Just arrived in Kunming, another layover.  Its after 1 am and Anna's crashed, the boys are in another room and my tummy's not too good tonight!  Our guide was so awesome, a young 22 year old. Fuzhou is so beautiful. Took Anna to see where we met her. Words could not express but tears do.  It was a speechless moment between us both.  She is just amazing and handling this travel much better than I expected. She is loving China and speaking many words already. She remembers them all for us! LOL Just like our Anna she lives and empraces life to the fullest!

Had an amazing day at Hidden Treasure orphanage, Mike and Deena are amazing people.  Their hearts are precious and full of Our Father's love and it shows everywhere.  They brought a new little girl home while we were there!  They are loving on the local prostitutes and pimps.  They are spreading our Father's love one person at a time!  Absolutely amazing works being His hands and Feet!  We visited with all the kids and met many young people doing short term mission trips.  SOOO awesome!  The boys played guitar for the kids, Anna handed out lollipops to the local village children.  She was a hit!!  The best part, well it was all the best part, but when we visited with the orphans, yes you guessed it, Anna was right in there talking so sweetly to the kids, holding them, talking to them.  Not one word from mom she just got right in there.  Oh my goodness, I can't tell you what I felt!  GEEZZZZZ  Amazing, Overwhelming love!!!! 

To my courage house sweet friends and my knitting- jewelry partner Laurie, I gave all your beautiful handmade hats and bracelets to the kids.  They LOVED them!  Thank you for making them such sweet gifts!!!  Now it is very hot so they didn't all want one on their heads, but they will use them for sure in the winter!!

Very emotional for me!  Very!  In a good way you know!! 

Very tired.   Tomorrow I will have time to post more and I don't have Aarons camera so better pics to come.  So much to write.....  

OH!  There is some confusion to when we get Ariana now.  We were told by our agency Monday, then it was moved to Sunday and now its Monday morning.  I will keep you posted.  Please keep prayers coming for her during this transition time!  I saw a little girl on the plane who looked so much like her.... waved to her (noone spoke english on the flight) and the tears just came.  NOT long now Ariana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much love from Kunming, China!

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perserverance.  Romans 8:25

But those who wait for the Lord shall change and renew their stremgth and power, they shall lift their wings and mount up as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.  Isaiah 40:31
