Today our interim youth director, Jimmy Sweeden, decided to flaunt his talents around and have some fun at The Cobalt Center. He played a lot of classic songs on the piano for us and we all danced around him in a big circle. Before this we were able to go explore at Cobalt and learn and help people in need by doing projects; such as painting, making hats, writing letters to trafficked kids, donate money for fresh water wells in developing countries, and go on a walk for water to understand the struggle it is for an African woman to carry 40lbs of water everyday and walk an average of 3 miles a day just to get it. Later on in the day we went to lunch at the GM building and got to sit in and mess around with there cars on show there. When we all re-grouped we noticed miles had ripped his pants playing volleyball at Cobalt Stadium and decided to improvise by wearing a sweatshirt for pants. At the big closing ceremony of the day at Ford field, a Motown group came out and played for us and a little boy sang amazingly for the closing song. We learned that building bridges unites us as People of God.
