Heading out!

After a few days of intensive workshops we left Timberline Ranch in our groups to four main areas.  The Richmond and North Vancouver teams left for their respective destinations Wednesday.  The Victoria and Kelowna groups left bright and early Thursday morning.  We will be starting the festivals in the communities at 3 PM today!!!

All of us really enjoyed the time we had at Timberline Ranch.  Most, if not all, of us have been able to learn so much both from the speakers and from the workshops.  Wednesday, some of us were able to put on a sort of talent show of what we have learned in the past couple days.  Josiah K. and Becca did what is called a Slinkey Dance.  Basically what they do is stand inside some sort of flexible tube and then they will act out a story while they bend and twist around.  Take a look at the pictures I'll be putting on. 

Yesterday the Richmond team went over to World Harvest Church and did some more training after devotions led by our team leader Michael Parker.  In the after noon we walked over to the site we will be having our festivals at, Trinity Lutheran Church.  After that, most of us walked over to the mall and wandered around for a couple hours.  After supper we got to meet some of the local volunteers that will be helping us put on the festival.

We are all very excited to finally get started with the festivals.  There is a high chance of rain at the sites we are supposed to be putting them on.  Please pray for clear skies and good weather for the next couple days.

Signing out from Richmond BC!
