Since arriving we have been generally getting to know the area we live in, last night we went out to a coffee shop opening and had some coffee, and listen to some live music, then we went to see Bethel Church, we drove up at about 10 o clock, theres a conference there this weekend so we didnt go in but the building is huge. its on a hill overlooking the city. We were asked by the school not to go to church this sunday because with the students and the conference on there would be too many thousands of people there, so we will have a sunday off. the only one probably for the next 9 months.
Today we woke up early and headed to Whiskeytown, it has a amazing mountainus national Park with lakes in. We were able to swim in one of the lakes called brandy creek swim lake. It was beautiful. there was a man made beach next to it, so we relaxed and played catch and went for a swim.
We went for lunch at Subway, there was a couple behind us, they asked lil straight away if we were going to school(as in Bethel) they had done the 1st yr last year, and were staying around this year to go to the church i think. Everywhere we go (like at the mall today) people ask 'so u guys at School?' then they say 'we go to Bethel too' haha.
We are home now just reading and relaxing, Lil, Ads and Em have gone to starbucks, which is
about a mile away. i think they will get good business from us while we are here!!
