As World Racers we do a lot of different types of work. We teach, cook, clean, speak, pray, and do manual labor. Every month is something new and exciting or maybe not exciting, but we do our best to make it fun.
This month all 15 girls from the squad came together to work at a homeless shelter and thrift shop. We all split up into different areas and my friend Megan and I had a great opportunity to help in the Kawan thrift store. Almost every day we went to the store and ironed and steamed clothes. It sounds boring but because it was mindless work I got to have some great conversations with Megan and learned to know her better. It was really a lot of fun and we learned to know and love the women that worked there. We also had a great opportunity to spend a day or two at a Chinese school on their “English day” as well as at a refugee school. (I don’t have a ton of ministry pics this month because ironing looks like ironing in all parts of the world.)
Though we work hard, we also play hard, and rest hard. Here are some of my favorite moments from our off days.
