We left snowy Erie at 10 AM and finally made it to the Detroit Urban Retreat Center safely at 4 PM!
Before arriving at the retreat center we had stopped at Detroit's Eastern market, enjoying the local farmers and some "schawarma" (a greek grilled meat wrap).
We settled into the retreat center and made two journey's to grocery stores, Food Pride and Whole Foods. The purpose of this activity was to experience the two different atmospheres and see the difference in food quality and price.
After the two shopping experiences, we cooked a spaghetti dinner and had a reflection of our first impressions of Detroit!
We are so grateful for your prayers to get us here, please continue to keep us in our thoughts and check back here tomorrow for another update.
Best your leaders,
Josh and Alesha
