With grateful hearts for famly and friends,

With Grateful Hearts

With grateful hearts for family and friends, for those near to us and those who are near in our hearts. For hope and joy, and sorrow and struggles. For laughter and tears, and the songs that He gives along the way. But most of all for Jesus...the Author and Finisher of our faith. It is with grateful hearts that we share with you here.

Almost There...

This morning we had a nice breakfast with the Samuels, another family in our travel group, then we met with David to sign some paperwork which he took to the consulate in preparation for our oath appointment tomorrow. Early afternoon Mitch and Mitchell walked to the electronics market while Matthew and I took Faith to the playroom.





By the way, here is an assortment of the Pringles at the 7-Eleven behind the hotel...



YUM !!!

Then we took cabs downtown to a shopping area. It was an interesting experience. The stores are really, really tiny and there is just an incredible volume of people!!!! Mitchell got a watch and we got a few movies for about a dollar each.












We were talking to some other people here adopting and they have been sick... we have tried to be VERY careful with what we have eaten… almost there.

Tomorrow we head to the U.S. Consulate to take our oath and be on our way.... Hoooooorayyyy! Our flight from Guangzhou to Shanghai leaves tomorrow evening at 8pm. We get to Shanghai about 10pm.

Love to you all.
Miss you like crazy.

Thank you for the stories and pictures to keep us all updated. It's so nice to know how everyone is and what to pray for specifically. We're excited for you to come home and get back to your new normal.

Praying especially for the upcoming flights and for safety. Praise God that this part of the journey went well. We're excited for the new chapter to begin. Can't wait to meet Faith. We already love her.

Love to you all,

The Hepners
