Crazy Day

What a wild and crazy day!!! We left the hotel at 9:20am for our 12 noon flight to Guangzhou, and when we got to the airport, our flight had been cancelled. So, they booked us on the 11:00 am flight, and it was 10:15am...OMG!!!! Needless to say, the four families traveling to our province were running to get to the gate, and thankfully everyone made it. What was to be a 2 hour 40 minute flight turned out to be a 6 hour flight. The pilot wasn't able to land in Guangzhou due to bad weather, so we were diverted to some Province in the middle of nowhere, about an hour outside of Guabgzhou...panic began to sink in!! We sat on the plane for about an hour, then we were allowed to turn around and fly back to GZ. Needless to say, all of the traveling families are exhausted tonight!! Our guide, Elsie, gave us the itinerary for Monday, June 29th - MIA DAY!!! We will meet our children at 2:00pm tomorrow afternoon (1:00am TN time Monday). Please remember Mia and me in your prayers that Mia will have an easy transition and that I will be able to comfort her and make her feel safe and loved.

Also, please remember my friends Tammy and Chris as you pray. They received their daughter, Ava, today and she is having a tough time...bless her little heart, she is so very sad. Tammy and Chris are in another Province, but will be back with us on Friday.

Sorry no pics today, but it has been a very long day today, and I am about to call it a night. FYI - the Great Wall was amazing, something you defintely have to see to believe.

Tomorrow is the big day, and I am so ready to meet my girl!! Finally, after waiting for over three years, I get to hold my sweet baby in my arms!! God is so very good!!!

Until next time, Peace and Grace to all!!
