FINAL UPDATE FROM CHINA

END IN SIGHT

Friday, March 16 marks the end of nearly 3 weeks in China. It has been an incredible trip in many ways. What started with Andrew, Amy and Mike leaving White Oak concludes with Andrew, Amy, Mike, Eric and Brandon returning to White Oak. Today we submitted Eric and Brandon’s paperwork for them to get their US Visa and their documentation to become US Citizens. They will become US Citizens when we arrive at the airport in San Francisco late Friday night. Our travel plans are as follows:

· leave Guangzhou at 10:20 pm Friday March 16 (9:20 am CST); Arrive in Hong Kong at 10:15 pm;
· leave Hong Kong at 1:00 am Saturday March 17; Arrive in San Francisco 10:00 pm Friday March 16;
· leave San Francisco 12:35 am Saturday March 17; Arrive in Dallas at 5:45 am.

As you think of us, please pray for our flights. Also pray that we would get a little sleep on the trip. Thank you to those of you that have said you have been praying. We look forward to seeing many of you in the coming days. Sorry no pictures today. Lord willing, the next pictures we post should have some of all 9 of us!

We want to thank Josh and Amanda for faithfully posting these posts and pictures every day since we cannot access blog sites from China. We would like to also thank both of our parents (Urban & Ardella Gathman and Harold and Pat Hood) for their help in watching the 4 Hoods that did not come with us – you were a valuable part of this trip.
