In Vancouver

We are here in Vancouver. We arrived yesterday and have been very busy since we got here. I have managed to briefly update the Wedgworship blog so if you are interested in more that what I write here, check it out. Also, Holmes Happenings may reflect some of our trip b/c Genny is with us as well as Paige Griffin. I plan to update the trip with much more detail once we get back but for now here are the highlights - in pictures...... Pray for us this week as we serve and share the Good News through basketball and music camps, servant evangelism and prayer walking. We are excited to see what God is already doing here at Royal Heights and blessed that we can partner with them for this short time.
This is Sheila, she is the missions director at Royal Heights Baptist Church, the church we are working with here. She is a sweet lady and has worked hard with us planning all the elements of this trip.

Pastor Alan, the pastor of Royal Heights. He talked with us a little the first night we arrived. The church graciously served us dinner and we learned alot about the area they are serving here in Surrey/Delta/Vancouver area. He shared his heart for this area and the church's vision. He is a servant - and he can preach!

BEAUTIFUL HYDRANGAS! These are everywhere and they are huge and gorgeous. You don't see these in Texas this big - I guess ours get scorched.

This is the entrance to the Capilano Bridge.

The overall view of the Suspension Bridge from the lookout point. It was fun walking across - beautiful views!

Some of our group crossing over.

The trees all around are huge - it's a little misty in these pictures.


Wayne next to the "Wii" smart car. These look like little toy cars. This was at the Richmond Night Market. Very cute.
At the market, there are all kinds of food vendors. Everything from slushes to grilled eel - mostly Asian influenced cuisine. This guy was making some kind of funnel cake - he was really putting on a show and when he saw my camera, he posed.

I am so jealous. I LOVE bridges, and that one looks COOL! Hope the ministry assignments go well this week. Can't wait to hear more about it.
