Overall we had a good month with meeting potential contacts for future race teams and I greatly enjoyed spending time with my new team. Some of our random ministry days involved moving furniture, tearing down an abandoned home/property, and setting up a garden at a shelter designed to help women get out of the trafficking industry.
