MONDAY NIGHT!

Hey it's Aaron!!
I guess it feels kind of weird being the senior on a mission trip. Anyway, lunch was really good. Shoutout to Mrs. Hansen for some banger pulled pork. During the afternoon we had a CQ presentation, which is like an IQ but it's a cultural quotient. Some of the points were really interesting, and our team totally won the quiz.

We also took a walking/driving trip of Hamtramck. We saw some really cool murals and parks and learned a lot about the city.
For dinner we went to a Yemen restaurant called Remas Restaurant. It was soooo good and we ate family dinner style. There was rice, grilled chicken, lamb, and rice wrapped in grape leaves. It tasted really good.
After dinner we worked a
t a community garden. We hauled and raked mulch.
After we left the garden we had to stop so Jack could pick up a loofah. It was white, not pink. I guess some of his manliness was restored.

ZOOM CULTURAL TRAINING!

Monday!

Today started off with picking up trash in the back alley behind the facility. We ended up collecting around 7-9 bags of trash off of the street and the side grass areas. After getting back we rested for a little and then got back to work on different jobs. We separated into 4 different jobs consisting of cleaning the kitchen, scrubbing the walls, weeding, and cleaning windows. After about an hour and a half we came in for lunch where Carlton sliced his finger because someone decided to trust him with a knife. We met a pastor, also Sarah's boss, on a zoom call where we talked about different cultures and how regular habits may be disrespectful to people depending on where you live. By the way
we're going to have to make a quick trip to Walmart because Jack NEEDS his bright pink loofah.
