Favorite thing: Watching and learning about tradition customs and culture I think are my favorite things. In the photo you can see where a Communities has come together to weave a new boat house or sing and dance.

The cultures of Micronesia are very rich and they are really trying hard to hold on to them


Fondest memory: Just sitting on the floor of the central house and watching the families interact, cooking or doing the laundry and seeing the ids frolic in the water of the lagoon or the rivers that flow past the villages. I love gathering of people watching them sing and interact in their culture in Micronesia this is so possible at any church no mater the flavor or at a school or community function.
