Day 1

Well, after about 28 hours of travel, we made it to our hotel late last night (Friday night in China- Friday morning in TN). Our hotel is super nice and our room is a lot bigger than I expected especially after reading all the reviews about hotels in China. Our room already has 2 cribs in it just waiting for Annabelle and Timothy.

We had a free day today so we slept late then went downstairs for a great breakfast! Then out and about near our hotel. The coffee was not so good at the hotel so we went to Starbucks around the corner. Although, I think we might try one of the other coffee shops around here. There are quite a few.

Went to 7 eleven (yes, that's right...7 eleven) and got some bottled water and this....




We are going to try to watch Calvary's live feed for the Sat. night 6PM service.... It will be Sunday at 7 AM here in China. I pray it will come through. Also tomorrow we have a meeting with all the families here from our adoption agency (Lifeline) and our guides. There are about 9 families here this week receiving their children with us on Monday. I think about 8 more families will join us next week after receiving their children in different provinces. We haven't run into any of our group yet but have seen others who have their new children and are on their way out. Sunday (tomorrow) is our last day before Timothy and Annabelle join us. If you think of us, please pray for our transition and for Timothy and Annabelle to have peace. I know God has been preparing their hearts.

We are so blessed to be here adding to our family and so overwhelmed that this is God's plan for us. Thank you for your support and prayers.
Blessings,
~B
