New Friends

So yesterday was an absolute blast! We got to hang out with this cool chick named Ammerah. She took us to see the Arab American Museum which was pretty interesting. Then we went and walked some trails on the Henry Ford Estate. After that we met up with another girl, Effy, and went to buy umptah which are elastic headpieces worn under hijabs. Then it was off to the taste fest where we samples A LOT of food. We had pizza, chicken fingers, fries, lemonade, caramel popcorn, cheesecake, and hummus. Then we had some authentic arabic coffee at a Lebanese restaurant. After that we headed out to bd's Mongolian BBQ, which if you have never been there, I highly recommend it. Its actually more stir-fry than BBQ but still very good. A girl named Elyse met us for dinner. Then Ammerah took us out for dessert, we had baklava and a sweet cheesy dessert called Kanufah (If you ever try it, you have to eat it hot or its GROSS!) Then it was too Ammerah's for a fun fun sleepover. We had so much fun!!! It was just like hanging out with girls we had known forever. We stayed up till 2 am just hanging out and watching a movie called Paradise Now. Then this morning we went out for bfast and then went finally to an english speaking mosque. Over breakfast the morning, we were able to get into a more serious spiritual conversation with Ammerah, she brought it up and it just flowed naturally. We were able to explain to her exactly what it is we believe and were even able to share the Kingdom circles illustration. At no time was it awkward and neither side was trying to pressure the other. We were just able to talk freely, it was such a blessing. Then it was time for the mosque which cut our conversation short but we were able to just get in the car and go back to normal conversation without it being awkward at all. Thanks to all who have been praying for opportunities like this, God is really opening doors.
