Rest Day

We spent this morning shopping about 15 minute walk from the hotel. We found a store to buy water and pepsi light. (Oh, do I miss my diet coke!) We went into a movie store and we saw a sign with converse, nike, etc and we decided to go see what they had. But the workers took us to another floor. It had books and we found a couple of books for Ryan David and a book for Jesse. I can't wait to give it to her! It seemed like we were out walking all day but we came back to hotel it was only 12 PM! URGGHHHH We were able to take a nap so hopefully we will finally get on China time!

We have so many mixed emotions tonight. We are very sad for Ryan David's foster family and for him. They have been together since he was only 1 month old. I am sure they are grieving beyond believe. It makes me very sad. I am very worried about how he will react. We are prepared for the worse and praying for all.

We miss Jesse too! We were able to see her on the web cam but there is something wrong with their webcam and the mic. They can hear us, we can see them and they can see us but we can't hear them. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. We are able to call them using Skype on the phone and talk with them. Jesse seems to be doing great...much better than me. She has already gone to the zoo and shopping. How many days have we been gone!?! ;-) Thanks Mom and Dad for being wonderful grandparents! You are the best!

Buffi, we will try to find out what we can tomorrow and Lisa, we will ask to met Dani when we go to the orphanage in a couple days. Laurie and Madison, we will take the note and gifts when we visit the orphanage too. Is there someone else that I am suppose to talk to? I think the rest is for Yangjiang.

Next post will be tomorrow evening with pictures! (Hopefully) Thanks for the prayers and keep them coming! Also, thanks for posting to the comment section.

Hugs!
