Skid Row....

Last week, we went on a very interesting mission to pass out peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to our "friends" in downtown LA. (We decided not to use words such as homeless, poor, and etc. so we call them "friend")

The preparation....














The Gals...


The Dudes....



First we took a short walk to the bus stop.....



Then we took the bus to the MetroRail Station....





At the MetroRail Station, we took the Blue Line all the way to downtown LA...








We arrived to a underground MetroRail station in downtown LA...


Once we walked out, it was another world out there....


We took a short walk to our destination, Skid Row....


There, we spited up into groups of 5 or 6 people and head off to our advanture....



Our group came across a friend from India. He claims that he's a med student and just recently moved out here to LA to try to start a new life....we will be praying for him....



During our advanture, we kept running into other teams which were doing a fantastic job but we were kind hoping they weren't in our way....j/k....



During the trip....most of us had to use the restroom pretty bad....and we finally found a public restroom....it was out of order....



After we were done giving out our goodies, it was time to head back home....



I was very proud of everyone of our youth and leaders that was there....they've brighten so many friend's day that day! May God remember your hard work and reward you through his blessings!
