At Oakhurst near the entrance of Yosemite

October 09, 2016

Heading out of Yreka on a beautiful fall day, we drove over four hundred miles to Oakhurst, where Terry Cederblom, my old friend from high school days in Panama, is pastor of the Assembly of God church. Had a great time in Terry and Lynn's home, and at the church sharing with the missions committee and a window in the service.
