Yesterday in church, we listened to the message "Shalom" that Bro. Branham preached 50 years ago yesterday. It was special, because he preached it in Sierra Vista, where we go to church. We didn't get to listen to it in the same house he preached it in, because that house burned down 13 years ago. Jaylon got to go there twice for church when he was a little boy, before it burnt down.
After we enjoyed a potluck lunch by the pond, about 30 of us went hiking 2 1/2 miles back an old railroad bed to visit the spot where the building stood that Bro. Branham preached "Shalom" in 50 years ago.
This is where the house used to be. You can barely see the concrete slab thats left of it on the right.
This is the view out the front of where the house used to be. Theres a spring under that farthest tall tree.
All of the kids and youth climbed up on the tree for a picture and to sing some songs

Here is some quotes from the message "Shalom"

43 Then, the--the Church, the reason I'd say "Shalom" to them, is because that it's God's Peace. That's what I want to bring to you this morning, for the new year's, not looking back, but we're looking forward to the breaking of a new day. Until, there is something great laying ahead of us, where the years has been the joy that we've looked forward to, the pressing, coming of the great Light. And now we can see it breaking over the horizona, horizonal realm, it's breaking between mortal and immortality. We see it breaking between heavens and earth, from an earthbound sickness and troubled world, into a bright shining day of an immortal Life and an immortal body and an immortal earth that shall never pass away. It--it's "Shalom," unto the--unto the Church. Now, it's Light time coming for the believers, but a gross darkness for the people. I...

It was a blessing to be on 'the backside of the desert' where Bro. Branham had been 50 years ago.
