Sunday 16th Sept
Its our last day in Pontiac before making our journey to Dallas in the afternoon.
We woke up early to attend to the New Christian Life Church as Adaire wanted us to meet the pastor who have got family in South Africa, who is willing to let us stay with them.
We were quite nervous as we weren't sure what to expect as it was our first time to visit/experience it. At first, we did struggle to understand the serivce but we did learnt that they are very friendly, a one big happy family. They made us feel so welcome.
We did meet a couple of people who could use ASL (American Sign Language for people who doesn't know what it means) but unfortunately we didn't know much of ASL but we managed to hold the conversations between us.
They did ask if we could talk about our travel plans on stage but we had stage fright so luckily for us, Adaire offered to talk for us along with us aside.
After the service, lots of people approached us to wish us luck with our travelling. They also shared their stories and showed us a couple of photos and requested us to keep it, which was nice of them!
To our surprise, they gave us donations towards our travelling which we hugely appreciated and amazed for their kindness. We were so surprised to learn that they gave us $512! We certainly weren't expecting it. So we would like to leave a little note on here to say a BIG thank you for all of you who have donated in case they do come on here and read our blog.
We also had photos taken with the church family to remember them in our memories for what they have done and welcome us.
In a couple of hours, we will be catching a train for our next stop.
