Devyn M. Herbert reports that sheattends Spruce Hill Christian School.  I am 14 years of age and am an 8th grade student. I have been blessed with a gift of writing which I enjoy very much.  I am hoping to write a book about the four things I believe in which are: 1) Jesus Christ; 2) Family; 3) Education and 4) Parenting.  I am a member of Sharon Baptist Church where I am a part of the Praise Dance Ministry which allows me through dance to bring people to Christ.  I attended a camp in New York City with a few of my school friends this summer and we enjoyed seeing the sights such as, The Empire State Building,  and visiting  Coney Island.  This was my second visit to NYC.  I am excited about going into my last year at my current school and am looking forward to going to High School next year.”  Devyn Mary was a participant in the 42nd Annual WLH Family Reunion Banquet this year.
