Vancouver: Meeting New Friends

The awesome part about staying at the same mission throughout the week is that we develop relationships with clients who come back on a regular basis. Today, many of our students were asked, "Are you here all week?" or "Will you be here tomorrow?"

Students are becoming more comfortable with meeting new people and hearing stories from new friends. We are seeing the beauty in every individual, no matter what they've been through or what they struggle with.

Some comments from students:
"The people we have met are very hurt but still full of joy"- Katie M

"I met this guy named John and he taught me how to play chess. He basically played for me the whole game, so I beat him, haha!" - Katie T

"I met Larry, he's really cool and made me laugh the whole time on Monday" - Shanique

"Our group is really positive and we get along really great" - Tommy

"I met this guy from Ontario, we talked about Twilight and Hunger Games" - Jamey

"I met a guy named Randy, he is awesome and he played me a song on his guitar that he wrote, it was so beautiful. He also told me that beauty is on the inside and the he knows so many beautiful people."    - Melissa

Thanks for sharing in our journey with us. We look forward to another two more full days in Vancouver.

Here are a few pictures from today's experience at the Women's Shelter. We are not allowed to take pictures with clients so this was before they came:
