Team 2 arrived yesterday morning and have joined us this morning to meet with the kids. Last night we took Joseph and his wife, Jessie, out to Peking Duck to celebrate their marriage and my parents birthdays. It was really neat too look around the table and see both teams together, along with Joseph, our faithful guide. Our group is so incredibly blessed. I listened as team one shared their experiences with everyone and as team 2 shared their excitement of things to come. I remember being where they were three weeks ago. I remember the excitement of being in China for the first time and meeting the people. I remember meeting the kids and their families for the first time and growing to love them as much as my own family. It will be so difficult to say goodbye today as their parents pick them up and we take off to the airport. We are anxious to get home to our families, but sad to leave those we have grown to love behind. We leave the children and families in capable hand with team 2. Our time here is ending but many of us will leave part of our hearts here with those we have met. I am already looking forward to the next time I am able to come again.
My dad will continue to post some on this blog so please continue to follow the team and see how our Creator is working in China. We are thankful for our time here and even more thankful for those of you that have held us up in your thoughts.
See you soon.

As Lisa's mom, Kent and I have been able to come to China three times now and it is always a blessing. As our girls were growing up we always dreamed that someday we could do Dad's work together. It has been such a exciting answer to share this time with one of them. Words cannot describe the joy we have felt everyday. Janice
