2025, Day 9: Day of Rest

Our hosts served us breakfast in their homes and we headed to Minneapolis and the house where the ARC team meets for church. We enjoyed the good singing and testimony time. Nathanael and Chadwin shared encouraging short sermons.

Everyone reconvened back at the Hive for a delicious meal of rice and beans and toppings. It was a fine day to be outside, so we walked around a mile down around the corner to the site of George Floyd’s death. We saw the mural and memorial and talked with a journalist and author who came up to talk with us.

For the rest of the afternoon, some took walks in the park, rested, or read. The ARC staff served another tasty meal, which we of course combined with hearty conversations. Afterward, Anita led a cross-cultural communication simulation for the group to participate in, and then we headed back to Altona. The colony youth invited us to join them for volleyball before calling it a day.
