So we just landed in Moscow as we are heading to Kiev, Ukraine. We are only at a layover currently but enjoying internet at this time. It has been a great month in China, and I realize how much I loved being there. It is filled with many people who are loving and kind and need the Father. Our team helped with an orphanage that takes care of disabled children, whether that be cognitive or physical. As many of you know, my nephew has spina bifida (SB); and I was able to spend time with other children this month who have similar ailments. I do see how my family is blessed to be in the US where there are support groups and more awareness of how to work with SB. Please keep the children, especially the orphans of China in your thoughts. They are some of the most joyful and loving people I have met, and yet they still need our prayers.

We did have the chance to spend some time in the great city of Beijing after returning from Henan Province where we have been this month. Crazy how our 4 ½ hour train ride turned into a 6 hour ride due to some break downs. And then on top of that, we had to stand in a 3 hour line to catch a taxi. Originally we should have been at our hostel by10:30 PM but did not get there until 5 AM. Long travel day.

Need to go for now, but be looking for an upcoming blog as I will be sharing info about my return trip to the US, and our new month in the Ukraine. We are only 3 months away from completing this journey/pilgrimage, and am loving it.

Blessings and thanks for all your thoughts and support!
