Sunday

So it is Sunday night 9:38 pm and I am sitting in the hotel room talking with my new friend Aimee about the fact that in just 12 short hours we will be picking up our children.  I am so excited but also saddened to know how hard it is going to be from her.  Chloe has been living with a foster family since April and was brought back to the orphanage sometime this past week, so she has already had a major change in her life, so tomorrow will be hard for her.  Pray that God will give her comfort. 

Here is our day.  We had a great night sleep, ate breakfast at the hotel buffet.  Then Dennis headed to the Bank to exchange our money - he had quite an adventure that I will let him share.  I packed our bags and we checked out of the hotel and headed to the airport.  We ended up cutting it close and had to run and get lunch to take on board.  It is quite fun to order KFC by pointing at pictures.  Out flight took us to Hangzhou.  It is a beautiful city, different than Beijing,  we will be here til Friday so I am excited to see the city.  We arrived at our hotel around 5 and had to fill out paperwork for tomorrow.  We unpacked then headed out to find some dinner.  We (and the other couple we are traveling with) were wanting to eat chinese food, but could not find a place that had a picture menu so we ended up at McDonalds.  Yes I have traveled to the other side of the world and have been to McDonalds twice and KFC once. 

We are schedule to get Chloe at 9 am in the morning which will be 8 pm Sunday night your time.  We expect to be back at the hotel around 11, and will post pictures as soon as we can (and after her new brothers and sister have met her via the webcam.)  So check back Sunday night or Monday morning.

Thank you for your continuing prayers!
