East Bound and Down loaded up and Truckin'




We've got a looooooooong way to go and a short time to get there!

We are finally packed. I hope we have everything. I have checked and re-checked our important paper file and I am pretty sure I have everything I am supposed to have. My folks will take us to the airport tomorrow and then take our truck to get the door fixed while we are gone. (the truck door mishap...is a story for another day....LOL)

Please pray for traveling mercies for us. Pray for favor for us with GOD and man. Pray that we will be a blessing coming and going and in between.  Pray that GOD will take us by the hand and lead us where we need to go and that He will make all the rough places plain. Please pray for super natural bonding with our daughter who we will probably meet on Monday. Please pray for our health, our ability to deal with a new time zone, new culture....etc. Pray we remember not to drink the water...Pray that GOD would love Jolie through us and love us through her. Pray that we will stand amazed...He always amazes us.

We will be touring Beijing on Saturday and it's supposed to snow. We go to Jolie's province on Sunday.  Thanks for your prayers and concerns for us!

  3. I just returned from Beijing and Shanghai Friday. Don't drink the water and if you can avoid....don't breath the air (you will understand why they wear those masks in Beijing). Praying for a safe trip and the new baby.
