The Ocean in January

There is nothing quite like swimming in the Pacific Ocean in January.

This movie was taken yesterday on the beach in Puerto Supe, Peru (3hrs north of Lima), where we came to visit fellow SAMers, Tim and Hannah Murray. The sky was white as usual here but we still managed to get burned. P. Supe is a small fishing town - the fishing industry is in decline, however. It is a pretty depressed area. The trip on the dirty crowed bus was well worth it. We got to catch up with Tim and Hannah, go to the beach, and to watch Prince Caspian (in Spanish). The kids have been dying to see that movie and it is kind of ironic that they had to come to Puerto Supe to see it. God seems to blessing them that way - the kids are being great about everything. They got to see Hawk Nelson and TobyMac last Sunday night in Charlotte. (Gabe is working on a post about that.) When Tim said they were showing Prince Caspian for the town (only 3 people came besides us) the kids were so excited. I am so glad knows the desires of our hearts and shows his love in such small but specific ways. You can't doubt his love when you remember all he does.

Good sleep after playing hard -

We read your blog. It is a good way to get info out to everyone.
Your day at the beach was a lot better than our 9 degree morning.
We love you.

Jealous that you are swimming when we are scraping snow off cars every time we go out lately. Explain why the sky is white - always cloudy?? Keep posting.
Love you..
