don't hate us :-)

It's after midnight, we've had a busy day of travel, and we're pretty tired. Please forgive us for not posting photos today.

All is well....Ahna is showing us a little bit of her true self every day, and we are loving it. She is just precious.

Do pray for Eli. He woke with a fever today, has felt quite ill with a sore throat and body aches, and then got ill after the plane trip and vomited... He feels pretty rough.

We are starting to miss home, but are THANKFUL to be here, and are looking forward to exploring this even more southern area of China. Tomorrow we go for Ahna's medical exam, which puts us one step closer to meeting all of China's requirements.

Our love to you all. Thanks for reading and keeping up with us.

Get well soon, Eli!

Love, Your friend Betsy

(It's a wonder you all haven't had more illness...that's a lot of travel, unfamiliar food, and stress! We'll pray that you all get better and stay well for the rest of the trip!)

Get some rest so you can enjoy your last days in China and share them with us!!

Poor Eli! It's bad enough to be sick, but to be sick in China... that's horrible. We're praying for him.

But, I'm not gonna lie to you, we do kinda hate you for no pictures! If no one is gonna give us a TA, we need to live through you. So, could you get your act together and post some soon!

About the homesickness, that's what I am worried about, I just sent out a little prayer list letting people know how to pray for us (they have to start NOW for me). I just can't imagine being in China with people all around me speaking Chinese (the nerve of them!) I am a very nosey... ummm... I mean curious person so I need to know what people are saying. I am in big trouble, huh?

It won't be long! Your in the final stretch!
