Mission 25 trip to Detroit

I finally got to typing out the update for the Mission 25 trip. It was a blast!

While I was heading to Detroit, I stopped by Moe's southwestern grill. They are big competitors against Chipotle. Go and see for yourself why!


Passed under a cool bridge as I was nearing Detroit.


Saturday morning, the 19th, we went to the streets of Detroit. We all went to this one street where there were hundreds of homeless people. We started giving out homemade apple and carrot juice. We also gave out Starbucks coffee, bananas, bagels, and more. We also got to know a lot of them.


During that time, the Lord led me to a person named Dee. We all went to a buffet in a casino which is too funny! I took Dee to the buffet and we had a blast. I talked to him about the Lord, baptism, and the Holy Ghost! He understood the difference and he wanted to get baptized. So some of us took him to a nearby church to get baptized. After he got baptized, he felt so happy and had a glow on him! 


While we were going to a youth center, we past this big house that looked like a dump. Truly sad!


Bro. Maddix giving out free ice cream to children in need.


While we were at this Youth Center, I met this guy who was one of the heads of the Youth center. He felt truly thankful, because the Mission 25ers fixed their basketball hoops which were broken. They also gave them lots of gifts and gave them tons of pizza.


We went to a different apartment complex to give children ice cream and gifts. We also played kick ball with them. The people at the low income complex were truly thankful for the Lord working through us!


This is Dee getting baptized in Jesus Name!


This is the weirdest insect I have ever seen! It never attacked us either.


Me and my friend which is in a picture below went to a Mediterranean place, and I ate an exotic food. I had  a Lamb Tongue wrap! The meat was soft and hard at the same time. It tasted like lamb that was soft. :)


There are truly amazing people in this world like the guy below. *Name disclosed*

The Master Mechanic

A few weeks ago I bought a 1996 Honda Accord, and I went to get a compression test on the engine to see how the engine was doing. My mechanic told me that the score came out to be 90 which is a very bad score for the engine. I prayed and talked to the Lord about my car and what am I going to do. The Lord told me not to worry about it. I then asked the Lord to raise the compression score up so my car doesn't die in a year. I did another compression test on my car with another friend helping me because I would like to learn how to repair my own car. The compression came out to be 120! I could not believe it. The Lord fixed my engine in my car. He doesn't just heal people, he can heal cars.

I can now call him the Master Mechanic!
