After that, we have group morning worship and training before heading out into the field for canvassing. In the evening, we return to base, take showers, wind down, and then it’s lights-out.
Fridays are more relaxed and are set aside for laundry, shopping, fun group activities, and vesper. On the weekends, we attend various churches in the community, sharing testimonies, leading song services, connecting with church members, and relaxing.
