Treasure: Any thing or person greatly valued.
During the upcoming Enrichment Seminar for missionaries, we will be helping to lead the Jr. High program. One recurring event is the Great Treasure Hunt. Teams of kids race to solve puzzles, crack codes, figure out riddles and do group activities in order to get to the treasure first. treasure is a fun prize that lasts only for a short while. The families attending this seminar are responding to God’s call to take the eternal treasure of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. It is our privilege to be part of this team of witnesses spreading His word and planting His seeds. Such a big job. Fortunately, God is the one doing the work. We are just vessels and instruments of His grace.
We are like clay jars in which this treasure is stored.
The real power comes from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7)
Words from our little clay pots
Lukas
My name is Lukas. I’m in second grade. Anna is my baby sister. She is actually a mini toddler. I think she is very pretty. And I have a very nice brother Niklas. He is five years old. And I’m six years old. And soon I’m going to be 7. We’ll be in Chicago on my birthday. I’m excited. We are going to Chicago to get Anna’s German passport. And we are going to go to some Museums. Somehow or maybe I’ll learn more about Dinosaurs. I like to play with Dinosaurs and write about them. I like to read books. Someday ill probably be a scientist. I like to play ball. This spring I played flag football. It was fun.
Niklas
Today I’m playing soccer by Lukas’ school. It’s going to be my school next year. I’m looking forward to Kindergarten. Recess is going to be my favorite thing from school.
Oma and Opa lived with us for 3 weeks. We had a good time with them. We played with Lego cars and went on many trips. Oma and Opa took me to Oma’s language helper session. The students talked German with me.
Mama and I found two caterpillars and we brought them home in a cereal box and they changed into butterflies. I called one Gavin and Lukas called his Salkin for Niklas backwards.
God is good. God is strong. God is holy. God is stronger than anyone. God is the best.
Anna
I can’t tell you a story yet.
But I can laugh really hard. And I can already say things like: ball and bitte, bitte (which is German and means please, please) if I’m in the mood and a lot of gibberish when I pretend I’m reading a book.
