More answers...

I guess nobody has any more questions, but if you think of some, please let us know. We're happy to share about this amazing place we call home!

*Am really interested in your menu comments. Is the veggie protein what takes the place of beef? What about chicken? Do they raise chickens on the island?



The TVP we use in place of ground beef because it won't take up room in the freezer (which is very small) and it lasts almost indefinitely. We usually bring a little bit of frozen chicken with us for a special treat, but we love it when chicken in pouches arrives in care packages because it also stays good for so long. We bought a chicken last time we were in Marulaon, and it is waiting for us and getting fat while running around and eating the bugs in our garden.

As I read your blog, I'm always feeling a mixture of awe and envy... not a bitter envy, maybe more of a longing?

I'm not so naive as to assume that your life is a vacation (!), but still, the freedom to drop school and go fishing or swimming, to experience a different culture, to enjoy the tropical climate and foods, etc.

Yet I can see at least some of the sacrifices you make, and so graciously. That your children are so well-adjusted speaks volumes of your (and husband's) relationship with the Lord and each other.

What an amazing childhood they're having!

Praying for you as you pack to move again,

Julie

Why do you move from one island to another?
