Vancouver - no snow!
Vancouver Airport - I wish I had time to go out for some fresh air... indeed, there's not even a trace of snow out here! I do have a bit of time though to get something to eat (I found fruit! yum!) and get a little update in. Another hour till my next flight, which will then keep me in the air pretty much till I get to my destination.
On the flight here, I sat beside this sweet little Korean woman named Zhin-Yong (at least it sounded that way). She had been visiting her 2 younger sisters in Canada for the first time. She stayed 3 weeks and saw TO, Ottawa and Quebec city. I admit I had the thought "I wonder if she's ever heard of Christ... This may be her only opportunity to hear of Him, and here I am tempted to cocoon in and read my book"... So I kept chatting with her instead. And then, it turned out she's already a Christian! Praise God! Plus, I got plenty of time to read too! Zhin-Yong is also on her way to Korea right now, but I was disappointed to find out she's on a different flight from mine. I wonder who I'll sit with during the next couple flights... It's funny how traveling alone highlights that need for companionship, even from a stranger - at least in me it does...
And now here I am, in Vancouver, quietly watching the mix of humanity around me. Airports are so cool that way. I don't think you could find a more eclectic mix of people in one place (except in Heaven I guess - where yes, there will be lots of Caucasians, but tons of other people too ;). I even saw a little Amish lady walking around in her conservative blue dress and little bonnet.
I'm kinda missing home already... but this is day 1 of a 2 months trip, my longest so far in fact. Only God knows the adventures that lie ahead!
