I am 17 years old, and most people call me Catie for short. I am one of the most outgoing in my family, and I really enjoy playing with kids. This past school year, I dual enrolled at the University of Central Florida, finishing my freshman year of college during my senior year of high school. I enjoy reading, cooking, singing, and music. However, my favorite activities are sports and anything outdoors. My three favorite sports are soccer, volleyball, and football. I also love snowboarding and wakeboarding. I wakeboard anytime I can as well as play volleyball with my brothers a lot. I love our trampoline and trying to do new tricks. Although I do love snowboarding, I am definitely not a big fan of cold weather. I absolutely love Florida, the heat, the beach, and all the lakes!

I am 13 and the sixth child in our family. I love soccer and volleyball, wakeboarding, tubing behind a boat, riding rollercoasters, exploring, and anything exciting. I love hot, sunny weather and being outside. Although I’d rather be outside, I do enjoy cooking, making 12 loaves of bread a week (it would be nice if my family didn’t eat quite so much!), sewing, reading, and history. I also love kids. I have a flower garden in our backyard that I enjoy working in. Even though I’m not an expert, I like to play the piano and play music with my whole family. I like parties, friends, and social things, but my favorite time is always with my family. I really look forward to going to South Korea where the blessing of fulfilling God’s plan will be well worth any effort!

My name is Caroline Elisabeth, and I am eleven years old. I enjoy lots of things: swimming, sports, and water balloon fights. I also like to quilt, sew, cook, and play the piano. I love playing the piano because my grandma teaches me, and she is a great teacher. I enjoy being with animals, and I would like to live on a farm. I especially like horses and goats. I am memorizing the book of Ruth right now. When I was younger, I memorized Scripture with my dad. Being in a family of 11 people, I rarely get bored; there’s always something to do with another sibling. I thank God for such a big and wonderful family. I am in sixth grade, and my favorite subject is reading (of course!), but I also enjoy piano and art.

Hi, my name is Evangeline, and I am eight. My favorite subject in school is reading, but I also like history. I am reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder series. My favorite things to do are play outside, tube behind a boat, play dolls, write stories, and read books. I love to play Indians, and I like to paint. I also like to ride my bike and rollerblade. I have a lot of favorite Bible stories including Elijah, Ruth, Esther, Samuel, and Daniel in the Lion’s Den. I like to collect sparkly rocks, shells, jewels, beads, feathers, and stamps. My favorite winter sports are snow tubing and ice-skating. I also like going down alpine slides. I went so fast that I ran into my sister, Caroline. I couldn’t stop my brakes in time. Watch out because I am kind of crazy sometimes!

My name is Julianna and I am 7 years old. My favorite subject in school is reading. I like to play soccer and kick-the-can. I like to swim, play with my dolls and my rifle Ol' Betsy. I like to rollerblade, play hide-and-seek, and scooter. I am memorizing Matthew 5. I like to go on trips, and I'm excited to go to Korea.
