A Wonderful Weekend In California

We had two great services at Avenal Assembly Sunday and two great meals with Pastor Doug Spencer and his family. I really enjoyed preaching both services and the folks responded in the altar both times. I always love that. Please pray that God will give us souls in the altar every night this week. It would be awesome to see about a dozen saved and added to the church.

Since we decided to leave the BoggsMoblie parked in Riverdale we did have quite a bit more driving to do but it was worth it. It is just a shade over 40 miles from Riverdale to Avenal and a few miles more on the return trip since we detoured for meals both times. We drove about 175 miles Sunday, had two services, enjoyed fellowship and great meals twice and still had time for nearly an hour nap in the afternoon. That is not a bad day at all.

I told you that Kelly Jo and I went for a drive on Friday. I hope to have the pictures from that drive ready to post tomorrow. Saturday we did as much of nothing as we could cram into one day. In the evening I tried to prepare for Sunday and Kelly Jo and Odie ran into town for a couple of hours or so. All in all we had a super great weekend.

The weather has cooled some here in central California but it is still VERY nice compared to most of the country right now. It was supposed to be 40 last night but is going up to 68 today. I am so glad we missed the deep freeze for once. I may finally be in the right place at the right time. Even though I am sure we will encounter our share of cold weather soon enough, I am trying my best to boycott winter as long as possible this year.

I hope you had a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the Revival In Pictures below.

Thanks for reading.

Revival In Pictures - Hanford and Fresno

We did not move yesterday so the view this week is the same as last. We will drive back and forth to Avenal each night for revival and stay parked right here at Riverdale. But there is a nice picture below.

Here is a great picture Kelly Jo snapped Friday on our drive into the mountains.

That picture is just a preview of a post that should come later in the week. We had a great drive day Friday and we will tell you all about it then.

We are supposed to start revival this morning in Avenal, California for Pastor Doug Spencer. We have sang and preached at Avenal several times and been here two or three nights in a row but this will be our first full week revival there so we are very excited about it. I am sure we will have some pictures from Avenal in tomorrow's post.

I hope you have a great Sunday.

Friends Plus Fellowship Equals Fun

Hello! Odie writing to you again from California. Our time in this great state is coming to an end soon but we sure have enjoyed ourselves. We plan to enjoy this coming week with Pastor Doug Spencer and everyone at Avenal Assembly and then a Sunday in Arbuckle before moving east. 

We had an excellent time this week at Souls Harbor Holiness Church.  The Lord was there to meet us in each service.  It is always wonderful to be with the Munoz clan and all of our friends there in Fresno!  

I especially like getting to be with the kids met when I was a kid. As Dad has told you I turned 7 during our first trip to California. I made some lifelong friends with kids on that and subsequent trips. Most of those "kids" are now married with little ones of their own. I really enjoy getting to know their children. I now have several new little buddies.

Last Saturday I was able to spend the day with my friend Tammy Ferguson. We had a great day shopping in Fresno and a very good relaxing lunch.  I enjoyed getting to talk face to face, instead of via the phone or text messaging. It was an all around fun day spent with a good friend, shopping, eating and laughing.

I snapped some fun pictures along the way. Thanks, Tammy, for taking time to spend the day with me! I am thankful for the privilege and blessing to call you friend!

Olive Garden was offering endless Pasta. I was able enjoy two helpings without blowing my diet. We ordered the light salad dressing on our salads.  I can hardly tell a difference between light and regular. It is really tasty!

 

 

Starbucks was a yummy way to cap the day in town. 

Tammy joined us at church that night in Hanford. It is always a joy to be in service with her.

Have a wonderful weekend! 

Odie
