hey all. So Dad is home and probably for good!!!!! it was a good reunion. I am going to "redo" my Sophomore year of high school and at a public school!!!!!! the only bummer is that because of dad's job we are moving to Virginia. i really dont wanto but God and the government are in control.
I love yall and i is prayin for yall.
So, we left Sunday (June 22) and we drove for two days. There were 10 people total in the Van. 8 kids, 2 leaders. We arrived in Dearborn, and we had a pre-breif with a man named Douglas. He was been a "worker" for God for many. many years. He explained a little about Islam to us, and gave us some facts.
Then, on Tuesday the 24, we went to one of the parks in Dearborn in the center of a Muslim community. it is mostly Yemeni people in that section. We helped another church with a concert at this park, and we got to experience persecution face-to-face. an Imam, a Muslim pastor-type figure was yelling at a little girl to leave and she wouldnt. She really gave all of us strenghth. She was so brave. :) it was exciting.
On Wednesday, the 25, we helped re-pipe a house for a family of Muslim Backround Believers (MBB's). The mother was having an alergic reaction to the calvanized pipes. so we did that, and we went back to the park. the same little girl was back, but had gotten beaten up by another little boy, until Big Brother came and saved the day. (she fought that kid back)
Thursday we visited an Iraqi Mosque and a Yemeni Mosque and we learned a lot about Islam. (it is very confusing) we each got a Quaran as well.
Friday we finished re-piping the house and the park got rained out, so we passed ou tracks around the neighborhood. I was threatened as i left a house, but looking back, i believe it was only grown men acting like stupid idiots. Please pray for these men with me.
That is an over-all view of my trip to Michigan!!!!

So, my youth group is heading to Dearborn, Michigan on June 22. We are going to go minister to the Muslim community there, like, Park Ministry to play with the kids, and to talk to the adults. I am very excited, but I am also a little scared; my Dad is in Iraq, and we are working with Iraqi immigrants. I am a little scared to find out what REALLY happens over there, where my daddy is.
Prayers are appreciated.
