Sorry I haven't updated in so long. Things have been going slowly.
But we got our travel approval, and we are leaving for China in six days!! Finally, after all this time. We're going to get up early and leave Friday the 14th. Thankfully we found a travel agency that hooked us up with flights straight out of Alexandria and straight to Guangzhou. With, of course, a few stops on the way.
Mom has been coughing pretty badly for the past week or so, and we received notice that the Chinese are now watching for coughing people as well as people with fevers. Some sort of illness that's going on over there is spread by coughing. So Mom's going to the doctor Monday. Pray that it goes away.
Our bags are halfway packed; we've bought endless snacks, tissues, germ-x---you name it, we have it. I'm having to learn what it means to pack light. I have this tiny suitcase, (Well, by my standards it's tiny) and I'm expected to put two weeks worth of supplies in that tiny thing? I keep looking at it and thinking, "How? How?" But I will just have to learn to pack sparingly, I guess.
We'll bring our camera and take lots of pictures. Hopefully blogspot will work; I heard some rumors that it was blocked in China, but I don't know if that's true or not.
Please pray for our safety, and that we won't be delayed by anything.
We are so excited!!
Tori
