"I pray God to keep blessing us and bless our friendship."
"I am playing some games you told me about."
"I enjoy going to the center for I am learning many things."
Tell about your favorite Bible story in a few lines: Moses slapped the sea and it divided into two allowing Lord's people to cross.
My favorite Bible verse is: Mark 10:14
The greatest thing I learned about Jesus is: He is the only one and the real Savior that God sent to save us.
"I love the principles such as being simple, wise, respectful, wherever I am because my parents ordered me."
"We are in the rainy season and the nature is green!"
