Below is a collection of pictures from our visit to the orphanage/hospital we visited in Vietnam (which I blogged about earlier).  These specific pictures show one kind of ministry we did–they are our World Racer girls working hard–each with a special, little, newborn baby we got to hold & pray for.  Some of the girls were able to visit this place on a regular basis during our two weeks of ministry.

This was Thursday, September 25 & we had only five more days left.
 
 Saying good-bye
 
& so on our night-off, we played hard!  Our whole squad went out on a dinner boat ride down the Saigon River!  It was amazing!  I had never done anyting like this before & I will always remember it!

 
Our night-off was perfect for a Saigon River trip.
 
I got really close to my team-mate, Kara & my accountablity partner, Marissa while we were in Vietnam.

 
Kara, Marissa,  and  I.
 
I LOVE YOU BOTH!!!

 
The boat dinner was a nice treat away from that hotel of ours.
 
Marissa being serious =)

 
We work hard  and  we play hard!
 
How can you not play around with chop-sticks?!

 
Perfect example of me NOT being culturally appropriate.
 
We needed a night together out & I am so glad we did!  If all you did was work with your team & never have fun, then we might just pull-eachother to shreds by the end of the month!  & we don’t want that, so we try to always have fun with whatever it is we are doing!   

 
I LOVE MY TEAM =)
 
It’s good to build great memories w/my lovely WRace fam.  We actually like eachother 😉

 
Yep, that's my team-leader.  She is probably the coolest math teacher I know.
 
Jennifer (above) is “Ball-er”!  I hope I did the ghetto-spelling right?  I’m not from the block, as you can tell!

 
To Phnom Penh!
 
Leaving for Phnom Penh–well, not for a few more days from our dinner on the boat.
 
GOOD NEWS:  We are exactly half-way thru all the picture blogs I have been posting recently!  That means only 6 more & then I will be done!  I will write you all a blog about my time in Cambodia when I finish up.  I really loved Cambodia & I want to share all that God did while I was there!  

   To sum-up, I hope you all are enjoying getting to see what I have been up to on this crazy missionary adventure that I am on.  The Race has been filled with days that are so very full of surprises & I love it!  Hard on the heart sometimes, but good!  I still have a long way to go…this is month five & I have 6 more to go!  We did some house visits today & a service.  We just arrived at our location for ministry here in Thailand yesturday…so there is more to come, lots to write about, but now it is time for me to go to bed.  I am quite tired.   

Night Night!
