Greenville and Laurens from Maggi's Point of View

I am sorry I haven't written to you in a while. . .

On the way to Greenville, we stopped at a restaurant called the beacon. When you first get there, a blind man says, "CALL IT" and you tell him your order. He yells it to others. If you order a plate a plenty, they give you so many onion rings and french fries you can't even find your cheeseburger. It was yummy.








We spent the night at a hotel near the church. I read a book and listened to music.

Greenville was really fun, their children's church was great. The teachers were funny and taught a very important lesson. After we were in Children's Church, we went to speak in the main service. Even though I didn't sing my song at this church, it was a great service.

Then we went to a little park in Greenville, where there was a river. I enjoed a good book.






We played there for a while, then we went to Laurens, not to far away from our first church. I did sing my song there. Dad did a great job on his speach, and I am not being sarcastic. Then it was off to home for us.

That was another news flash from itineration from me.

Thanks!
Maggi

Hoopty do Greenville/Laurens Review

Last week I went to Greenville and Laurens.

We spent the night at a hotel. I got to play Webkinz at the hotel and stay up super late. It was fun.




The first stop of the day, was Greenville First Assembly. It was a really big church. The Sunday School church was nice. In the middle of children's church I had to run to the big church to say my verse in Spanish. After church we ate at the Mexican restaurant. It was yummy. Mommy's friends were with us.




After we ate lunch we went to a really nice park. It was called Fall's Park. I read a book, and played on my nitendo DS. Then I was looking for rocks in the river. My dad showed me how to skip a rock. It didn't work out so well for me. He had two skips. Then Maggi and I played tag.









After that we went to a church in Laurens, Laurens First Assembly of God. Most every time we go to Assemlby of God Churches. After the church service, while my mom and dad were talking, Maggi taught me how to ride imaginary horses. Then we went on our long ride home.

The End.

Hoopdy Doo Aiken Review



Sorry I haven't written to ya'll in a long time. But I just lost count. . .

So last Saturday I spent the night at Pastor Watt's house. Miss Laura, his wife was really nice. They made pizza for us, as a snack! After that we went Miss Sharon's birthday party. She served marinated chicken, her speciality. I made a strawberry shortcake to bring to the party. We got the strawberries from the bush-n-vine on the way. One of my favorite things about the bush-n-vine are the strawberry slushies :) Maggi likes them to!

That night we got to sleep on a blow up mattress. It was huge! Maggi read me Nancy Drew before I went to sleep.

When we woke up Pastor Watts made us blueberry pancakes for breakfast, they were yummy!
Then we went to the Pastor's church.

The church had pink carpet! P.S I like pink!

I stood at the door and gave everyone in the church a prayer card.






We got to go to their Children's Church and shared a little bit of what we are going to do in Costa Rica. The workers were nice and gave us a yummy snack. We started watching a video, but didn't get to finish. Then we got to play outside, till mom came and picked us up.

Then we went to Maxines for lunch. I got to eat outside with my sister. My mom watched us from inside.

Then we went home.

Aiken is quite the place to hoopdy doo!

My 10th Birthday




On March 13th, we went to Rock Hill, SC.
There was a nice Pastor there.

This was my first time singing a solo. I sang the song "You Can Have Me" by the Sidewalk Prophets. It encourages people to give their lives to Jesus. I was mostly nervous, because there was alot of people there. I think I did good. I felt like God "shot down the power" for me. (like in the book "Heaven is for Real").

After I sang, we went to a nice children's church called Kingdom Kids. I was able to encourage them with my BGMC testimony. Then we told them a little bit about Costa Rica, and how we are going there to tell them about Jesus.

Then Pastor and Sister Lewis took us to lunch. I had a wonderful burrito with rice and beans.

The day was filled with many exciting things for my 10th birthday.

myrtle beach and Maggi





Last Sunday when I went to Myrtle Beach I brought my two friends Samantha and Emily to celebrate my birthday. The church we went to was great It was Mrytle Beach First Assembly of God.
.



After service they took us to lunch at Logans. There, when you eat a peanut, you throw the shells on the floor. At one point, we all threw our peanuts at Bro. Alton at the other end of the table. It was his birthday too.

When we were at the beach we stayed in my grandma's beach house. We got to play the Wii. When we were walking on the beach, a man we met taught us how to find sharks teeth. Sam and I found so much that we gave some to Emily and Emma











And then we took a last look at the souvenir shop before heading home.







So far I think itineration is awesome. Next time I have something big to tell you.
