in a second. She is very pretty ( and even when no one was aloud to dance she did all the motions with me in the song Lord I Love To Sing Your Praises). When we were on a walk she told me about everything and picked flowers(some kids even got in the lake).And when we left it felt so bad to just leave her behind and go back to a wasteful place (it took forever to stop crying).My challenge to you this week is to talk to someone you normally don't talk to and see if God can build a friendship.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             By chloe mcmorris :p!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

ABOUT ME! ...and a Challenge

     My name is Chloe. I have 6 siblings and 2 cats. I'm in 5th grade. I went to Africa over the summer and will be going back next summer, but instead of just my mom, dad and me, my whole family will come. Next summer we will be going to Return Ministries and we are raising money to help them get land to build a school and home for the children.The kids in Africa are very creative. They make really pretty bracelets out of yarn and toy cars out of wire. They love simple things like holding your hand. They make the best out of the worst.

This week my challenge to you is to make the best out of the worst and tell me about it in the comment section!
