Hello everyone!!

Hi, my name is Bella. I'm new to memverse, so I decided to write something about myself so you know who I am.
I'm 16 years old and I live in Pennsylvania.
I am a daughter of the King of kings and love Him so much! One day I hope to serve Him in Uganda as a missionary.
Some of my favorite things to do are write (anything from pen pal letters to novels and my own monthly magazine), read, play piano and drums, sing, listen to music (some of my favorite bands are Tenth Avenue North, Natalie Grant and Casting Crowns), learn sign language, and memorize Scripture verses. My favorite thing to do over the summer is study for the Bible Bee!! I also enjoy working with some organizations to end human trafficking/modern-day slavery.
There's really not much more to say…. oh, even though I've only been on here for a short time, I already love using memverse. :-)

~Bella~

Welcome Bella! (Just approved your post – sorry for the delay.)

Welcome to memverse Bella!!! :)
BTW- I love tenth avenue north too. :)

Thank you! :)

Probably loosing. :) what's yours?

Hello Bella!!! Welcome to Memverse!!!!! WOW!! We have very similar interests!!!!! To learn sign language I do it at the window to my neighbor next door :) And I SO like studying for the Bible Bee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many years have you done it?

Welcome to Memverse Bella!
I live in Pennsylvania too!

Welcome to Memverse! Nice to meet ya! Tenth Avenue North seems to be popular around here.

my favorite would probably be "losing" also :)

Thanks!! :) cool, do you know a lot of sign language? I love Bible Bee too!!!!! I have done it since 2011, so this is my third year. How many years have you done it?

thanks!
neat, where in PA?

thanks! :)

Oh like south west. :) Ian and I go to the same church. Where do u live in PA? :)

No, sadly I dont :( I know some signs, the alphabet, and numbers. I really should learn some more though. How much do you know? 2011 was my first year as well!!!

well, I know a good bit of sign language. I learn signs to certain songs and perform them at my church with a friend and my sister. it's a lot of fun! :)
cool!!! have you made it to Nationals before? I did, but only in 2011.

I have made it in 2011 and 2012

that's great!

That's really cool!! :)

This is my third year doing the Bible Bee too! and I'm 16 as well! :)

cool!! :)
Have you gone to Nationals before?

"We knows! We knows!!"

what do you mean?

She's doing her Gollum impression. Not very good though, her voice is too high.

oh… ok :)

How do you know her voice is to high?

i'm kind of confused…

Don't worry, that's normal. Exposure to Dani will do that to ya for the first few days. Or weeks.m

Lol!

Sam said that her voice was to high and I asked how he knew that seeing he has never met her :)
@Sam: Yeah…it's probably cause you steal her hugs I give her :)

Hey, I'm a ninja Jedi/Sith hacker! You send hugs, I intercept hugs!

But when you "intercept" them you make me sad :(

oh ok :) Lol

thanks! :) that's awesome that you know some missionaries from Uganda. I'm hoping on going on a trip there in two years.
Cool! How many years have you done Bible Bee? I love learning sign language, it's so much fun :)

Oh gosh I forgot to warn you about him! He legit scared a new user off about a month ago. She had one conversation with us and never came back. :) LOL JK!!! But that really did happen but it probably wasn't because of him… Maybe… Lol JK

oh ok LOL :) but wait who are you talking about?

Sam. AKA 'Status: Listening to dupstep' and 'Gollum' :)

that's great that you are planning on going to those countries in the next couple of years!! Thank you, I'll be praying for yours as well!!

Have you gone to Nationals before?

oh ok :)

I was just wondering since u r in PA which biblebee you'll be going to?

the Bible Bee I'm going to is in Bethlehem, PA, although I don't know the name of the church. it is about 3 and a half hours from us, so I don't even want to think about how early in the morning I will have to wake up! :(
where is your local Bible Bee?

Welcome to Memverse Bella! I think my sister is good friends with you. :) I love the song "Losing" by Tenth Avenue North. It is probably my favorite of theirs also, although "The Light Meets The Dark" is also a favorite.

Thank you! Yes, she is :) Would you please tell her I said hello?
yeah, I like that one too. it is too hard to pick just one favorite Tenth Avenue North song :)

oh, well maybe you'll make it this year!! It was my first year as a senior last year and I didn't make it to Nationals.

We're going to the bee in Ambridge PA.

oh too bad it's not the same one :(

Yeah. :( maybe we'll both to to nats and meet there!!! :)

The pessimistic side of me says you probably won't both make it to nationals- and if you do, you probably won't meet each other, so don't get your hopes up. :D

Hello Bella good to meet you.

yeah, that would be really cool!! :)

thanks! Why should we not get our hopes up though?
