Today felt like a long day. We slept in and had breakfast late. Then we went and saw a tomb of a king from around 220 BC. We were able to walk inside the tomb and even touch the walls. We were just trying to kill time. Came back to the hotel for lunch and a walk around the Island. Then picked up FuMei's visa at 5:00 and had our last Chinese meal at a local restaurant.
We are back in the room now trying to calm FuMei down. She is very hyper this evening, laughing and playing with Andrew. She asked me today if she could sleep in the bed with me. I think she's feeling a little insecure as we prepare to leave in the morning. She also asked if she was coming with us. So pray for her last night in China. She doesn't seem bothered right now by that fact.
We ask for your prayers tonight for our health. James has a fever of 101 degrees. He woke this morning with a sore throat, but that went away right after breakfast and he came down with this fever tonight. He says he doesn't have any other symptoms. But traveling through airports not feeling well is not fun. Please pray with us that the fever will subside over night, and that no-one else will get one.
We must be out the door tomorrow at 6:45am. It will be a long day of travel. But we are looking forward to being in the plane on the way. This will be our last update until we are safe in our home! Thank you for praying us this far. We still can't believe how it has gone and look forward to the days at home as a new family. Blessings, Lynn
Keeping you close in thought and prayer for your safe travel. Thank you for keep up your blog. It has become my nightly routine to check the latest updates. I've enjoyed hearing about your adventures and family updates. Will you keep it going when you are back in Denver? I hope so.

You probably won't see this until you get home. We're praying for your family, that James is better, no-one else gets sick, and FuMei's last day in China. What a exciting time you have had.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels.
Love, Mom
Praying for health! My heart is aching for FuMei and praying that leaving her birth country will not be overwhelming for her. I was teary eyed at her asking if she was going with you. So much uncertainty for a young one. Praying that the peace of God will transcend all understanding. Hugs and blessings.
