The Gift

  • For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
  • For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
  • If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

Our Last Night In China

Dear Family and Friends,

This is our last night in China and I have mixed emotions. I am so very eager to get home, yet love China and the people I have met here. I almost wish I could have a few more days to see more of the country. But, I am happy to be able to get home and settle into a schedule with Sophie.

She remains a very easy baby. We are starting to figure one another out and it seems to get easier every day.

Today we did some sightseeing in Guangzhou. We visited and archeological dig of a king (at least that's who I think he was) - very intersting - they did a wonderful job of preserving what they could. Then we visited a Buddist Temple that is over 1,000 years old - Paul and the other family climbed the 17 stories to the top, but Sophie and I elected to stay on the ground. The stairs were rather steep and the last thing I needed was to fall down the stairs and fracture a kneecap or something! Sophie, of course, was very charming and flirty! She had two of the guards totally captivated! They talked to her and she laughed at all the right moments! Too cute, my baby! The little old ladies all loved to talk to her as well! At least today I didn't get stopped by the Clothing Police - I'll explain more later to those of you who don't know about this issue in China!

I've got to run for now, we have a very early morning call and I need to get some sleep.

See you all soon,

Blessings,

Chinamom and Sophie
