Hey y'all!! Its the end of the week and we are all super sad its over. The week went by so fast!! This entire week we have been cleaning up the park and working really hard to make it a place that the whole community can enjoy. Today we had the chance to enjoy and appreciate how all our hard work payed off by playing a softball game with the local girl's high school team (Cody High) and playing games in the park! When we got back to the church we committed some "evandalism", meaning evangelistic vandalism. We thanked the church for hosting us by putting uplifting appreciative messages in Easter eggs with a Hershey kiss, and hiding them around the church for members to find Sunday morning. Our last meetings with everyone in Motown Missions helped us reflect on what we are taking away from this week. We all really connected with the city of Detroit this week and we all want to come back to enjoy it and continue making improvements. We all feel a sense of Detroit pride now and our perspectives have changed greatly from the beginning of this week. Not only do we feel closer to the city but we also feel closer as a group. We will never forget the experiences we had on this trip and we cant wait for next year!! WE LOVE MOTOWN MISSION!!
Love, Taylor and Rachel <3
