We got a pretty decent amount of sleep last night (11pm til 6am China time) so we are grateful.  It's a bit odd because it felt like 11am til 6pm but we hadn't gotten much rest on the plane.  We are trying to just go with China time though now our bodies feel like it's 9:21pm as I type this.  I'm not letting the children dwell on this but it is quite interesting.  We are in China so just trying to go with it!!  We really do stand out even here at the hotel. 

Our big objective today is to get to Nanning.  I will feel much closer to Jake once we're there.  I also look forward to meeting David, our guide, and hopefully will feel comfortable asking him the thousand questions that I have (don't worry for those of you that really know me...I'll narrow my questions down to just 5-6 big ones cause we have a few days with him and I can probably get in a good 20-30 questions:)). 

We have seen lots of little Chinese children here and there and my heart melts.  I can just picture him.  Okay, ready for a really obvious statement.....children cry the same in all languages.  This morning I heard a little child fall and immediately the Mama in me wondered if it was one of my children and then I saw that it was a little Chinese boy.  He started to cry.  It was the same as my children's cry.  My heart was filled with love and anticipation to hold the one sweet little boy that the Lord has given to us and to wipe away his tears.....because he cries just like Parker, Jenna, and Andrew.  I know that's really simple, not deep and profound, but that's where the Lord has me.
