Taste of Indonesia

We loved hearing all about Tom's trip to Indonesia. He brought us wonderful fresh oranges straight from the tree and some other more "peculiar' snacks.

This one had to be the strangest, especially if you're expecting a sweet snack like we were. It was like condensed cream of chicken soup in a stick. A chicken soup hot dog? Not our fave.

We also ate Indonesian style one night. We didn't actually make authentic Indonesian food but ate Thai food, Indonesian style. The kids thought it was really funny to eat white rice (not sticky rice) with our hands. It did seem funny to dig right into a bowl of curry with our fingers!

Silas didn't want to touch anything at first but then got into it and we had a little bit of a hard time getting him to stop using his hands during future meals! :) Of course they all liked splashing in the finger bowls.

We're really happy Tom got to make the trip and it was fun learning about Indonesia when he returned. We also added several new friends/brothers from Kenya and Eratrea to our prayer list and have learned more about persecuted believers. It's so easy to forget to pray for them!
