Surfers Giving Back

Perfect Opportunities

Today was so epic! A couple of the neighbor girls asked me if I wanted to go on a run with them this morning, which I was super stoked about. I haven't exercised since we moved here, other than surfing. And there's no girls anywhere that exercise here, so that was exciting for me. We ran on the beach in our oversized clothing to be the least distracting to the fishermen on the beach as possible. I showed them some ab exercises and they had never done anything like that before. It was fun to teach them.
After I got home and showered, cleaned up the house a little, enjoyed a yummy breakfast that Cody made, and began to relax in my chair and have my quiet time. The house wasn't exactly "quiet" as it had begun to fill with children and Cody began working with saws and such. But the raddest thing that happened was that Anu, one of the neighbor girls (in pic above) came in and saw that I was reading my Bible, and ran home to get her Tamil Bible. We sat together and read; two different languages, troubles communicating, yet one Understanding! It really came in handy today to know all the books of the Bible in order as I looked through her Tamil Bible and was able to direct her to Psalm 139. I wanted her to know how special she was and that Papa knows everything about her. It was great how we somewhat talked about it all. Good day. Thanks Papa for the open doors! Think about Anu and her family. She is the only one that believes out of her family and I know she wants to be a light to her family.
