On Saturday afternoon, I visited an orphanage not far from where we are staying. It was a beautiful facility run by Chrstns. It was so fun to see the kids and play with them a little bit.

Red and yellow, black and white...
...they are precious in His sight!
On another note, things have not gone as planned for our camp in Beijing. The little city where we were planning to be is shutting down to all non-residents as of Monday. SOOOO.... that has forced us to go in search of another location elsewhere. I feel like we are the children of Israel, always on the move. It is exciting tho to see how G has been working this past week in the whole situation. He has been completely in control and has drawn us closer to Him and each other as a team.
I am looking forward to the opportunity to see another part of China... but there will be a lot of things I will miss... like our little Dairy Queen, the welcoming gate in front of our hotel that is lit up with Christmas lights every night, the yummy chinese hole-in-the-wall restaurant that we always eat at with our little napkins in the cups at the table in the middle of the room, and the mops hanging on the wrought-iron fence outside the hotel. There are some other things I won't miss... like the mofia-type government that runs the city. :)
Please keep us in your prs in the coming weeks as we try to quickly prepare for arrival of volunteers next weekend and the beginning of camp! Thanks again for all your prs and emails... you don't know what an encouragement they are to me!
I love and miss you all!
