Its Only Been an Hour...

Phew!!! Hey guys it's Amberlee! :D Just got off the first flight and we are now in Seatac? so I'm pretty excited! I have discovered that Seattle's Best Coffee really is better than Starbucks! : D
On the plane I sat by a guy that was jamming his elbow into my arm. Lovely. Just lovely. ;) BUT I only had to sit by him for like 45 minutes. Oh! My knitting needles went through just fine!

I have my passport now, but while we were going through security I dropped it! Luckily dad was standing behind me. :) Also! I ate the BEST chicken burger ever! And we were charged 50 cents more for using our card. Woohoo! :)


I am missing everyone very much! I would put up pictures but I don't think I can do that from my itouch. :/ sorry.

Anna (Yang Qing)'s history

Hello All. I have been reminded that I haven't given you much detail on Anna and would like to take this opportunity to let you know what we know about her so far.

Anna was abandoned when she was 6 to the orphanage. She has been in the orphanage ever since and as far as we know, never been in the foster care system.


She is from the Guangxi province and in the Liuzhou orphanage. We are in the process of sending her our third package. We can't determine whether she got the first package, but know she received the 2nd. Appears the orphanage moved and the first address we had was closed.

We do not know anything about her family history. As far as we know, she goes to public school right now, not just the orphanage school. We have several of her report cards and she appears to be a very good student. We're really happy about this part. She appears to be very compliant and sweet.

Recently we met a lady that brought an 11 year old girl home from the same orphanage just 6 weeks ago. She knew Anna and actually shared a room with her. She actually has more pictures of Anna that we are waiting to see in the mail soon.

I hope this helps you feel like you're more in touch with what's going on so far.

PLEASE continue to pray for the few processes we still need to make it through. It could go really smooth from here.... but we've seen it go slow all the way through... so hard to be real upbeat.. God is able to do more than we could ever ask or imagine.... PLEASE KEEP PRAYING!
