Yes, school has started. The great feeling that you get to talk with your friends, meet the new people and get all your new books is gone. The teachers are already talking about tests. Some- no, most- of them are already giving tests and giving you more and more homework.
So, what am I doing at this time of year? I'm taking as many tests as I know I will do well in, reading books, doing stuff early... you know what I mean!
But even though that's now very exciting, my life sure is. God makes sure of that!
School is exciting => my Math teacher didn't want to give me a 4(B) even though I was OK with one
Home is exciting => lots of people around, 2 younger sisters, yummy dinners, fun games to play...
Town is exciting => tours to give, stores to go to
Something else that is very, very exciting is AFRICA! => Although I do have work to do, it's fun and I can't wait to start studying James with the others who are going! =)
And the most exciting thing is GOD Himself => learning about Him through His Word (the most amazing book), praying to Him with new ways learned at Camp, talking to people about Him, sharing my thoughts about Him through poems ... I could go on forever!

Africa Adventure
Two weeks. Two countries. Two compounds. Too amazing to describe.
This November I will have the amazing privilege to go on an African Adventure. I will be going to Ethiopia and Uganda with a leader, Laurie Doden, and two other girls, MK friends I’ve had since moving to Slovenia. We’ll visit the compound Project Mercy in Ethiopia and the compound New Hope in Uganda. The compounds consist of orphanages, hospitals, schools for all ages, dairy farms, irrigated farming and a lot more.
While there we will be helping out wherever needed. I am very excited to play with the kids and also see how the people live.
The main goals for this trip are:
1. to learn about God
2. to learn how people live in Ethiopia and Uganda and how the missionaries are helping them
3. to learn about me and what God wants to do in my life
I am also going to be learning and doing a lot before going, like memorizing verses, writing reports on the countries, writing book reports on missionary biographies and (unfortunately everything costs money) earning money.
If you would like to learn more about the places I’m going to, you can look on these websites:

JV Kids' Camp 2007
JV Kids' Camp was a time of prayer
and kids with joyful faces everywhere.
A time of laughter and of great fun,
playing games where everyone won.
Queen Blue and Becca taught us many things
about praying and talking to God for a while.
We read from the Bible that when we pray
God's happy and smiles for us a great big smile.
With ZeTeO and Journey we sat on the beach
reading and thinking about what God wants to teach.
Prayer time with ZeTeO under the shade of a tree
realizing how God has changed me.
Praying not only with talking and words
but drawing and thinking a prayer in our hearts.
Learning that I can stand strong with God's help
and not fear all of conquered Satan's darts.
Diving for shells and starfish too
swimming with friends in the very cold sea.
Watching skits and having a great time
with people that understand the world around me.
Shhh, this part's a little secret!
Sleeping under the stars, us ZeTeO girls.
Reading the funniest book by far
and seeing an amazing shooting star.
Worshiping by the water, watching a beautiful sunset
singing a song of God's wonderful love.
Sitting back, resting, giving myself to God with no fear,
thanking Him for JVK Camp this year.

JVK Camp this year was so much fun! We got to go to the Croatian seaside! I really enjoyed learning about prayer. We all really missed our friends that weren't there, but had a bunch of fun getting to know the ones that were there better. It was really a time I will remember with great memories.
Dictionary:
Queen Blue- Andrea Pitcher, a missionary that works with Josiah Venture
Becca- Becca McMartin in the leader of all the Third Culture Kids in JV. She is an amazing person!
ZeTeO and Journey- as JV Kids we are divided into groups by age. These are the two oldest groups.
