Day 2

Today we started the day out by having devotions in the hotel room and talked about what to expect with our mission trip after our continental breakfast.  From there we went to the Getty Museum of Art and experienced more fine art than I have ever seen.  We saw art that was old, modern, painted, sculpted, built, and grown (in the gardens).  After the absolutely wonderful time seeing some of the most beautiful things that God has given us, we spent some time driving through some of the rich districts of LA, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive.  And sadly we saw no celebrities (sorry Dan L).  Once we got to the CSM Warehouse where we are staying this week we unpacked, had orientation, and dinner.  The cultural food of the night was Indian food, tonight we ate at CSM.  We then had a few minutes to play a fun game of Catch Phrase before we left for our Prayer Walk.  Jordan even started to make some new friends during a game of Clue.  The Prayer Walk was VERY informative and interesting and we all learned a lot about LA and what life is like for all of the people that live here.  We saw the very stark difference between Skid Row and the wealthier districts. We stopped at one of the charter schools and learned about the education system in LASD.  As we went through all of these places we prayed for all of the people in the area.  We also had a chance to go lay on the ground and get into the mindset of having to sleep outside. Its lights out at CSM, we are tired and excited to see what God has planned for us this week.
