Sorry its been a while,2 years. I'm now in 6th grade and I'm 11.A lot has changed. I all of a sudden I like poetry. Here is one of my poems.
The Sun Stains
Some say they can't see the sun in the rain,
but I say If you look closely,you'll see the sun's stains.
Even through hardship, and the loss of ones God took,
the sun is there, you just have to look.
So let us teach our eyes to strain,
and never be put down because of rain,
just look for the sun's stains.

Chime Time

2007-03-02T10:45:00.000+02:00

This you see here is a wind chime that I made.

It is made out of a box that chocolates came in and 2 empty paper towel cardboard rolls and some string.

I used this box that’s shaped like a pyramid and cut two pieces of string about as long as my shoulder to my wrist. Then I cut two paper towel rolls in 3 or 4 inch size pieces. I tied them one-by-one on the strings in different places in a straight line. Then I tied the strings together in the middle.

Then I took one layer off another paper towel cardboard roll. (Here in Swaziland they are made out of layers of twirly paper.) I tied these twirlies on the ends of the strings. (If you do not have the twisty thing from inside the paper towel roll, try winding up some paper of your own.)

Then I took my pyramid-shaped chocolate box, at the very top after making sure the strings were very even, I taped the strings around the top.

Next I asked Meemaw for help to make a couple of holes to put a hanging string through.

Then we hung it up.

Thank you for stopping by Kayla’s crafts!

Make The Children Smile

Hi everyone,

Kayla here.

We're here by Qwerty to answer your questions! (Qwerty is a VeggieTales character for those of you who don't know.)

No, I'm talking about the people in Swailand (and all around the world). So many people need God. That is the only reason we are on earth--to help others to Christ. Otherwise he would have taken us right up to heaven when we gave our hearts to him.

Jesus also said, "When you help them, you help me." So that is why we are here on earth.

The people in Swaziland have become my life. It's great to be with them. And to be able to tell them about Jesus.

That's why my grandfather, Dave Ohlerking, started the Children's Cup organization.

Love y'all. Good-bye.

The Sawdust Fight

2006-10-04T22:03:00.000+02:00

It all starts out as we were sweeping up sawdust left from my dad building cabinets for the new clinic.

When we were all finished, we (our house girl’s daughters Ruth and Siwe and I) swept all our piles together. It was really big.

It was too tempting to leave it alone.

So we got big handfuls of it and ran to our own different hiding spots.

Then when we spied each other, we would throw it.

One handful from Siwe went right down the back of my shirt. It tickled!

I took my handful, and thinking it was Siwe…It was Ruth! I threw it on her by mistake. I meant to get Siwe.

Ruth then threw her handful down my shirt. I got it again.

Good thing this sawdust fight was in the grass, so we didn’t have to sweep it up again.

Monkey Lunch

2006-08-02T15:22:00.000+02:00

Sunday at Guava Gallery (a restaurant) we had a crazy experience! We were eating outside with some other missionary kids when an unexpected visitor came.

My friend Kylea said, “Levi, look, there’s a monkey behind you!”

Levi’s response was, “Yeah right,” thinking she was playing a trick on him.

Kaden (Kylea’s brother) shouted, “Watch out!” while covering his ears.

Levi then looked behind him… (I was running by then.)

There was a monkey! Levi then screamed, “Monkey!!” We all ran away.

The monkey then ate our lunch! (How rude!)

The owner of the restaurant came out with his sling-shot to shoot the monkeys which were at this point on the roof. The monkeys ran and jumped, and one doggie came out and started going wild.

What a crazy day!

Needy Kids

2006-05-24T13:29:00.000+02:00

This is my brother, Levi, and me handing out suckers to the kids at Murray Camp CarePoint. We put the suckers right in with their lunch. Lunch was pap (like really thick grits) and beans and beets with gravy.

The kids just take their lunch and go sit on the dirt ground. They eat with their fingers. There is no place for them to wash their hands, so they just eat with dirty fingers. Aunt Teresa (Children's Cup's nurse) wants to raise money to put a sink in every CarePoint so they can wash their hands before they eat.

There's a child who has a mom but their house is burnt down. And all they have is each other. The child comes to Murray Camp to eat. He is thankful for a hot meal every day.

Another little kid at the CarePoint wants to give, but doesn't have anything to give. So, since she knows Jesus, she just gives His love to others.

Please pray for Children's Cup to do a good job.

Sugar Free

2006-05-15T13:33:00.000+02:00

Today I can't eat any sugar.

My brother aggravated me and I put my hand over his mouth. Then I got in trouble with my mom. My punishment: no sugar today. All day.

But I just got a great idea. Since my Pop is diabetic, he has loads of sugar-free cookies. I wonder if I could have just one of those?

Cocoa & Sugar

2006-05-10T16:21:00.000+02:00

I had to move out of my old house. At my old house there was a neighbor dog named Socks. I really missed him when we moved.

I prayed for a long time about it and God gave me two dogs!

We named them Cocoa and Sugar. They are South African Boer Bulls. They are very cute and they love to get out of their pen.

They are very energetic and bouncy. Both are females. And I love them very much.
