Hi. Jannah Hall here.
At this moment in time I am sitting on the first
flight of stairs at Detroit Love (the place where we're staying at, for those
of you who don't know) trying to figure out what to say. Logically I should
start out with what we did this morning and work my way to the present, but I
think I'll switch things up a bit.
An hour ago, probably, we had desert baked by our
wonderful cook Lori. (Hands down she is the best and sweetest cook I've ever
met. Sorry Grandma!) Prior to that we had our "moment of praise and
worship" with everyone who had the fortune of being in this building at
the time. There we reflected on the day that we had and how we saw the Holy
Spirit, along with that we worshiped Him through singing. We had dinner before
that and chores before that still. But now for "the main point,"
pause for dramatic effect…….BIG A!!!!!!!!!!! For me, personally, it was kind-a
sort-a uneventful in the sense of all the kids in my small group failed to show
up, for good reason I'm sure, but even though my kids weren't there, I still
learned a lot from other kids. I learned that even when you're young, you still
can have a servants heart, and I also learned that you can still be happy and
joyous even when God has different plans then you anticipated, all from these
young kids!
To end on a fast paced summery, before Big A everyone had the
opportunity to go shopping for souvenirs, I declined because I was too tired,
but almost everyone else went and got pretty cool stuff. Before that was lunch
and before lunch was the opportunity of
either serving evangelism or prayer walking. Brionna Haag and I brought
lasagna, vegetables, cookies and cleaning supplies to a fire Dept. near by for
our serving evangelism, they’re pretty cool guys. To “quickly” finish this,
(even though I said I was going to finish this quickly like a half hour ago)
before serve evangelism/prayer walking was devotions, (we’re studying James by
the way) before devotions was breakfast and before breakfast was when I took a
shower. So, there you go. All of today, July 15th, backwards.
Je vous souhaite Fairwell.
This is Noah Borleis here reporting on the last day in
D-town(Detroit). We have had a good week so far. We have done so many things in
and through the community (as I’m sure you have heard. Today I went to the
police dept. with Kenna, Ashley, Ben, Lilli, and Kevin. We finished what we had
started on Tuesday. Which was a refurbishing landscaping project. It looks one
million times better than it did before. Then we went to the east side of
Detroit to go shopping. I ended up buying a hat from a store called Pure
Detroit. I would tell you about all the things we did but Jannah already told
you about it. One thing that the book of James and Kevin Dean has taught me is
that praying intentionally and believing what your praying for will happen is
the only way prayer works. And that was big for me because I didn’t really pray
much in the past. So that is one thing that I will bring home with me.
Love yall,
Noah Borleis
