One More Day And A Wake Up!!!!!!

We leave Wednesday!!!

John and I would like to thank everyone that has helped us get to this day. The wait was a long one to say the least. The prayers and shoulders were invaluable. The many gifts are greatly appreciated.

We will try to update our blog while in China but we have decided not to try to carry a lap top with us. We have been told we will have access to computers while in china but there are no promises.

Blessings,
