Our two weeks parked in Pinole was a blessing. We had a great meeting at First Baptist the first week and several accepted Christ! We had the second week off and enjoyed getting caught up on some things and fellowshipping with the church people. The body damage on our truck was repaired during this time and it looks great. Now we are in Oroville, CA where we get a break from the bay area traffic. I don't know how those people drive in that traffic every day! This half week is a prophecy conference and we have already seen at least eleven individuals trust in Christ.

Our nearly 2,000 mile drive to get from NC to AZ was smooth and without incident, Praise the Lord! Over a month's time while parked in the Tucson area, we had 3 excellent meetings and a great hike in the Grand Canyon. The hike included 20 total miles while carrying a 35 pound pack. It started with a 7 mile descent with overnight camping at the Bright Angel Campground. A mile into the second day 4.5 mile uphill hike, I twisted my ankle and went down. Fortunately, I twist this ankle often so I was able to continue on in a little pain. We camped at Indian Gardens the second night and the temperature got down to 39 degrees. The final hike out totaled 4.5 miles uphill. What a thrill to see the beauty of the Grand Canyon up close! We were relieved to get a hot shower after the hike. I would definitely do it again. Last week we were in Atascadero, CA and this week we are in San Jose. In June we are recording a second team cd. The sound tracks are being created and we will convene in southern Indiana for 2 days to record. Have a great Spring day and God bless!
