What a day yesterday was! We had breakfast and then packed up our things. Miss Priss had some pretty yucky diapers (sorry if that's tmi) but Yisha sent Vivian to the store to get her some Chinese medicine and so far so good! We all received our passports, all 11 babies got theirs! Thanks for all the prayers we were worried that 3 of the babies would have to stay longer but God is good! We played around outside some and fed Emery lunch before we left! It was finally time to leave for the airport. Yisha took the men to the ticket counter and took care of luggage and tickets and the moms and babies just waited to the side! CCAI rocks and has this process down to a science, at least so far! They even went to security with us and saw us off! We all cried saying goodbye to Yisha, she really loved Emery! And she was so good to us! But hopefully we will be able to email her and stay in touch! We finally got on the plane and headed here! Emery did pretty good, she never went to sleep, she "wallered" us to death, but all in all she was good! We landed, got our luggage and met our new guides Maggie and Jason! Their English is very good. We got to the bus and headed to the hotel, about a 50 minute ride, well guess what, yep the bus broke down! There's about 25 of us and 11 babies and it is HOT! Babies are hot and tired, we don't have very many supplies and we are stuck. It happen to be at a u-turn spot also. So we had traffic blocked, there was a wreck right beside us, big trucks and buses trying to do u- turns, it was crazy! Jason called and got a van fairly quick that took some of the moms and babies. Emery had been asleep so we just waited! But of course she woke up so we just let her run on the bus! Finally another bus got to sand we had to get out in the traffic to get on the new one! The police never did anything to help. One just stood over in the middle of the road and paid us no attention! So we finally made it to the hotel! It is VERY nice and there is a Starbucks here and a McDonald! We were tired, hungry, stinky and ready for bed! I stayed in the room to give Emery a bath and get her ready for bed and Tony went to get dinner. Well he got propositioned going to McDonalds! Lol! The lady came up to him with a card and said "you lady leave you behind, you call me!". Lol! S finally we got to eat, shower and collapse! She did great. We let her fall asleep with us and then I out her in the port a crib and she slept all night! She really has done great! For there to be so much "new" in her life, she has been a trooper! So today we are dropping off laundry, getting her visa picture made, getting her physical and going to the pearl market this afternoon and then a group dinner! We actually have 3 more families joining us today! Please pray all goes well for everyone today and I will try to update tonight and add pictures! Of course I have new ones! Thanks for all the prayers for us, please keep them coming!
Hugs and love to all!
Love, Renee
