"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ROOTED and grounded in LOVE, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the LOVE of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

~Ephesians 3:14-21

~LIFE WITH JAMIE HOFMEISTER & MORE SWEET SURPRISES FROM THE AUSTIN FAMILY~

TRYING A NEW FRUIT (GRANADILLA) IN PERU...
Granadilla is a rich, passion fruit that is full of antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and vitamins. The granadilla native to South America and has a a sweet and sour flavor. The inside of the fruit consists of  a yellow, jelly-like pulp with a scattering of black edible seeds. 
Trying to keep an open mind...Jamie claims it is wonderful!

The inside just about made me second guess my courage...

Kids were watching...true parenting moment...realizing I always encourage the kids to keep an open mind on trying
NEW FOODS...

THE PRESSURE IS ON!

With Jamie's smile...how could we not try it!

She even got River to try some!
(Side-note: Granadilla taste wonderful...
if you come visit us in Peru, we'll make sure you get a chance to try some:)
