We went to the o,p again this time we stayed the Sunday we came Saturday then all Sunday and left on Monday. It was fun because the way nt there we got to go to KFC then this time we brought our ripstiks. We had a ball going down this hill in the church parking lot on the way back we went and stopped at mackinaw island. It was fun we biked around saw mackinaw fort and we got in free because we had gotten like this membership thing on the mainland. The other time we had gone up to u,p. After that we went to the little boot diner and they have super good food. I got the butch Cassidy burger which is about a quarter pounder. Oh and we of course but mackinaw island fudge is was good.                                                                                        ...

 There is this one story when Jake was young and he got a new pair of bib overalls. He went to Sunday school now and his Sunday school teacher reprimanded his other he said that bib overalls weren't proper and these where the best clothes that Jake had ever had when he was young. He wondered if these aren't good enough what are Jacobs deshazers plane went down in china he was soon afterword's picked up by Japanese soldiers and brought to a prison staying their for a while he moved on to a hotel that was turned into a prison.

 A bunch of my relative and i and 2 of my brothers whent to the beach yesterday. We when to a new place that small its on north beach. But the sad part is i got my pupils dilatied so i saw a bunch of light and had a small headache like the whole time. But it was fun becauswe the waves wher qbsultuly assive its was asueam but me and my freind my cousing well he wasnt alolowed to out to the sandbar which you have to swim to and i wanted to go but it wouldnt have been any fun withput him so i just stayed.

 We are going to the up agn saturday night we stRT than dad will preach a sermon on sunday. We will have a picnic have some fun then stay a hour maybe on monday then head home then we might do it the weeck after that because dad will have to preach agasin and i going to be fun because we are going to arbys on the way up or go to some fancey restuarant its going to be super fun we are bringing the computer i am typing on now to maybe whatch the lord of the rings i dont no yet .

 Sermon sunday zacharia nine an dad talked about how in this oassage zachiriah it actually talking about something that isnt going to happen for over a hundred years. What was he talking about? he was talking about alexaner the great and theire is a funny stoey about that becasue theire is a story about alexander coming to jerusalem and seeing that prophesy and this propehsy was actually really really close to what he actually did they ta;kled about tyre and its strongholds and alexander destroyed it and then gaza and the phiistines shall fear the na e of this story is a hope for philistines because in the end philistines became christians or jews.

 Jacob deshazer was a world war two bomber pilot. It was at the start when America joined the war. This was the first attack Americans have ever made on Japanese's soil i am pretty Shure here was the plan their where about maybe six seven be twenty five Mitchell bombers these bombers ha d about a 200 mile radios in which they could fly without refueling meaning they would have to be let out extremely close to japan so they could actually make it to their target Jacob was a bombardier for the plane they named bat out of hell. Yeah they actually called it that well Jacob was two drop three bombs an incendiary  bomb and two normal bombs. They where to aim for anything that was of use to the Japanese and blow it up.

 Nabeel Qureshi met a lot of people that asked him to become a Christian but he had to many well thought out arguments. Until he met David, David put everything into light the first discussion was about the Quran and the Bible Nabeel pointed out that the Bible was changed through the years while the Quran stayed the exact same. Nabeel even brought up passages latke large portions of mark and a bit of Luke I am pretty Shure. Well David said that we just  don't count those as Bible passages. I asked my dad and he said they where changed yes but they still mean the exact same thing.

 So Nabeel Qureshi was an interesting person or Muslim i should say they where not of the western orgub meaning they weren't terrorist the terrorist's would be the Muslims in the west because they interpret a verse in the Quran a wrong way. It says one dsy Muslims will one day rule the world they think that means then so they fight to take control of almost anything possible because that's what they think that verse means. The people Nabeel grew up with the belief they would rule in the after life i think of the Muslims and Christians well they stay close enough to the bible to make it lookc good then peel off. If you think about it they believe in Jesus they just believe that Jesus was man not God.

Today I am going to about this amazing person. He was super smart and was a Muslim and converted to Christianity in college. I read it in his biography it called seeking Allah finding Jesus and under that, it says a devout Muslim finds christ. This means that when Nabeel was looking everywhere for Allah and was fervently worshipping him he found christ and he never could have done this without his inseparable friend David.This guy was a Christian and it was like David and Jonathan they loved each other a lot like even when they where both extremely on edge from debating christ and Muslim (which David always won) they would always stick to it. 

 For sermon Sunday today i am talking about Zechariah nine my dad is doing this bunch of sermons on Zachariah because he thinks that Zachariah isn't preached on enough so he is doing a bunch of sermons on Zachariah for this church he preaches. Chapter nine is packed with things such as tyre the battle of tyre and it literslly a story of wahat alexander the great will do exactly rmemerb in the battle of tyre it was on a mighty forst in the middle of island it was once said to bethe most imprganable fortrest in this time they where extremely tich and alexander threw the ruins of the old tyre thatbwas on the shore and three it in the ocean to make a bridge making it so he could defeat tyre.

 We went haying and this morning we picked corn and shucked it then boiled it then toock all the kernels off it toock a while because it was raining but i was pretty fun after we where done we where soaking wet. When we where haying i did the whole thing without gloves on so my hands where pretty bad afterwards but not extremely bad we did something like three hundred balls we where going to do kore today but the rain came and kind of made everything wet. I also saw my grandpa he has been sick for a really. 

Now he is finally moving to bigger thing she is going to start his own hospital, They bought some l;and from some Catholics for the exact amount of money they had twenty five thousand dollars in american dollars i guess dont ask me why because this is in Peru butthen they needed a house. Which they got it was in really bad shape so they hired a bunch of workers to work a bunch on it they liuterally had to raise the whole ceiling which is a massive job the railing where destroyed from termites the stairs where barealy usabul but they didnt wporry about it yet because after a while they whent back to germany to hire people for to work with them at the hospital. 

 Klaus dieter Jon is now stationed still in that very small village uin the middle of Peru. he has finally started to wonder if his skills could be used on a larger level they rarely had a lot of patients to work with because there was a bigger hospital in another village or city and it was more centrally located but know he has a another attorney coming to him and he would do something like halve iof the surgeries every year but they only did six hindered surgery's a year meant g he would only get 300 a year and he liked being busy.

For sermon Sunday my dad preached about the last chapter of Romans. If you read it interesting because you see that the writer goes amen and then paul takes up the pen because paul doesn't write these letters himself. He has someone that can write better than him but most commonly at the end of his letters he would pick up the pen and write a little bit more like at the end of romans also he didnt juast right a letter like i didnt juat take an hour or so but it tock something like day weecks to right letters this large at this time.                                                                                                                                    ...

 Where going camping next week we are leaving Tuesday morning at like eleven o'clock i might be able to go with my cousin on Monday though they are going a day early because our sight was onlu opena day late its going to be really fun though.
