My name is Elijah.
My dad is a missionary working with university students in Belgium (and you'll see his picture and profile on this blog, cause that seems to be what it takes to make blogger.com happy). Life is pretty interesting here so I will write about it. When I was little I decided I wanted to be a superhero with all the powers so I became Everything Boy. In Dutch that is Alles Jongen.

camp
About two weeks after school ended we went to a camp my dad was working at. It was for Ichtus students and it's called Formacion. We had a great time at camp. I met a lot of students. And there was stuff I've never seen before, like a raspberry bush by a walking trail, a chicken coop with a goat in it. We went to Arlon, the town near the camp, and you probably never see this in America, but there was a whole street where they didn't let cars come in. It was like a flea market. We had ice cream. I don't know if t
hey have Speculoos in America yet, but here they have Speculoos cookies, spread, and ice cream. Natalie had Speculoos ice cream. I had "After Eight" (mint chocolate chip). We also went to an adventure course. It was quite difficult because there were these ropes that hung down and you had to cross them. There was a bridge with spaces in it you had to walk across. There was a climbing wall, but it was actually a real cliff. There was a harness on you and you had to keep your safety clips hooked on a cable. At the end I went down a humongous zip line. It was about as long as two football fields. Have you ever done something like that? If you have leave a comment, please. Bye.
school
At school I had fun with the kids in my class. The first few weeks we were having field trips, so you can imagine that school wasn't too hard. An
d right at the end of the year my teacher retired. I don't know what she'll do nex
t. Her name is Juf Elly (juf means teacher, just so you know). And I know my sisters had a good time, too. Abby Kate's teacher was Juf Tonia. Natalie's teacher was Juf Lene. We had a really fun field trip to Plopsaland. It's an amusement park that's partly for kids and partly for adults. I hope you had a good school year, I sure did. Bye.
I'm from South Dakota and living in Belgium. I hope you enjoy this blog. I will write about all the fun stuff I'm doing in Belgium, all the things that happen in school, and what my family does (like the new stuff we get and how the food is). There will also be pictures that I hope you will like. Thanks for reading my blog...and there is going to be a lot more than this on here.
