You Learn A lesson Every day

          Yesterday I went to meet my cousin at a stable so I could get some equipment for Misty.
So we got a halter and a lead rope.  After that we saddled up Coconut and Janey.  I was trotting, loping,cantering, and walking Janey.  Then my cousin Shelly said we should go out side with the horses.  So my mom held the reigns well I was on, and Shelly was holding Coconuts reigns while her daughter Was riding Coconut. I asked my mom if I could have the reins she said sure.  Then as we were all going back happily, my horse went ahead of the other horse.  She wanted to get to the barn so she went behind the bushes.
  Out of nowhere she got so exited she started to crow-hopping (which was like a little buck).  I was holding on as tight as I could.  My feet slipped out of the stirrups and I went plump on the ground!  I was in tears.  My knee hit the ground first, then I bent my leg the wrong way.  Because my horse got so exited, so did Coconut. She started to do the same thing.  
My cousin was younger than me and she was also scared.  Her mom grabbed her off the horse.  My mom went to go get Janey.  After a while I stopped crying, however today I am really stiff.  

Shelly:  It was not your fault the horse started to buck. It was mine.  I wanted to have the reins so bad.
I learned a good lesson.  Thank you for the wonderful time Shelly, and the equipment.   I still had an AMAZING TIME!!!!!!!!! 

Happy Birthday Dad

March 14th was my dad's Birthday.  I searched the web for some good poems and copied them.  After I copied them, I sent them in an email to my dad.  He thought I wrote them.  He was making funny faces saying did you write these?  I said no.   I think he enjoyed his Birthday.  Later that night I did write him a poem.

     I will love you until the day I leave this world.
 And I know some day I will meet you there In that place of peace,
Where there are many rooms and the streets are made of gold.
But even Gold can't can make me love it more than you.
You are the person I admire and look up to for wisdom.
I love you daddy-o and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

                     That was the poem I wrote for my dad

Some Times I Don't Know What to Think

             April 3rd we leave for Indiana.  Then we will stay there for a week, and we will go to Saint Louis And fly out of there and off we go!  I can't wait to see My friends, Tikiline, Carmel, Bee, Misty, and little miss kitty.  I love Haiti.  But every time I am there I am wondering "Hmm, Will any one visit this year?"  It is always a mystery who will come down.  We have some friends called Luke and Rachel who might come down to stay with us for a little while.  It is funny, because a lot of people say to me "Oh I will come to haiti this year and visit you."    I get those words stuck in my mind.  But then they never actually come.  So now I don't know what to think.  But visiters or not, I still like living in Haiti!!

Grandma Day

        Yesterday it was a Grandma Day.  So the whole family went to town.  First we went to Pepper Jax to eat.  We had to wait in line for a long long time.  After a little while we got to the front and ordered.  When everyone was done we left and I jumped in the car.  My papa said to me I guess you dont want any.  He was talking about Cherry berry.  So then I leaped out of te car and leaped in Cherry berry.   It was so much fun!  After that we went to an olive place where you can try all of the juice.  Then our car's little wheels rolled down to Barns and Noble.  My mom and I went to Barns and Noble, while Grandma went to go get a pedicure.  I have no idea where the boys went.  But All I got to say is it was a very very very fun day with GRANDMA!!!!!

Daddy daughter date

         Ok, I had this blog written for a long long time but never posted it so I decided to fix it up. Me and my dad were on a daddy daughter date.  We had a Haitian friend with us. His name was Lucnare, and he was a pastor.  We were going to a plant farm with chickens and goats.  When we walked through the plants they were.........HUGE!!.  It was the biggest plant field I ever saw.  On the way to see the goats there was a guy shredding weeds (kinda like a mower). It was cool.  Next to that there was a cherry tree.  I love to eat cherries off the tree.  We bought moranga plants and peppers( which are very expencive here).  After that we went to Lucnare's mom's house.  We went there yesterday and said we would come back tomorrow to take pictures of her harvesting her rice.  When we got there she was way over to the other side! (Rice needs water to grow so it's very muddy).  As we were walking across I slipped 3 times.  Then my dad fell in and his jeans were covered in mud, and his foot was stuck.  But we continued.  Lucnare jumped into the mud to get across. Then he told ME to jump in too!  I said to myself " oh no!" I jumped into the brown and slippery stuff.  We had a problem...IT WAS PAST MY KNEES!!!!!!  I told my dad I was sinking in the mud, so he grabbed me and I climbed up. My dad made a decision and turned back.  Luknare said to cross by the house in the rice so we did that.  When we got to the house they grabbed water and a basin and started to wash our feet and clothes.  We refused and we washed ourselves.  My dad said to me "what do you think?"  I said IT was ok.  Anyway, I enjoyed spending time with my dad.  What an experience.  

A New Church

      Today my dad and I were at Brandon Valley Assembly of God.  Our church was building on to our other church and we were helping out.  I was a sweeper, and my dad was a sweeper, a light holder, and a cleaner of the paint brushes.  He had done many things.  There were about 10 other men there helping paint too.  They were painting as we were sweeping.  It was a big church so there was a lot to paint and a big mess to sweep!It was fun anyways.
     The guys who were painting had really big things to paint with.  Whatever it was it painted VERY fast.  I was standding next to those guys, and when I got home I had some paint on my face.  I love our church and so far our brand new church.  God has blessed us with another place to gather and that means more room for more people.  

Little bible

March 7th I got a brand new little bible. I have been wanting a little because it would be easier to take it places, I don't always need to open a case. I am not saying I don't like big bibles. I love my new bible. I am grateful for what I have been given, I think everyone loves getting gifts. I love read in my Bible. I sure am learning a lot, but I am not done learning and either are you!
My dad wrote this in my bible Job 23:10

Chocolate chip cookies

       Today my dad and I made chocolate chip cookies.  The recipe was written down 30 years ago and my grandma and grandpa still have it.  I love to make things.  That is a gift God gave to me.

Time goes by fast

  Yesterday my cousin had to put down her horse Charlie.
He was a palamino. He was about two of me tall.
When he galloped it was so smooth.  He was so beautiful.
He ran like he was pleased to be alive.
It sure was easy to fall in love with him.
I am glad I got to even meet that spirited, kind, loving horse.

Haiti And America

          I have got to say I really miss Haiti And my friends,my animals.
I miss a lot of things that I can't do here.  Like cooking Haitian food for my family and others.
I miss hearing my horse whinnies.
My family has a mission, and that is giving bibles to Haiti.
Even though we do not have a house that we actually bought or any thing else,  That does not matter to me at all.
I love what my family does.  And I am not going to let words knock me down.
All the time people ask me what place do you love better?
I can only say I love both places.
And I always will.
If an earth quake comes and destroys all of the beautiful things in Haiti,
that won't change my feelings for Haiti.
Now, I am not saying I love Haiti more that America.
I love both.
God put that love in my heart.
