I am moving to another state next month. My favorite football team is the chicago bears. I went to a very strict high school. My father used to be the headmaster in my school. My siblings are all older than me.
Speaker 2
I love to spend time with family and friends. My grandchildren especially bring great joy. I want to always live near water, and in a warm sunny climate. My favorite activity is reading. And my favorite place to be is worshipping god.
Speaker 1
I am moving to Florida next month. I have to move because my father lost his job. I am very attached to my 5 older siblings. I love the sports team called the Bears. I love to read. I am religious and believe in Jesus.
Speaker 2
I believe in a god. I am very attached to my family. My family includes my grandchildren.I also have friends. I love sports. I love to read.
Speaker 1
Hello! How are you?
Speaker 2
I'm great because I have god in my life how are you?
Speaker 1
That is great! I've been better. We're moving to fl next month :(.
Speaker 2
I'm jealous I love living near the water as long it's warm and sunny.
Speaker 1
That is nice. But dad lost his job as headmaster at my school so we gotta go.
Speaker 2
Well as long as you'll be with family. My family is my life.
Speaker 1
Same here! I have 5 older siblings who are my world.
Speaker 2
I have my family and friends and my grandchildren!
Speaker 1
That's great! Do you like sports? I love da bears!
Speaker 2
I do. I love to read and read about sports all of the time!
Speaker 1
Love to read too. My school's very strict and we're required to read a lot.
Speaker 2
I would love your school then! Are you religious at all?
Speaker 1
I am! Jesus is my life!.
Speaker 2
Have you read the bible?

Speaker 1
I went to church on Sunday.
Speaker 2
Me too!  I hope that you found it as uplifting and aspiring as I did!  Do you attend with any of your family?
Speaker 1
Yep! All five of my siblings attended. My dad is still a little down since losing his job, but I think church really helped uplift him. And we also treated him to his favorite ice cream afterwards. It never fails.
Speaker 2
Blessings to you all!  Church and sweets: a perfect combination.  Are you worried about leaving your family when you move to Florida?
Speaker 1
No, all of my family is moving together, but I will miss my friends. And my favorite local ice cream shop. What is your favorite sweet?
Speaker 2
Oh, I am so glad and sorry I misunderstood.  Family is so important.  It is hard to leave friends, but blood ties are so important and you will always find more friends!
Speaker 1
That is true, although sometimes it doesn't have to be blood. Two of my older siblings were adopted and they still feel just as much like family as my other three siblings.
Speaker 2
Yes.  I consider that blood because, as you know, the Lord set all of you apart to become a family.  His ways are always mysterious, but true!
Speaker 1
Ah, I see. I'm just used to people sometimes not understanding our family or saying because we aren't blood we aren't really family. I agree with you on this.
Speaker 2
When we are with the Lord we are all family in a way!  So, what are you currently reading?  I am reading "My Savior, My Friend."  So inspiring.
Speaker 1
I haven't been reading too much lately. Mostly packing and trying to spend as much time with friends as possible. I'll have to read "My Savior, My Friend" once I get settled in at the new home.
Speaker 2
That makes sense.  It's a busy time for you and your family for sure.  I have been praying for your father to find work in Florida.  I have a feeling God has much in store for you yet.

Speaker 1
I'm feeling pretty nervous about my upcoming move. I'm afraid I won't make any new friends in Florida.
Speaker 2
I can understand you are nervous, but at least you will have your siblings to lean on. You will eventually make friends, it just takes time 
Speaker 1
I don't know. I've never moved before. People don't there might be mean or something. 
Speaker 2
Anywhere you go there are mean people and nice people. As long as you steer clear of the mean ones, you will do great. I have always found that church is a great way to meet new friends! Maybe start there?
Speaker 1
That's a good idea. Hopefully we find a new one soon My dad is just so down about everything that he doesn't do as much as he used to.
Speaker 2
Well maybe church is exactly what the whole family needs, your dad to help with his depression and you for friends! In my life, I have always leaned on my faith to pull me through the tough times. 
Speaker 1
I'll tell him that! Also, I know maybe this sounds dumb, but I'm worried I won't be able to watch my Bears down there. It's just dolphins, gators and hurriance
Speaker 2
Oh that is important too! I am sure if you can not watch them on local tv, you can stream them on a phone or tablet! The internet makes sports watching very easy these days! 
Speaker 1
You've got all the good advice today! Actually making me feel a lot better. Have you ever moved before? 
Speaker 2
I love giving advice. My grandkids often come to me as well. Yes! I have moved a few times in my life. Each move was scary but I found something amazing everywhere I lived. 
Speaker 1
I've heard from others that I wont miss the winters once I move. So that might be a plus.
Speaker 2
Absolutely! The warm weather of Florida offers year round beach days! That would be amazing, right!

I have moved multiple times. I have lived at a few different places. I like going to the beach.
Speaker 1
How is the book My Savior, My friend going? Have you ready anything inspiring today?
Speaker 2
I love the book so far. It's a wonderful story that provides a ton of spiritual and moral insight. How are things going with the move to Florida? Are you excited? I've been praying things go well for you.
Speaker 1
That is great I would like to read it as well, maybe I can find a copy in Florida. I am honestly so nervous, I will miss everyone so much, but I know Jesus is looking out for me. Thank you for your prayers.
Speaker 2
If you'd like, I can just mail you my copy when I'm done with it. I generally have no use for a book after I read it, other than the Bible. And you're very welcome! I just want to see you find happiness! Aren't you going to miss the winter in Florida, though?
Speaker 1
I would love that! Thanks so much. I know what you mean, I will have mine with me every step of the way. You are such a good friend to me. I really will, the snow is the most beautiful thing ever.
Speaker 2
I'm sure you'll find plenty of things to enjoy down there, too. You're such a wonderful and friendly person, I think you'll have no problem fitting in and making new friends. Have you looked into any churches down there you'd be interested in trying?
Speaker 1
Well thanks so much! I am sure if I can just find a fellow football fan, things might be easier. I have been so busy packing and hanging out with friends I have not had the time yet. Have you seen your grandchildren lately?
Speaker 2
I'm sure you'll find tons of football fans. Are you a Florida Panthers fan at all? If so I'm sure you'll fit right in with that crowd, too. Yes, I saw my grandchildren just yesterday! We went out for breakfast together, I had a really great time. They're growing up so fast!
Speaker 1
I really am more of a Chicago Bears fan, but maybe I could pick up another team! That is great it is important to keep your family close. It has been hard seeing my Dad so sad lately.
Speaker 2
I've been praying for your father, as well. He just has to keep his faith in God and God's plan. He is a very skilled man and should have no problem finding a good place to work. 
Speaker 1
You are so right about that and I will have to remind him. Thanks for all your advice. I will really miss you, and everyone else. I hope we can keep in touch.
Speaker 2
Just know, I'm never far! I'm always just a phone call away, so never feel afraid to call if you need something. God put me here to help others, I believe. In helping others, we help ourselves.

I have been packing for my move and spending time with friends. I have never moved before. I am afraid of mean people. I like to watch football. I like the Chicago Bears football team. I enjoy winter. I am going to miss everyone when I move away. I will miss the winter season; I think snow is beautiful. I want to read "My Savior, My Friend. My dad is unemployed and going through a hard time right now. He is very sad. I think family is very important.
Speaker 2
I believe in a god. I am very attached to my family. My family includes my grandchildren. I also have friends. I love sports. I went to church last Sunday. I found it very uplifting.

I feel like I've been put here by God to help people. I took my grandkids for breakfast recently.
Speaker 1
How much further do you have to go in "My Savior, My Friend"—are you close to being finished?
Speaker 2
I just finished; it was lovely! Have you had a chance to start it yet? Do you happen to have any recommendations for something I can read next?
Speaker 1
That's great! I was planning to start today, but haven't had a moment to sit down yet. Have you ever read "The Alchemist"? It also has some really lovely lessons about life.
Speaker 2
I haven't read it yet, but I have heard of it. If I get a chance to head out to the bookstore today, I'll pick it up! I don't think it's available on ebook. Do you have a copy of "My Savior, My Friend"? 
Speaker 1
I'm sure every bookstore carries it, since it's such a classic. I downloaded "My Savior, My Friend," since I figure I shouldn't collect any more objects that need to be packed. I can't believe how much stuff I have!
Speaker 2
That's right, I almost forgot about your big move! How is it going? All you siblings are pitching in to help, right?
Speaker 1
Yes! I think if I had to do it all alone, it would be much harder. The problem is just knowing where to start, but then there's also all the little decisions about what to get rid of. I'm donating a lot of things, so that does make me feel a little better.
Speaker 2
I remember you saying your siblings are all older; has anyone found a job in Florida yet? Or will everyone start searching when you arrive.
Speaker 1
Oh, actually I forgot to tell you the good news! My dad got an offer for a part-time job at the church we are joining down there. It's just a stepping stone, but I think he's going to be really happy working close to the church community. I'm so relieved for him.
Speaker 2
Thats amazing! It's so nice that you've already found a solid church community that's willing to help out! Any luck for anyone else yet too?
Speaker 1
Not quite yet, but my sister has a phone interview tomorrow. I think it'll go well. She's really nervous about making an impression before we get down there.
Speaker 2
I'm sure the Lord will provide; I feel good about this move for you and think that there are some great things on the horizon for your family.
