What I learned from the story of Abraham, Jacob and Esau and Joseph

This blog is about the lessons I learned from Abraham, Jacob, Esau and Joseph. I will start with Abraham and what I learned from him is always believe that God will be there for you. Abraham believed that God will be beside him on his journey. Jacob and Esau's story taught us that you should always be true to yourself and others. Because if you don't you're the one that is going to get hurt in the end. Jacob lied to his father by pretending to be Esau. By doing that, he was sent away from his city. Joseph on the other hand has 2 lessons. One is you should not hurt others. Joseph's brothers are jealous of him so they hurt him and in the end they got a punishment. And the other one is love your enemies the way you love your friends. Joseph's brothers sold him to Midianites and he stayed in Egypt for a long time and when he went home he forgave his brothers for being so mean to him. These are all the lessons from Abraham, Jacob, Esau and Joseph.

My first trip to U.S.A

My first trip to USA was a blast. I first went to Los Angeles. Then, the next day, we went to new york and stayed there for two days. After that we took a bus to Canada and stayed there for one week while mama went to cincinnati and stayed there for 5 days. While we were in Canada, we stayed in tita arlene's home and went to a lot of places. We went to downtown, the mall and we met ninang anne. While we were in ninang anne's house w met a new baby. her name was Martina. i played for hours and hours with her. I had fun with her because she had a lot of toys. After a few hours, we went home and slept. The day that I will never forget is when I went to ninang anne's house again and I slept there. The next day we went to a friend's house and picked her up. Then we went to the great wolf lodge and we swam there. I swam in the wave pool, the lazy pool, the Jacuzzi and we even went into the mammoth slide where we went in a tube and we sat down in a large tube filled with water. I really had a fun day.
