safe in Changsha

We made it to Changsha. We are staying at a beautiful hotel with tons of restaurants and activities including a playroom right down the hall from our room. We staying here for most of the week so we'll need lots of activities. Tomorrow is the BIG DAY! They changed our placement time to 3:00 pm now. We are so excited! Until tomorrow....

Well, you've left Beijing behind and we are glad you've arrived safely in Changsha and have such a nice place to stay for the week. The day will seem long to you until you get your 3 p.m. time to meet Tianna. What happens the first day? You just spend some time with her? At what point do you get to keep her more of the time?
We are having blizzard-like conditions and our 2nd church service was cancelled. This Iowa winter is taking its toll...
Remember to plant an extra kiss on Tianna's sweet face for me!

Al prayed for you during church today. You are SO in our thoughts and prayers. I'm checking your blog constantly, anxious for updates. It's just a matter of hours. Wow! May the Lord give you strength today as you wait for your appointment. When I wake up tomorrow, you'll be a family of 4! All these years of waiting, has turned into hours, and minutes.

The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him. Nahum 1:7

Praising Him with you,
Kate
