Our Detroit Trip was very sweet. We ate a lot, saw a lot of old friends, and got to see the new chapel that was just built. Saturday night we stayed up about 45 miles from the city with Sister Hobbs, who Mike knew on his mission. She has 3 cute amazing girls and 4 little dogs. That night we went to a carnival. It was a lot of fun to ride rides, get sick, and see fireworks. They had an amazing petting zoo there where we got to pet sheep, and goats, a camel, a buffalo, a giant tortoise, kangaroos, llamas, and lots of other cool animals.
On Sunday we got to go to the new chapel that was just built in Detroit. It is a million times the upgrade over the old 6 story bank that the branch used to meet in. It is interesting because it is in such a rough area, all of the doors and windows are bullet proof. It has an electric fense around the whole building, and security cameras watching the surrounding areas. It's not very inviting, but what you have to do to keep a building looking nice in the heart of Detroit.
We were able to see a lot of people. It was lots of fun. We can't wait to go back!!!

Wow, that looks like a scary part of town. I forget how lucky I am to live in the safe place that I do. It looks like a fun trip...that pizza looked yummy!
Yikes, that old building needs to be torn down. The members must be estastic to have the new one. Fun Pics, I had missed hearing from you and the Hub.
I'm so glad you both live close enough to your missions to visit - how fun!
(yum on the pizza - I'm drooling)
Oh I love the pictures soooo much! Being back in your old mission field seeing some of your families. What a wonderful opportunity!
