Life in a submarine: Deep water

My name is Rebecca. My family lives in a submarine.
I live with my sister Joy, my brothers, Danny and Mark and there is my mom, my dad, and my dad’s helpers. We all lived in a yellow Sub.
One day, it rained hard. Joy and I were worried, but my mom said let make cookies, and so we did. My dad works hard keeping us on tack to Ireland, but the waves didn’t help. Mark tried to help, but he had to watch Danny, the youngest. Danny was 5, Mark 9, Joy was 7, and I am old 12-years-old.
Mother was getting worried. Father said that we are going a little deeper but not too deep. Joseph, my dad’s helper, takes us down deeper. While Tom makes sure, we don’t go too deep.

Mom asks Dad a question, “Should one of us be in the Control room?” Still a little worried Dad said, “Yes, one or maybe two should be in the Control room.” So, Dad asks Joseph and Tom to be in the control room.

Later, we ate dinner and went to bed. That night we woke; the red alert was going off. What is going on Joy asked me. I don’t know. So, Joy and I run to little Danny’s room. He was crying. Rebecca, “I am worried. Let’s see where Mark is. Maybe he is on his way to the control room,” said little Danny. Ok let’s go. When we got there, Mark was with mom and dad in the control room. “What’s going on father?” Mark asks. “The water- it is too deep!” was the reply. Daddy, are we going to be all right asked Rebecca. Yes, Rebecca we are. God is with us. He was with us when we told people about him, and he is here now.

I knew my father was right. My mom and dad are missionaries and when I was little my dad said a Bible verse a lot to me when I was scared. The verse says, “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:6. So, I knew my dad right. If we ask God, he with Help us.

Why don’t you take the kids to the living room and pray and I will see if we can get to Ireland ok. Mom agreed and said, “I will try to call grandma and grandpa in Scotland [Edinburg]. I will tell them that we are trying to get home but having trouble making it back to Ireland [Dublin].”

Rebecca, please carry Danny. “Ok” I answered. “So, mom, are we going to sleep in the living room?” asked Mark. “Yes, Mark we are.” answered mom.

“Mom”, Joy asked, “how far are we from home?” About 2 miles. Surprisingly the call goes through. Grandma and Grandpa were so worried. After the call, dad came into the room. He said, “we are out of deep water.” We were all happy to Hear that.

The next morning Joy, Danny, Mark, Mom, Dad, Tom, Joseph, and I were so happy to walk on dry land.

Guardian Angels and the Stormy Journey

After going to our grandma’s house, a hard rain came up from sky. It let up all, but the wind blew so hard, me my brother ran.

But then we stopped in our tracks for in front of us we saw a bridge so rocky, we thought the bridge was going to fall right into the water.

My little brother asks, “is there any other way?” No, I Said Frighten. We had to cross the bridge. We stated across then we jumped back as part of the bridge fell in.

We were both frightened, but then we both heard someone say, “don’t be scared”. Then the bridge stopped rocking. We ran home.

We thanked God for we knew he had sent an Angel to make the bridge stop. God above had sent an Angel from above. God heard our cries and answered our prayer.

We were late but Ma does not care. We told our Ma, and she said, “it sounds like God and your Guardian
Angels were looking after you. We thanked God for he was looking after us.

Bright and early the next morning, we took the long way to grandma’s house. We told her what happened. She said that when we left a few minutes later she felt like she had to pray, maybe God was trying to tell her that something was wrong. Grandma we just want to say we love you. So that’s the end of the story.

Two Surprises at the Mountain Home

It all started when school was out for the year. My sister (Elizabeth), and I (Peter) both realize it was different this time. Our Mom said we were to go on to Grandma & Grandpa’s house, but usually we all go together. That’s how me and my brother realize it was different. We pack our bags, me and my sister pack three bags each. Because in summer vacation we kind of live with our Grandparents. When we were all packed I and my brother put our bags in our two red folds up wagon and walked to the bus stop. Simon, our friend, was there. He said that we could have only one bag on the bus, but the other two would have to go at the back of the bus in the baggage storage area. Se we each picked a bag to keep near us on the ride. We gave Simon the others. Mom made sure that our phone was working.

Now we were on our way. Mom had said that if we wanted to see outside to sit in the back where there was more windows. So, my sister and I sat in the back. It felt like four hours, but it was only 1 1/2 hours. When we were almost there, we got a call from our grandparents. Near the end of the call, they said something about having a surprise for us. My sister and I wanted to know what it was, but we did not have any ideas.

When we got to the bus stop in the mountains, we got out of the wagon and our bags together. We then got off the bus with Simon. Simon made sure that our grandparents were there, and they were, so he went back to work. Simon had been good to our family for a long time and to my sister and me. After we got to our Grandparents’ home, we unpacked and then we relaxed. “Children,” Grandma said, “want to make some cookies?” “Yes,” we cried. So, we made 5 dozen cookies with Grandma’s help.

“Peter, Elizabeth, Grandpa, Dinner is ready. So, let us eat dinner. So, we ate dinner. After dinner we called mom and said good night. Then we went to bed.

After Breakfast bright and early the next morning, we went to the park. There we saw our friends, Joy, Eric, Timmy, and Maggie. So, we talked and played. Then when it was time to go, Grandma called and asked us to run to the store and get some things. So, we did. When we got home, there was a note. Peter read it. It said, “To Peter and Elizabeth: Thanks for running to the store. Please put the things up and then go out the back door to the barn.” When we went to the barn, there was another note. This time Elizabeth read it. It said, “Your surprise is in the barn. Love, Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa”

“Peter, Is mom here?” asked Elizabeth. Peter answered, “I don’t know Beth. Let’s go and find out what the surprise is. Let’s go on three. 1,2,3. Oh my ponies! “Surprise!” yelled mom. “What are you doing here!?” Peter and Elizabeth asked. “Well, I wanted to surprise you guys,” said mom. “Well, you did”, we answered.

They are so cute. What are their names? Starlight and Sunny are their names. That’s not all. look over there. Puppies? Yes, they could run beside you when you ride. Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, “How could it get better?” “Should I tell them?” asked mom. Tell us what MoM. Well Beth, Peter you Know my job is in the city, but now I have a new job that better fits me, an animal rescuer. Oh, mom does that mean we get to live with Grandma & Grandpa? Mom? Yes, Peter and Beth it does. Children it does. After that Simon helped us move all our things to our Grandparents home. After we had moved all of our things, we asked our friends Joy, Eric, Timmy and Maggie to come over and celebrate.

Mom, how did you get two puppies and two ponies? Well, I had the new job for about a week. A week! Yes, and that’s how. How what? How I got them. The ponies were going to be put down, and the puppies were all by their shelves. No way. Mom, how could anyone be so mean? Elizabeth, some people are just mean. “Mrs. Good Heart”? Yes, Simon. Everything is ready for the party. Thank you, Simon, for being so good to us. Oh, it’s nothing, Mrs. Good Heart. Children it’s time for you guys to go open the gate in front. Our two new puppies ran beside us. We named our new puppies Honey and Bingo. After Joy, Eric, Timmy and Maggie and their family came, we had fun playing games and taking turns riding ponies and of course playing with our puppies, Honey and Bingo. And with that the Story ends.
