David's Discussions
David participated in the 2016 CFMC annual conference in Kaohsiung this April, at which four new candidates for ordination were received and one candidate was ordained. Bishop Matt Thomas spent time reviewing the Bishops' Nine Strategic Priorities of the Free Methodist Church – embrace all, disciple deeply, cultivate health, develop leaders, multiple ministers, go global, honor fruitfulness, engage urban, and partner strong. In all, it was a wonderful time of worship, reflection, and fellowship.

Jacob's Journey
Now, first of all, there was this "Battle of the Coins" thing that started 3 weeks ago. It was about a fundraiser for World Vision. The coins were positive points and the bills were negative points. My classmates decided to dump every single coin in our jar on the final day. Dramatic Entrance!
Anyway, the next item was the Poetry Slam! Round 1 was in our classrooms. I got to go third because I like to observe what the first 2 people are doing for their expressions or poetry skills. But really, 2 wasn't enough. Silly me...
Then there was this Social Studies Presentation and this Science Fair we had. I researched on the Louisiana Purchase in the Social Studies period. It turned out well, but I could've done better. And for the Science Fair, my investigation consisted of me finding out which substance (Baking soda, Baking powder, Yeast) would fizzle more with 1 cup of vinegar.
Lastly, it was the day they announced the winner of the Battle of the Coins. It was both 5th Graders and 4th Graders. The teachers tried to have one winner in each half of elementary (Lower, Upper), but the money was so close they decided to have two winners in one half. It was fun for me and bad for me. Fun - We got a no homework pass and a movie privilege. Bad - Some kids were sad that we won. They were 3rd graders.
So that concludes my latest entry of my newsletter. Have a good time! CYA LATER!!! Lololol!!
