We took the dogs to the beach this morning for some exercise. I feel so grateful to have the ocean two blocks away! I think we are genuinely happy living here. I love small town life, although I can imagine I might feel differently if I were stuck here. We walk everywhere, buy our food from the same few people, greet all our neighbors and friends on the street.

This week I´m working on watching all the Alpha videos for the first time. At this point, I´d say there´s a good possibility that the Alpha Course will be my/our main focus of ministry here. That´s funny to imagine since we just started considering it as an idea during our support raising process (thanks, Jiljane!). The videos have been really good in my opinion-- down to earth, not particularly phony or weird, clear. The dubbing is done super well and I don´t think will be a problem. Last night one of Kyle´s friends watched the ¨Why did Jesus die?¨ session with us and was particularly intruiged.

As soon as I print out the fliers (this afternoon?) we will start inviting people to the course. We´re going to hold an open invitation night next Friday for people to come and find out about the course. Beginning the following Friday (June 6), we will have Alpha in our house every Friday night for the next 10 or so weeks. I feel hopeful and excited. Please pray that we would have a good turnout and that our home would be filled with people who want to explore Christianity together!

Here are some photos of Taza in the air. They´re not good photos, but they were so funny I couldn´t resist.
