Happy April. wow where has time gone? It has been a fun filled year. I am almost finished the Junior year at High School. I recently wean to the Dominican Republic. It was amazing. I played violin and sang there. Oh, by the way Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit!

Wow, where does time go?? I have been so busy. Working on school, My hand bell solo, band, and orchestra. Yes you can say my schedule is..... Rough. I hope everything goes well. Just got back from a big Bell festival in Toledo Ohio.

I've been really busy the past months. In march I had the excitement to go to Jamaica. We went for 10 days. There I played hand bells. then in late June.July I went to Honduras. It was amazing people came to see the meetings I was hosting. It was a blast. 14 Baptisms and like 20 people planned to have bible studies. The experience was life changing. I am starting school in 1 week. so life may be hectic but I will try to post more often!

How rubber is made

People would have entire forests of these trees to produce rubber.

This is a rubber tree. In Guatemala I saw thousands of these trees. The people collect the sap of the tree and boil/ and even burn it, then it is mixed with some other chemicals and turned into rubber.

This was one Guatemalan woman at the ocean who wanted us to take her picture.

WOW! I totally just realized it's been like a long...... time since I last posted! So I thought I was due to write a little something. I have been so busy, Honers Western Civilization is a collage course I am taking as a sophomore. I am in Band, Coir, And hand bells. That and other school Projects have been keeping me busy. Also our church had a huge Yard Sale and raised over $700 for our trip to GYC(Generation Of Youth For Christ) last year. This past July I took a trip to Guatemala. It was Awesome I had lots of fun. I help a Evangelistic series there 19 sermons. God Blessed and got me through even when times were rough. I had 25 Baptisms in all which is good. I had over 600 People at my meetings so it was a big event. I was the answer to the peoples prayer. God truly did bless in enormous ways. I even got to go to the pacific ocean. If you know me I love the ocean. I actually am going to assiteague and chiggiteague in less than 11 days. In the spring I am planning a trip to Jamaica with L.S. (La Sonnette). Ma-be this coming summer a trip to Africa if God allows. Please keep me in prayer I am go wing through some hard times. But as always God blesses a cheerful giver. I will try to write more often. Lets see how it goes.

Whats killing the bees?

Recently While researching about bees I found this out! I thought it might interest you!

Flowers are the sexual organs of plants. Most contain both pollen (plant sperm) and ovaries. For a plant to reproduce, it needs to somehow transfer its pollen to the ovaries of another member of the same species. For hundreds of millions of years, plants used the wind to do this. It’s like Internet spam: send hundreds of millions of flyweight grains of pollen in all directions, hoping that just one or two finds its way by chance to the right ovary. Many plants, such as pine and birch trees and the dreaded ragweed, still use wind pollination.

But about a hundred million years ago, one class of plants hit upon a revolutionary idea: Why not use insects to transport the pollen instead of wind? That way, you can make much bigger, heavier, more sophisticated pollen packages. And you can make far fewer of them if you can rely on the insects to travel more or less directly to another flower of your species. The showy flowers we see all around us are the strategy for making that happen: They are designed to attract insects through form, color, and scent, and they have wells of nectar for the insects to drink when they visit. The insects swoop in for a few pints, get sticky pollen all over their hairy bodies, and inadvertently transfer some of this pollen to the next flower they visit. Wham, bam, thank you, ma’am. The fertilized seed becomes a fruit or nut.

Bees are the world’s pollination masters; they have developed sophisticated sensory apparatus for finding flowers, special bodies designed to collect and transport pollen, and complex social intelligence that allows them to share information and allocate their resources so that a single hive of honeybees can cross-pollinate 25 million flowers in a single day. A good bit of the flowering world (and the animals that rely on the fruits made by this flowering world) have come to depend on them.

I was shocked! A friend of ours Lost over 100 Hives this winter and is buying 100 new ones! I wish him the best of luck!

famous Quotes

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
Thomas Jefferson

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

Robert Collier

A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in on the experience.
Elbert Hubbard

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

This is my favorite poem! It was in Akeelah and the bee!
