Sunday Night!

Today after arriving to Hamtramck we brought in our things and settled in. After settling in, we had a

meeting with the staff and then went on a prayer walk. We separated into two different groups and went separate ways. We then walked around the block in silence and observed the differences between our community and theirs. It was eye opening in terms of different types of culture that we tend not to see very often back home. For example, we saw a lot of people in muslim clothing. It was also kind of weird because we are in the minority for a change. We tried different kinds of Bangladeshi pizza and salad at Amar Pizza that were very diverse compared to the pizza we have in Ohio (Brett's note: We tried three types of pizza--Spinach Feta, Tandoori Chicken, and one called Spice Pizza with spicy ground beef, cilantro, green chilis and onions). It was actually really good, not as good as our pizza, but pretty good.  Since getting here we have been playing card games in our free time and some of the group is out grocery shopping for breakfast and lunch.

We Made It!

We left this morning around 11:30am, it was fine car ride up to Hamtramck. On the way up there we stopped at a travel plaza for lunch. Most of us ate at Burger King as most places were closed for some reason. At the car stop we played around with the a football in a side yard. After that we hit the road again to Hamtramck. When we arrived at the Intentional Hope Center in Hamtramck we unloaded the vans. Currently as I write this, the rest of the teens are playing some card games, as I volunteered to write this. We hope to learn a lot on this trip.

Thanks for reading, and God Bless.
