Scripture of the Day

"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40: 30-31

Final Preparations & Baby Elizabeth's Room

Less than 36 hours to our departure date!

We have almost finished packing. We had to be careful not take too much stuff. Although our international flight to Hong Kong allows us to check in two bags, we are only allowed to take no more than 44 lbs. per person on our flights within China.

Helen spent the day putting the final touches on baby Elizabeth's room which included new curtains and a new coat of lavender paint. Way to go Super Mom!

We'll be leaving early Thursday morning departing from Houston IAH. We'll be taking a domestic flight to San Fransisco where we will have a short layover. After that, we'll be heading to Hong Kong on an 18 hour flight.

During the layover, we'll be meeting up with two other CCAI couples who will be on our same flight to Hong Kong. It will be a great time to bond especially given that we'll be together for the next two weeks. All our children are from the same province of Chongqing. We are really looking forward to meeting them.

Finally, please be sure to keep our boys, Jonathan and Joshua, in your prayers. Unfortunately, they not able to accompany us. Auntie Selina and Grandma will be watching over them. Also, thanks to all our friends for offering to help out during our absence.
