Week Monday 26 March to 01 April
The trip from Las Vegas to Redding we decided to break by spending a night at Bakersfield en route, so although we left early Monday morning, it was Tuesday afternoon before we finally made it to the home of our hosts in Redding. We had organised to stay in a family home of one of the members of Bethel Church. This was a lovely welcoming family, Daryl, Patty, Ali and Ezra. There was little happening at Bethel because their BSSM students were away, and our visit coincided with their in-house family conference, (with guest speaker Jack Hayford) and the school break.
We did have a little look around the amazing complex, and went to their Friday night, and Sunday services. There was an amazing sense of God's presence, especially during the worship times.

Hired a car for the weekend so had freedom to attend their services. Also visited a couple of the sights of the city, the Shasta Dam and the Sundial bridge. Since it was raining much of the time in the first few days, we were not able to get the snow coated Shasta peak in our photo of the dam.

Because not much happening at Bethel in the coming week, decided to head up to Spokane during the week and return to Bethel for the weekend.
