Day in Beijing

Today was a good day. Some of us couldn't sleep past 5:30 am, but Matt and Josh slept until 7:30. We visited the drum and bell towers as well as the Lama Temple. The temple was very interesting and beautiful, but also unsettling.

The rest of our group arrived today and we all went out for an early dinner this evening.

We get up at 4:00 am tomorrow to leave for the airport by 5:00. Not sure of our schedule after that, but think we should see our Grace for the first time tomorrow afternoon (that's the wee hours of Monday morning for all of you).

We are so thankful to know that loved ones are praying for us, and for our little Grace!

  3. What are the chances that Holly would wake me at 4:00am this morning with a sore tummy?!!! I was actually happy for that because it gave me a chance to imagine that first meeting as it was happening and say an extra prayer for all of you!!
