Today was yet again another day of busy sight seeing. We started our day at the Beijing International Christian Fellowship Church. The message was awesome and so fitting. It spoke about fear and anxitey. What adoptive parent does not have either of these the day before you meet your child? After church everyone commented on how they were in awe of the timing of the message.
When church was over we headed to the Olympic Park. This was under construction when we came at the end of 2007. It was great to see it up close and see its beauty. Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City was very busy. It is a huge area and I think it took us three hours to cover both places. The air quality was amazing today. You could see for quite a ways in to the distance. It was also warmer than the other two days.
The pearl factory was very nice. Taylor loved it. She used some of her spending money to buy some items. She probably could have used all of it there but we needed to remind her that she still has two weeks to go. I feel like all we do right now is eat. We eat as a group as it is included in our tour package for Beijing. We have like pretty much everything so far. Wonder what our province will be like. We will find out tomorrow!
We have to wake up at 3:30 to start our day. We need to be in the lobby to go to the airport at 5:30 am. We will meet Evan tomorrow afternoon, we are not sure of the time. So we are of to pack and try to sleep. Please keep all of us in your prayers.
Noah, Kera and Lia, we love and miss you very much. Tomorrow you will meet your new brother! :) Be good for Michele!
Bob, Cheri and Taylor
