Oh the incredible world God made. We had never heard of the Federated States of Micronesia. That is until yesterday, we met a really neat family in our church fellowship who are from there. We found out a bit about the tropical climate, animals while chatting. Today, we decided to study a bit more. One of my favorite fun thoughts, was the Coconut Tree Climbing as a sport. Max would fit in nicely there! He loves tree climbing! Isaac made this delicious Micronesian Pudding cake. A type of Pound cake, and coconut custard from scratch, poured on top. Yum! The adventures God presents to us, never ceases to amaze me. The Lord is Good.
