Now in Guangzhou







We landed in Guangzhou and are now getting settled in to our hotel room. It's a bit tighter than what we expected, but we are making due. We pushed the two double beds together and plan to have all the girls sleep on them. The boys get the floor.

Anna was pretty nervous on her first plane ride, and shut the window for the entire trip. On takeoff it was very clear that she wasn't overly excited about the ground sinking away from her. But, she did well and we arrived safely.

Tomorrow we will meet our guide at 2:00pm to go and get Zoe. Anna has already asked about her and seems excited to meet her.

Anna has continued to adjust well. I believe that the other kids make all the difference. She really has taken to them and seems to really enjoy them. We are praying that the same will be true of Zoe.

Our guide, Anne, is very nice and most helpful. She has really helped to get us settled in and rolling.

Tonight we will probably eat at the hotel resturaunt, though we still need to do a little reconissance on it.

Glad things are going well. I'm not real fond of airplanes either. Are you staying on Shamian Island or are you in the city? We loved staying on Shamian Island. We especially like Jordan's shop and Susan's Place (owned by Dong & Susan). They are all very nice people! I also indulged several times in the Starbucks Manga Passion Fruit Smoothie. Very, very good! You will probably be getting Zoe soon. I will pray that things go well.

We have all been praying for you and are excited to get another post. We can't wait to see Zoe joining your family and God working such a wonderful work in your lives. Your little ones were really sweet today and had a good time playing with Sammy.
God Bless you all,
Pam and Walt
