When we woke up this morning, we all were discouraged thinking "Oh man, we've got another 5 days before we see our friends in Hong Kong and then get to go home." BUT this afternoon we decided to make a trip to the island and hang out there for a while and then go to Lucys, an American restaurant on the island that is pretty good. We went to Lucys during both of our previous trips and enjoyed it. SO.... first of all... I had been told about a store here on the island that sold Bibles in English and Chinese. They're about $17 us dollars. The couple who owns the store are Christians and very very sweet people. We enjoyed very much our visit with them and being able to shop in their store with no haggling. They even gave each of us a free gift when we left.
After we ate at Lucy's we spent a good hour or more playing the equivalence of hacky-sack. We all enjoyed playing off and on.. The girls were so happy tonight and entered in on family affairs. Joking and laughing. It was SUCH a nice day..
Thanks for all your prayers. The Lord helped us through another day and we are so very thankful for His goodness.
Love you all very much. Enjoy the happy pictures!!

It looks like everything is going well. The Pictures are lovely of the Flowers. The family seems good. The girls seem really happy. Zoe seems very happy as well and also in the picture with Shawn. The game that the family is playing with one of those hacky sacks looks like you are all having fun playing together.
So glad you had a good day! We are still thinking of you and praying. We've been mentioning you in our SS class and they're praying too. :-)

We keep praying for you. What a pretty picture of Zoe and Shawn with Zoe smiling. We look forward to seeing you back here soon!
Isn't God amazing?! It was so nice to see the picture of Zoe smiling and to hear that both girls are doing well. Will pray that God will continue to give you strength and good family bonding in your remaining time there.
