well, our rain finally came in torrents this morning, but, seriously that didn't make my decision to have a rest day today, and here it is in the afternoon and not raining at all. I sent the kids to play and took a nice long nap. Its been so fun to be with Gerrit again(former exchange student)he and Rachel have been hanging out at night, when fuddy duddy sleeps. So.....a prayer for us tomarrow. We pick up our car and head for the country side.I was reading though this a.m. and it says we need an international drivers licence which we don't have. So maybe we won't be driving??Well, off to check out the gardens out in back of our hostel, were in a lovely park full of soccer fields and lots of walks.Love to you all.
new babies at the starfish house
This morning, Amanda de Lange and a handful of volunteers, went to what we call the “Big O” in Xi’An China (otherwise known as the main orphanage) to see if there were any babies she could take back to her foster home. You see, Amanda doesn’t go looking for the cutest, healthiest babies they have. She goes with eyes and heart open to find the sickest, neediest babies in the orphanage. The babies who are not likely to receive the kind of necessary attention they need just to survive their first few months. Out of all of China’s unwanted ones, she seeks out those who need her the most. That’s why I love this picture so much. This morning, these babies were just seven of many at the orphanage, but not anymore. From here on out these babies will receive round the clock love and attention, nutrition, medical care and almost rock-star like status among Amanda’s fans and supporters all around the world. Once they have been nursed back to health, Amanda does what the orphanage often does...
GLad you got a little rest!
