Lost in India – Episode 5

When there’s lots of people being baptized it’s good because it means there’s lots of Christian believers in India. Some of the people that don’t know about Jesus persecute the people that do know about Jesus. Sometimes, they burn up their homes or churches. I don’t think that’s right for people that don’t know Jesus to do that. Believers have to go to church in secret to praise God so these unbelievers don’t persecute them. Our family doesn’t need to do these things in secret, because our persecution isn’t as bad as theirs in India. It makes me so sad because their persecution isn’t a consequence for sin; the people who persecute don’t love Jesus so they no longer like Christian believers who do like Jesus.

Week 11 – Medieval Times

I like Medieval times because of the fights. I don’t like fighting, but I like how they fight. They fought on horseback with swords, spears, shields, helmets, breastplates, and boots. It was called jousting. Lots of people lived in castles. Not just kings and queens, but also their butlers, maids, cooks, guards and the fighting knights that promised to only fight for their king. They ate Beans, Cabbages, onions, Peas, Pears, Apple, Deer, Chickens, herbs, leeks, honey. We eat some of those foods, like beans & peas, but they eat deer, which we don’t. They didn’t wear jeans, runners, socks and stuff like that. Women wore big headdresses and long robes with long sleeves, and they wore a belt high above their waist. I wouldn’t want to live back then, I would rather live now, because I would’ve had to wait for a long time before Henry Ford was born and built cars to get around.

Lost in India – Episode 3

I was really scared when I saw Roopa’s burns, because I know they must hurt. I hope she gets better. I hope her Pastor teaches her about Jesus and his love and God’s love because then she doesn’t have to be scared because God loves her. I also want to tell Chris: “You’re going to the wrong place! It’s not Kanpur, it’s KOLKATA!!”

Lost in India – Episode 2

Nathan – It’s sad when someone doesn’t believe in Jesus, because they go to hell, which is fiery and scary. I want those people to believe in Jesus because then they can go to heaven when they die.

Gabe – We don’t want them to die!

Mommy – Everybody is going die, Gabe!

Gabe – 🙁

Week 8 – Story-Starters

week08-small Emma was a forest-explorer and she was looking for some treasure in the Bamboo Forest. Instead of finding treasure, she found a deer named Bambi! She wanted to bring the fawn home, but instead Bambi helped Emma find a treasure chest! Emma petted Bambi to say thank-you for helping to find the treasure (because she didn’t know how to speak “Deer”). Then, Emma took Bambi home.
