Oh, it does rain!

I heard that Vancouver was rainy, but until today, I didn't really know just HOW rainy it is. Yikes. We spent the day getting to know the city by walking for hours and hours through the pouring rain. Though it wasn't too cold, by the time dinner rolled around, we were chilled to the bone! Nothing like heavy rain to explore the city with (we took pictures in Stanley park).

As I have mentioned before, right now we are going through our orientation weeks. That means that we spend a good chunk, every day, learning about and exploring our new host country. Yesterday (sunday), I got to check out a local church and was surprised to find a fiddle-player as one of the worship leaders. It added quite a unique sound! 

My new housemate and team member Anjali, invited one of her non-Christian friends to join us for church. Afterwards, we sat out on our steps, watching people, and discussing her first experience of church. It was the perfect way to end the day. 

By the way, this is my team with the Staff members.
