At Caracas

Hey everybody and I know I have been out of blog business but with this long post I hope to make it up. One reason that I have not been able to post is that we are at our grandparents house. We have been at Caracas for a while and we brought our school! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD WE DO THAT????????? I have no idea especially that it was Easter week. That has been the thing keeping us busy these days at our grandparents house. It was cool staying here because our Granna has cable TV. One good thing of that was that we were here during the Masters golf tournament and another thing good thing about it is that we got here for the opening day of baseball. Maybe some of you guys know that I love baseball but I know of many that do not so I was just telling you of that. Now, there was a draw back to the cable TV. We had to painfully watch Tiger Woods get beat by none other than the great, honorable Zack Johnson. NOW WHO IN THE WORLD HAS EVER HEARD OF HIM????? Other than that I can tell you that Caracas is freezing. One night I felt a piece of ice growing on me. {I am not crazy, it just that some do not know the word exageration}Well there is not much to tell you so bye!

Whew! What a week!

Whew! What a week! Last week was a conference in the church and man, what a blessing! There were so many saved I couldn't keep count. Although many got saved now there are seven who always come who got saved in the conference and are dedicating their lives to the Lord. To start out, the C.E.F.I.B.(For those of you who do not know who they are, they are an institute in the city of Yaracuy) and their pastor, Pastor Carlos Ramos came to evangelize and invite people to the conference. Pastor Ramos would be coming for the first part of the week to preach from Monday to Wednesday and another pastor from the church of Guarenas, Pastor Guillermo Avila would preach from Thursday to Sunday. We saw many souls that week come to accept Christ as their personal savior.One thing about the C.E.F.I.B. was that they didn't just come here, listen to the preaching, and maybe go out and evangelize an hour. Not at all!! Let me tell you something first, the preaching was at night every day. What the C.E.F.I.B. did was in the morning wake up early and right away go to the church then start evangelizing. They evangelize the whole day and then, when it was about an hour away from starting the church service they would go by the houses of all the people they had invited and ask them if they wanted to come that night. Every day of the confrence was a blessing. It was really cool when I went with them one day. The first day I got a super bonus by figuring out that all the boys including Ethan were going to stay the night in a house in a city near La Victoria called Turmero. Now here comes the super bonus. All the girls from the institute were to stay at our house. I asked my dad if I could sleep with the boys and he said no!Then I had to spend a whole half a week with girls! ugh! grose! disgusting! Now that you know about I feel about that I can tell you what has been happening around the house this week. You already know that Pastor Avila was coming for the rest of that week. Well, he brought his family with him.They have three girls and they stayed at our house as well. As soon as they were gone too, our house seemed like a ghost town. It seemed unbelievably quiet. Of course we kept on with our normal lives and today I had a SUPER long school day today. And I really have nothing else to say so goodbye!

Brackets

And everybody knows what brackets mean when it comes to March, The NCAA tournament. Us as a family have never really cared much about March Madness until Uncle Joe came here. He just started talking about it on Wednesday and at first I was not very interested until he mentioned brackets. It sounded fun, the brackets and all and that was the talk of the night. It got to such an extreme that Uncle Joe invited us to their house to fill out some brackets and I picked like all the underdogs and so far only 6 of 33 games have been upsets. I went for Duke all the way until the Championship and it just happened to be, out of my luck in the first round that 1 of those 6 games, was one where Virginia Commonwealth University beat Duke. I mean has even heard of them! I guess you know where that would leave me, in the dust. Right now the score is Aunt Keely with 111 points, Morgan with 104, Ethan with 102, Uncle Joe with 101, my dad with 98, my mom with 95, and pesonally, who do you think would have last place other than the great, honorable Seth!!(with 65 points) NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I have been saying this to myself ever since Duke lost. Better luck next year. Now that we are done with the the March Madness stuff, I have got something else to say. My birthday!!! It is my birthday today and so far it has been good. Mom didn't wake me up and I got a nice rest like I have never had before. Dad came home from Caracas and said happy birthday and It has just been a great day. Tht is all the time I have but I'll see you next time I post. Bye-bye!
