8 Who came after Fernando Stahl?

Are you curious yet? I have the answer! My great grandfather Archie Field became a missionary in Peru after Fernando Stahl. He worked in the Lake Titicaca area. I recently had the privilege of going to Peru with Maranatha. My grandpa showed me the place he grew up in as a child and told me about his father and what he did.

Questions I would ask:

1. What was it like to follow Fernando Stahl?
2. Why did you want to be a missionary?
3. Was being a missionary the original goal for your life?
4. How was life in the area that you worked in?
5. Was it really hard living?
6. Did you ever get scared?
7. Did you ever get discouraged?
8. What did you mainly do for your mission work?
9. Were you readily accepted?
10. What are your best stories from your mission experience?

7 The Apple of Her Eye

The phrase was originally coined by Shakespeare; however, I found other information. Beyond all of that information, this phrase means something dear to the heart or cherished. Whatever Malus sylvestris* takes the place of her pupil must mean alot to her. In other words, this thing takes first place in her life. Most likely this would talk about a love of someone or maybe a dear relative. She should really move on to the citrus fruit though.


* Scentific name for apples

6 Oh Dear Me

I won't chronicle about this years teacher, but english in the past has caused my heart pain. I have always had trouble with the exceptions to the exceptions of the rules. I never get it right because there is no certain way to get it right. It makes me cry.
Why do you put the i before the e after the c except for some words? What if there were no exceptions to the rules? What if they were all exceptions to the rules? What if we all spoke another language? What if there were no hypothetical situations.
English still makes me cry. I remember my freshman year when I had to turn in a humorus essay. Oh the memories. I laughed over and over when I read it; however, that was not the case with my teacher or classmates. I made all the mistakes that could be made. In fact the only humorus part is looking back on this memory. I was humiliated even though no one knew I had written this catastrophe. But like all things, this did not last forever. I had been revealed and all the world had come crashing to an end. How would I survive.
You've probably read all my mistakes by now thinking this guy is hopeless. I am hopefully improving and I am enjoying my learning experience.

5 Microtrends?

If you're asking what microtrends are you are not alone! I had no idea until I read this article that confused me. If you've ever considered why teens and twenty-somethings are getting into knitting, you've just asked the million dollar question. Please let me know if you find the answer, because I'm still wondering why my sister spends hours of her shopping time in grandma maybell's knitting shop. Apparently that is an example of a microtrend. Young knitters or any trend that hits the 1 percent of the population is a microtrend.
I believe that the reason microtrends are growing is because so many people are followers. When a truly creative person begins something out of the ordinary and all the followers are the ones that bring about the trend because they wish they were as creative as that one person. For this reason people add themselves to the numbers that make this microtrend thing.
Can we really ask questions about Hillary and reason out an answer? No, I'm just kidding. Why would someone hire a musician for a party? Probably because that person doesn't play an instrument or if they do, they don't want to play during their own party. She hire him for help and she new he was someone that would only do her good.
I don't know much about our stands as a country. We seem to have the spirit of no specific truth and anything goes. Who knows where we could end up.
He claims it was not, but I'm sure it was. After all that seems to be the job description of people like Penn.
As for microtrends at weimar, well I'm still trying to understand the term. Maybe owning little balls on the end of strings or wearing slip-on shoes and I'm sure there are more to be mentioned but I won't take up usless space.

4 Remembering 9/11

Shivers went down my back as I heard and saw the news that morning. We were about to leave for school when my mom turned on the TV. I was experiencing every moment as it happened. All I can remember from that day were things like talking about what happened and our teacher made it into an assignment. I was tuned out thinking about families and people who had died or were going to die. It occupied my mind for a long time afterward.
Many photos came out to the public of the towers before that tragic day. I remember watching a video about how terrorists hoped they would change america by breaking us into pieces but my favorite thing about that video was that it showed normal houses and they the scene changed to those same houses with American flags on them. The video then said that they had changed America but they made us a tighter unit rather than breaking us down.
I believe that some of us may not want to remember and say we should forget. There are those who cannot. Lives were changed that are still being affected today. Families without fathers or mothers or without both. Parents who lost childern. Close relatives that will never be alive again, many for eternity. As much as it hurts to think about, it made us strong and it gave us a focus against terrorism. This may be something that we desagree on at times; however, our hold on terrorism may be something that no one else could do. I want people to remember that Satan has a hold of this world, but it is temporary and God will come again to prove that Satan's way was erronious.

3 Survival of the fittest (or at least the most luxurious)

I couldn't wait to set up my new tent. It was the kind that is meant to hold an entire family but you know that is a lie. I was excited because I only had to survive with two other bodies in the tent with me. There is something you need to know. What I enjoy most about camping is making the event as luxurious as possible. Air mattresses, lighting, shelves, fluffy pillows, battery heated sleeping bag, and plenty of snacks from the secret stash (Don't tell Ms. Chi) are a part of a good weekend under the stars which are above my ceililing. Mr. Bushnell asked us what time we had checked into our hotel and I thought that described our tent quite well.

2 Playing the Blame Game on illegal immagration

Yes, it is true that we have a high need for workers in this country. The fact that they put a strain on our medical and educational systems in america is something that we can't afford. Litteraly speaking, Americans can't afford to pay the taxes that the illegal aliens take advantage of. As illegal imigration continues the price we pay will increase to balance for the money they don't have to pay.
Do I think it is right to send people back to there own country after they have unrightfully buried shallow roots in America? For some, I believe achieveing citizenship would suffice; however, this might not be the case for most of the illegal aliens. I believe that there country needs to take more responsibility for the people that reside within its borders. Mexicans need to find their home in Mexico. Measures need to be taken to make this a possibility.
I believe that we need a higher security placed on the borders. The biggest issue is Mexico's issue. They need to step up and provide for their people instead of sending the poor to be delt with elsewhere. America wasn't the greatest country when it started out in the late 1700's; however, it has managed to maintain its own people and work on solving the problems instead of hiding from them.
I highly dissagree with President Felipe Calderon! He only wants to use America to dispose of his problems instead of working and solving these problems. He sounds like a high school student desparately trying to become popular. He clings to the United States to cover up its weakness and then he turns around and bashes America for making a stand on illegal immigration and the negative effects of these actions on it's own people.
At the time of the end, the Holy Spirit will be withdrawing and people are making immoral decions. "Men will run to and fro" in the end times. People are running from their country and from the country they are running to in order to live more luxurisly and for self. This climactic event in our earth's history is most definitely a sign of the end.

1 What Would Be our Modern Code of Chivalry

In our day and age we need some sound codes to put order back into our culture that praises the caveman in manliness and takes the princess out of being a lady.

~An Emphasis should be put on the teaching of manners and personal hyigene.
~Parents should not be afraid of discipline to teach obedience.
~The respect of elders should be taught because its biblical.
~The property of others should be respected.
~Friends and neighbors should be treated with dignity.
~Be kind because doing so is the best argument for christianity.
~Courteousness should be practiced by all until it becomes a habit.
~Don't let anything bad come out of your mouth (only speak what will benefit the hearers). Ephesians 4:29.
~Look for ways to be helpful.
~Keep a cheerful apperance.

Think on these things. Do they seem resonable? If so, find a way to apply these rules to your life.
