    June is one of the craziest months in a long time for us! We have a a dinner party, some friends from out of country will be here and he's preaching a gospel meeting we plan on getting to, a weekend Bible study, our gospel meeting, and then we're heading to KY for our "brother's" wedding. That's all from the 7th to the 25th... So it's going to be pretty crazy! :D

    What are some of your summer plans?

    Uncle Tom and I just got back from New York City. It was a really cool trip. (I plan to write a post about it.) Uncle Tom preached a weekend meeting for the church in Manhattan. We met a lot of extremely interesting people, rode the subway to see some famous sites and ate at some very good local food. All in all, we had a great time. Now we are looking forward to our trip to Indiana. We plan to leave June 25. So see ya soon!

    It's quite worth it to drive far for it (as long as you don't miss the time you had hoped to go to,this has happened 2x) we had to see it in 3D, because the normal one was sold out. i never want to see a movie in 3D again.

    John, I went up on the mountain last night in the rain just before dark and laid down in your bed under the rock ledge. I stayed there for forty-five minutes and listened to the rain. I got a couple of drops of water on me but I didn't mind and thought of you sleeping there all night. I NEVER get bored. People who get bored have NO imagination! -- Grandfather

  • Megalexandros

    Hey John, this is your cousin Brian. Mom told me your question that you put on her pleo post, and she told me to help you out. My best guess on how to say, "God bless you," in Greek would be "Theos makaridzo se." Theos means God, Makaridzo means Consider fortunate (it's not exact, but it's the closest I could find), and Se means You. This is pretty much how you'd pronounce it: "Theh-oss Mah-kah-rid-zoh Seh." I hope that's all helpful.

  • Megalexandros

    Haha, that's cool! Which languages have you got?

    by Megalexandros at 01/07/12 9:28AM
  • Megalexandros

    Haha, that is awesome. How do you say it in Russian?

    by Megalexandros at 01/08/12 3:57PM
  • Megalexandros

    :D Yeah, Paul told me that it was in the video. I still haven't gotten ours, and I really want to. Paul telling me about that only made me want it more.

    by Megalexandros at 01/09/12 9:02AM
  • you_and_me
    Well we do a lot more, like games and Bible classes.
    I've been to Chicagoland FC camp actually. Its in Wisconsin. :)
    by you_and_me at 01/10/12 7:28AM
  • Megalexandros

    I didn't order it myself, but Dad is supposed to get one free anyway, being faculty and all. I can always see it at your guys' house, though, when we get up there this Summer.

    by Megalexandros at 01/10/12 9:40AM
  • Megalexandros

    It feels like early Fall here; it never really gets much colder than that.

    Airsoft sounds pretty cool, but my guns broken; Paul's been offering to buy it from me, and I'm thinking about it; I can't think of anything else to do with it. :(

    by Megalexandros at 01/11/12 9:37AM
  • you_and_me
    DOV camp has been at a few different campsites, but last year it was at Shakamak, just like Homeschool camp.

    My mom is actually thinking about sending me and one of my sisters to Midwest Summer Camp at Shakamak. But it isn't an FC camp.
    by you_and_me at 01/11/12 10:58AM
  • Megalexandros

    Yeah, it's that barrel piece. You can look at it yourself; it's there at your house. I decided to leave it. Paul told me that he wants it, so he'd have an extra gun for others to play with.

    Eh, fall's nice and all, but soe snow would be nice every once in a while.

    by Megalexandros at 01/12/12 8:43AM
  • you_and_me
    I remember hearing that leadership camp ended before DOV started.
    You should! Homeschool camp is the best. If you came, you would not regret it. Its amazing.
    by you_and_me at 01/12/12 10:41AM
  • you_and_me
    It depends on where you stay, and the cost of food, gas, and such.
    There are group cabins (that I think 3-5 families can stay in). The Perz family stays in a group cabin. There are single family cabins too, which are private. My family stays in those.
    I live in Chillicothe, Illinois. Its a small town outside of Peoria, Illinois. We live like.. at least 2 hours from Chicago. I don't really know how to describe where I live. Haha.
