Jiangxi Province

Thursday, April 26 - Well, after almost 3 years, Sarah Hope is Back in Jiangxi!
She seems to be excited. We were beginning to wonder if we would ever leave Shanghai. After seeing Kim off, we find out our plane is delayed. We know it will be awhile (ends up being 5 hours) because they take us to a hotel to rest. Sarah Hope and Jonathan got their naps. Dwain and Anna Brooke got us some snacks, we missed lunch due to the delays. Not a very clean place. Something in the place tore up my allergies. Hopefully we didn’t catch any thing there. We finally head to Nanchang around 3:30. Sissi met us at the airport. She is our facilator from our first trip. It is so good to see her again. She is amazed how LianLian (Sarah Hope) has grown. She comments how beautiful she is. It doesn’t take her long to also find out how loud she is. Sissi also says, “I think she is a little strong-willed also.) LITTLE? That’s the understatement of the year! :) Sissi told us we go to Fengcheng Orphanage tomorrow and that there will be a surprise! Sissi also had the girls some gifts hid in the room…. Beautiful dresses and sandals! How sweet!!

More to come...

Hi Dwain, Heidi, Anna Brooke, Sarah Hope and Jonathan,
We certainly miss all of you and Anna Brooke, our Sunday class just isn't the same without you! Ethan was looking for Jonathan on Sunday and he is wondering where Dwain is with that four-wheeler?! We are keeping you in our thoughts, especially at Ethan's bedtime. Looking forward to seeing you home in a few weeks.
Much love,
julie, kevin and ethan
