Last day in China

Well, we have spent our last day here in Guangzhou. We spent the morning packing and figuring out how we were going to bring home all that we have accumulated during our visit. Then we walked around and visited a few last shops until it was time for our appt. to the U. S. Consolute. We got to the Consolute at about 3:30 with about 50 other families. We were talked to as a group about all the paperwork that we will bring to immigration when we land in the U. S. and were given directions on all that needed to be done. Then we all stood up and raised our right hand and took an oath--it was quite emotional for me. Grace is REALLY ours and once we land in Chicago she is automatically a U. S. citizen with freedoms and rights she would have never had if she were to stay in China. Along with having the opportunity to live in the greatest country in the world, she will also now have a real family to love her forever and ever. And even better than all of that, she will now be able to know her Saviour and the blessings that He has in store for her!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, dear Lord, for allowing me to be a part of this unbelievable experience---I am grateful beyond words. And thank you to all of you who have "accompanied" us on this incredible journey-for all of your prayers, your words of encouragement, your love and support. We love you all!
