Hi everyone! I have to say we are really enjoying the comments that you all are leaving. They are so encouraging to us. We are happy to report that Faith is still a “happy-go-lucky” kind of girl. She slept all night long, & only woke up once. I think she was dreaming. I woke up & held her and she went right back to sleep. She has the best personality. She smiles and jibber-jabber’s all the time! I can tell she loves to talk. Speaking of which, she loves a cell phone. She picks it up and says “Gway”…which is like “hello” in English. She also loves to dance!! Full of Life!!! Thank you God!!!

We went to the park today and a Temple. The park was very beautiful & the temple was one of the oldest in all of China. Very interesting & we had a great guide that explained everything to us. It was great & as most of you know….Matt loved every minute! (My little history buff!) I liked the monkeys that lived in the park! Amazing! They would come right up to you! We just had to watch where we stepped! LOL! We had a stroller for Faith and when we came back to the room, Matt said “Faith, is that you…PEE UUU!” She just smiled! After looking around the room, Matt found the smell. It was coming from the stroller wheels. YUK! Monkey Doo! I let Matt handle that.. LOL!!! ;0)

At dinner tonight, I told Matt I wondered if Faith’s foster family was watching from a distance today…waiting for us to come out of the hotel to check on her. I know they are missing her, because she is truly a Joy to be around. Tears came to both of our eyes as we thought about them. If you are reading this, Please, say a prayer for them tonight. I know their hearts are aching. We pray for healing for them & for Faith as well. Thank you for your prayers! We love you all!

B-Man and Lil Bit:
Great answers on the devotion questions the other day. You are exactly right that Jonah sinned because he was disobedient to God. That is a lesson that God teaches in this with Jonah. If God tells us to do something, then we must obey or we get disciplined just like Jonah. We are so proud of both of you and the way you are growing spiritually and your love for the Lord! It is so exciting to see!

Momma and Daddy have obeyed God, by going to get Baby Faith and he has blessed us and many other people because we were obedient. We pray that you will be obedient to God also. WE LOVE YOU!!!

OK, let’s talk about Noah. YEAH!!! You need to look in Genesis 6 to find the answers. Why was God sad with the world? Why did God choose Noah for this special mission? What did God tell him to do?
