This is going to be quick tonight because I am very tired and excited all at the same time. This is us leaving Beijing. We had only been up since 3:30 this morning. That expalins the look on our faces. We were very sad to leave our guide, Mark, he was great. But we were excited to head to Changsha because that put us closer to Clara Beth.
Once we arrived in Changsha, after a bumpy plane ride, we met Richard and he took us to a local store for water and other supplies. We had to have a whole case of water each for formula!!! Yes, we will need that tomorrow!!! I saw potato chip flavors you can not even imagine.
After our trip to the store we headed to KFC, yes, Kentucky Fried Chicken. My friends know how I feel about fried food, but after our visit to the second floor food court where our choices were: bullfrog, duck lips, steamed chicken feet, seared pork mouth or crab ovums the chicken from KFC was looking pretty good! But we had to cross this busy street to get there. The picture does not do it justice. You literally take your life into your hands when you step into traffic. You could be struck by a car, bike, bus or moped at any given moment!!!
This is us after our meal at KFC. Then it was back to the hotel(which is maginificant by the way) to get ready for tomorrow!!!!! Clara Beth's clothes and toys are laid out and ready for her and we are too!!! Pray for good rest for us all, it may be the last we have for a long time. Next time I post she'll be with us and yes, I am crying as I write this.............Until then

"Isn't God's work amazing?" This is a question Robin posted early on. No doubt you have your answer!!! God's work is not only amazing, it is awesome and powerful and wonderful.
Thank you for allowing us to follow you on your journey. We love you all and can not wait for you to get home safely in the comfort of 96 with your bundle of joy, Clara Beth.
Our prayers are with you and the other families.
