Allright, I am taking orders. How many children do I come home with? These little girls are the most remarkable children. Put in your order now!!!!! (I really wish it was that easy!) All of the 13 children adopted in this groupp have all changed so much. It is neat to see what a little bit of love and attention can do. What an amazing baby the Lord has blessed us with! She has changed so much in the last few days! This morning she woke up with a smile! She is also letting Jeff hold her for minutes at a time...that is better than running away from him!!!! Right now she is talking to me. Her babbling has even changed!!!!!

Today, we went on a tour of the temple here in town. It was beautiful! At the top of the temple we got to see a show. People were dressed in traditional costume and sang and played traditional instruments. Very wonderful. Rebekah loved it! After the temple we went to another Chinese lunch! The food was really good!

We are still waiting for Rebekah's passport and visa. That should come through on Friday. Today the paperwork from the notary will be here. Jeff will go tonight to check it out and make sure everything is correct. There are so many people in this city working for us right now...unbelievable. We have officials doing paperwork, guides, laundry people, etc.....you would think we were some kind of famous person. The trip to the temple was interesting. We had a crowd of Chinese people following us all the time. I was able to talk with a man at one point. He couldn't understand why I wanted this baby! They all think americans are so nice....I think it is more than that! Someone bigger is in charge!!!! He knows what wonderful creatios He made and how they need mommies and daddies! and brothers and sisters....It is quite sad...everywhere you go you don't see very many children. In America you see more children than adults. Here, you see children more like every 5th adult.

Enough commentary....We are with some really neat people. Most of us are going to church on Easter together! Mary told us where to go! We are all looking forward to that! Tomorrow we will do some shopping!

Rebekah is havig a meltdown so must get going. Kids...I miss you terribly. Jan, I look forward to seeing you in the palm tree. Sherrie....I'm a Rebekah junkie too....Actually I watch a lot of adoption blogs...pretty amazing stories. I'm so blessed the Lord choose us to walk this journey. Thanks for reading all. Your comments are great.

Loads of Love
