Last night we went to this restaurant called cool hand lukes and our waiter was a Bethel guy called josh, which we found out whilst chatting to him. he said he felt drawn to us and said he felt like we were all quite big players in our home churches and that they will miss us but not to worry about them because Gods got his hand on them, and then after the meal (which was huuuge) josh asked him to pray for us, so we went outside, because the waiters have been asked by the boss not to pray for people in the shop, and josh prayed for each of us individually. What he said over each of us was so accurate, the holy spirit really spoke to him and he really spoke deep into our lives, especially over lil. It was so exciting.

Registration day! we got to Bethel at about 9.30 and there was a massive queue outside, so we joined up and got talking to a few people in the international line. Met some people from the uk and a canadian girl who is in izzy and lils revival group (a group of about 70 1st yrs). We met our revival group leaders and registered, got our name badges and photo taken. we were given a folder with information in and all our notes we need to this year, also our 1st reading book which is called world aflame by rick joyner. I have started reading it and it is already very exciting, and makes me more excited about the upcoming year.

After registration we went to starbucks and sat outside, then we headed home to sort our our folder and look through the work we have got to do this year. after reading each book we have to write a book report about it. we also have to read chapters of the bible each day, so our homework will be a couple of hours a night.

We went for lunch to Chipotle, which sells yummy burritos and tacos. whilst in the queue Ad, Em, and Josh met a man called Jerry who over heard them talking and offered to buy them lunch, they asked what he does and it turned out he was the manager of Jesus Culture, the band that tours the world doing youth conferences. wow. what a job.

We have just sat down for dinner on the decking outside as its so hot inside. someone who we talked to earlier said it doesn't really get cold in the winter and autumn doesn't really happen as it stays warm until beginning of nov, then starts getting cold for winter and by feb its getting warm again which is nice.

Tomorrow we might go and look at a car then school starts at 12.45 so we are looking forward to that. our schedules look exciting, we get taught by Bill Johnson on a tues and Kris Vallotton on a wed and we have worship 3 days a week. outreach stuff starts in about 6-7 weeks. we go on retreat in 2 weeks in our revival groups, not sure where yet, but looking forward to it.

  1. Thanks for the blogs and pics, feeling just a tad jealous!
    Lil you'll be pleased to know I have now painted the front door which is as exciting as it gets here in Cheddar. On Sunday a load of us did a deep clean at the cafe which was actually marginally more fun than it sounds, felt the old team work thing kicking in there for a mo. More grease than John Travolta though!
    Heather & I are going to Ladram Bay on the south coast for the weekend in a caravan/mobile home which would probably fit into your utility room.
    More Wild cutting edge news when we get back.
    incidentally can the world & his wife read this or just you guys in Bethel?
