Today was our big adventure to The Detroit ELCA Youth Gathering and one of the most amazing feeling of our trip thus far the feeling of sleeping on a cloud (Bed)! Today we final arrived in Troy after a 4 hour bus ride. We went out to lunch at a fancy 3 story mall, after we got our rooms and unloaded the bus. When we arrived back at the hotel, we were pleased to be greeted by the Bergs, Sara and Maia. It is also Maia's birthday today so we all sung her a happy birthday on the bus ride down to Ford Field Stadium. When we first got to the stadium we were overwhelmed by the number of people there. 30,000 is a lot! We got floor seating and you could easily see us on the big screen in our screaming bright neon yellow shirts. During the opening ceremony we enjoyed listening to motivational speakers, and singers. We learned not to be a silent disciple, as well as having the ability to make a difference in the world, and that the world has been waiting for us to reach out.
P.S; sorry about not updating the blog the last 2 days, we tried to but the wifi connection was so bad that we couldn't.
