Dear John,

I really like the book you recommended.

The book Are you My Mother? is a very good book.

I thought it was funny that the baby bird called the bulldozer a snort and thought it was his mother. It was one of the best books I have ever read. Thank you for telling me about it.

Do you like my hat?

Love,

Benjamin

New book

I got a new book in the mail and I have read it twice. It was about imagining things. Its' name is Oh the Thinks You Can Think by Dr. Seuss. There was a page about a kid riding a boat with a city behind him, and there was a page about people bringing food to them. Part of the food was schlopp with a cherry on top. It was a really good book and fun to read. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Stewart for the book! It was nice of you to do that.
Love,
Benjamin

Miracles

The mission was running out of water supply. Then, two or three days later they started to have more than they needed. They started to overflow a lot and had extra water. God caused a good miracle.

On Wednesday, two babies were born at the mission. One of them was born with a C-section and one beat the doctors before they could get there! They are probably going to name the girl Hope and the boy is named Woodson. It made everyone happy that the babies were born.

Birthday

Happy Birthday, Aunt Amy!

Bugs!

Today I finished my bug book. I learned about bees, wasps and spiders. Did you know that wasps made paper before people did? Did you know that wasps would sting the spiders so their children would have food to eat until they could go out and get their own. I read more than one hour today. My Mom wasn't even paying attention to the clock. I got a new book in the mail. I will tell you about it tomorrow!

Paper wasps

New sponsors!

A big thank you to our newest sponsors!

Joanne & Sam and

That brings the total up to $67.71 an hour if Ben reads the full 21 hours!
Thanks so much!!

Reading

Last night I finished the book "Danny and the Dinosaur" by Syd Hoff. Danny went to the museum and he saw bunches of things. It was telling about a dinosaur and Danny. The dinosaur came to life and Danny played with him all day. They played hide and go seek with Danny's friends and they watched a baseball game. If you notice, when you have a dinosaur you wouldn't have to pay to watch the game because a dinosaur could lift you up! The kids kept on winning at hide and go seek. But then they thought of something. It was to imagine that the dinosaur wasn't there so that the dinosaur would win. Then the kids just gave up because they couldn't find him. Danny asked the dinosaur if he could come home but he couldn't so he just watched until the dinosaur was out of sight.
