What’s been happening lately …

We received our Travel Approval Letter from China on August 18th, a week earlier than we expected – and that turned out to be important because a few days later all the consulate appointments in the month of September were booked. So instead of traveling in October, we were able to get an appointment for September 16th. Working back from that date, we’ve been making lots of phone calls and getting travel arrangements finalized.

That also means that it was close enough from Eric's last day of school in Beijing, that he decided to stay there to meet us rather than coming straight home. A good friend helped us find him a place to stay the extra time - a real blessing from the Lord. I'm excited that Anna and Eric will be there with us to greet Guohua. Brian isn't able to come this time - jsut starting his senior year, 3 weeks was just too much to miss. But he'll be doing some world travel soon as well - he is planning a missions trip in October to Slovakia and Romania with school.
