The Beginning of this Journey...

The Lord began this journey towards our second adoption about 1 year ago. He put on our hearts to sponsor Kay - at Harmony Outreach and we did. When i first saw her, i fell in love with her and prayed for her to join our family. It wasn't until May 2008 that the Lord began to use her to open our hearts to adoption again. That was when we had John Bentley from Harmony Outreach (her foster program) staying with us and he told us that Kay was ready to be adopted internationally. We prayed about her and began the adoption process again. Unfortunately, it wasn't in God's plan for her to join our family but He did use her to open our hearts up to adoption again and we are excited to see where He takes us. We are Trusting in Him.

The Lord has brought Maylynn into our lives and hearts on Nov. 21st (that is when we received her referral). We are excited to see Him bring her home to us. Please pray for the rest of our journey. We can't wait to bring Maylynn home...

Nanning July 25th

Thanks for the P's!  I feel much better!!  Just jet lag stuff.  We went swimming in the hotel pool - it's outside and just the temp. that i love!  We swam for about an hour - it was very relaxing! 
 
We met David (Melissa - did you guys have him as your guide?), he's great! He took us to McD's as we hadn't eaten anything for a loooong time -can't remember when we had a meal last... it tasted good - David thought it was funny that i ordered a happy meal -but i wanted to toy for Maylynn:) Then we ventured to Walmart to get some water, snacks and candy to take to the village tomorrow.
 
I am so excited - we get to go to the countryside! Please pr-y for no rain! The clouds looked threatening but no drops;)  The weather here reminds us of Hawaii - very hot and humid. There are even palm trees and banyan trees like the ones we saw in Maui last summer. Anyway, around 10am we will be heading out in the wonderful airconditioned van - love the van!! It's very similar to the one's at PHF and Harmony House.
 
After Wally world, we walked around the downtown area and also walked down to the park and saw the river filled with houseboats - the families live in them year round.

People's Park in NanNing....I think I could just sit there for hours listening to the music and watching the people. We loved it there!
