Sydney (aka The Gopher)
Hanging around at home, getting ready to go to camp, and burning CDs for my mom. :)
Keirstin
That's great! Sorry I took so long! I was helping my sister! I'm excited because I just came up with a melody to go with one of the bible verses! That was a lot of fun! So your going to camp? Where to?
Keirstin
Anyone on?
Sarah B.
i need some help with the MUL. What should I call thos people who are no longer using the forums, but are still concidered by everyone as Memversers? For example: Mr. Alexander, The Strangs, Amara J, Madi, Martin, and so many others…
Sarah B.
I'm kinda, (not really) here. :/ Hope yoy are having a good day! :)
ZachB
Hi people! Camp got done yesterday and we got back home at 11:30 PM and went to bed an hour later. Then I got up at 6:30 the next morning to go to work, and here i am now!
Keirstin
Hi guys! How was camp Zach?
ZachB
It was awesome with a capitol A, W, E, S, O, M, and E. Except that I tipped a kayak over in the middle of the lake/pond and had to swim to shore.

I'm sure other people thought it was funny! Jk ;) it's fun isn't it? So whachta doing today? I just saw Nathan's video of John 1:1-5 on soundcloud. It's really great isn't it? I just came up with my own yesterday! That is so much fun! Did you see Nathan's?
ZachB
Yea, several people wanted me to do it again, which I was not going to do! I haven't been on soundcloud though.

Hi Keirstin, here are my Bible Bee tips that I sent to a friend. Hope they help :)
Okay, so if you really want to qualify for Nationals you have to do a few things. The most important thing is of course the Study Guide. All the information on the test will be based on the Study Guide, so you have to know it really well. The SG is composed of probably 50-75% cross-references, so you can definitely expect questions on them. If you aren't on Quizlet, I highly recommend joining, as there's a lot of really helpful sets for cross-references and general knowledge. I have a set specifically for Junior CRs: https://quizlet.com/86940397/all-john-1-6-cross-references-junior-currently-up-to-week-5-day-5-flash-cards/
If you need Senior cross-references, check out this one (You need a Quizlet account to see it): https://quizlet.com/86687161/all-of-johns-cross-references-senior-2015-section-1-week-1-3-flash-cards/
For verses, you need to know the context of each passage that is not in John 1-6. Those are: Acts 10:42-43, John 20:31, Titus 3:3-7, 1 Peter 1:3-5, Isaiah 12:2-5, and 1 John 5:9-12. Know who is talking, where the event took place, what happened before the passage…. It also helps to read the passage in other versions and to explain it to others in your own words.
The last thing to study is the content of John 1-6. This includes everything in the SG that is not CRs. Make a simple outline of each chapter, learn the key events and people, and read the other Gospel accounts.
Do all this and you'll be pretty prepared for the test. Now you have to learn how to take the test. Pacing is very important and also easy to learn with a little practice. Take these tests and try to finish each one in 25 minutes: http://www.biblebee.org/page.php?name=microsite.home&cid=17e621662b&y=2015
Try to finish the real test with like 10 minutes left so you can review hard questions.

Have you ever been tubing behind a boat? I'm like the only one in my family who will tolerate it! I enjoy it, but I think it's almost more fun for the other people watching you get spun, flipped over, and hanging on for dear life!
If you want to see Nathan's recording, he gave instructions on his introduction forum.

Respectible people who used to be friendly but now like to keep to themselves? jk ;)

It is. :)
Keirstin
Yep! It's major fun! I haven't done it in a while though. At our old house we used lived on a lake so I got to try a lot of things like tubing, wake boarding, and swimming!
What are your plans this week? Study till the test, work, ect…?
ZachB
That's pretty much it, other than another local bible bee gathering on monday. At Bible bee camp we did quite a bit of swimming and using the rope swing over the water. One should have worn a swimsuit the whole time because you never knew when you'd get wet.
Sydney (aka The Gopher)
How is everyone doing?
Keirstin
Ha! Sounds like at my house! When the brothers bring out the water guns, no one is safe! Sounds like you had a blast!
ZachB
How is everyone doing?
Good how are you?
Keirstin
Great Sidney! Just preparing for the test! On Thursday, my parents are taking us older kids on a trip to Denver for a business meeting. If you want to pray about something, our business has an optional Sunday service that one can attend that happens a couple times a year and they do an alter call. Last time, over 2000 people came forward and accepted Jesus! I'm so excited cause I haven't been to one in a while! Will both you two pray that God prepares hearts to want to accept His gift of eternal life? I would love that!
ZachB

It was 99% as good as nationals is. If only it could have lasted a whole week instead of 3 days! ^I must confess myself to participating in the water throwing….^

Yep! ;) wishes I were there ;( ( who wouldn't want to throw water balloons?)
Sydney (aka The Gopher)
Will definitely be praying!!! When is the BB test this year…?
Sydney (aka The Gopher)
How is everyone doing?Good how are you?
Great! Getting ready to head off to camp…
Keirstin

This Saturday! I feel so unprepared! Are you not doing the B?
ZachB
Yep! ;) *wishes I were there* ;( ( who wouldn't want to throw water balloons?)
It would have been a blast if all of us from MV could have been there. A water fight would be just as appealing as a pillow fight, eh?
ZachB
Great! Getting ready to head off to camp...How is everyone doing?Good how are you?
What kind of camp?
Keirstin
Yep! ;) *wishes I were there* ;( ( who wouldn't want to throw water balloons?)It would have been a blast if all of us from MV could have been there. A water fight would be just as appealing as a pillow fight, eh?
Not for amarija! We would have gotten her good! Jk lol ;)
Sydney (aka The Gopher)
Wow… so early this year! No, I'm not doing BB this year.
ZachB
Both of them!
Sydney (aka The Gopher)
What kind of camp?Great! Getting ready to head off to camp...How is everyone doing?Good how are you?
A Christian camp called Camp Susque. It's out in the woods, and we stay in platform tents or cabins. :)
Keirstin
Wow... so early this year! No, I'm not doing BB this year.
;( that's to bad!
I think this year was only 6 weeks as opposed to 12 weeks because BBHQ moved or something. I'm not for sure as this is my first year of bible bee
Keirstin
Both of them!
Yep!
I have to go in like two minutes

ZachB

Alright. I will probably have to get off soon for a bit myself anyway.
Keirstin
I will be praying for you and your friend! Have you sent him an email yet?
ZachB
No I haven't yet. I've been real busy with studying and especially camp. I'll have to make sure I do it today or sometime soon.
