We're in China

LONGEST
FLIGHT EVER!!
As I type
this, we are on our flight to Hong Kong.
We’ve been on this flight for 9 ½ hours!!!...and still have 6 hours to
go!!! L
This is such a hard part of the journey!
Andrew’s loving it though. He’s
on his 3rd ice-cream…don’t know how many juices…maybe his 4th
movie, and I don’t know how many trips to the bathroom! He’s so cute.
(He’ll love me for saying that.)
Several hours ago he said, “Have you ever had this much fun past
midnight?!” I don’t think I’m having as
much fun as he is, but I have to say, Cathay Pacific has the best service and
plane features drinks and snacks, etc.
and yes, we’re in economy seats.) This
airline had the itinerary we needed, and although their adult tickets were
slightly higher, their kid tickets were cheaper than others, so it evens out to
our benefit...(especially since we have to add 2 extra kid tickets coming
home.) J

UPDATE ON
SKYPING WITH BRANDON
The Lord
provided and we were able to skype with Brandon the night before we left. This was our first contact with him and it
went great! He had a translator with him
and felt comfortable to ask several questions.
It really eased some of our fears and left us feeling encouraged. We meet him in person on Tues. Mar. 6! Can’t wait!
MEETING ERIC
AT THE AIRPORT!!!
Eric (along
with Luke…a Catholic priest) met us at the airport! Then we got to go to Eric’s home and meet his
foster parents and a few of his foster brothers! It was great!
We played Uno together, had tea, and got to see his bedroom. Eric was shy about initiating conversation
(due to his limited English) but seemed very comfortable playing Uno with
us. It was a great start. We have plans to visit his school tomorrow,
along with the baby home that China Little Flower runs. We’re more than ready to crash and have a big
day tomorrow.
We’ll try to
post again soon!
Thanks for
praying!!!
