Friday, July 24th


After traveling for about 24 hours, we finally made it to PHF in Langfang, China! All 60 pieces of luggage made it as well - a true miracle! Nobody got quarantined and we moved through customs very easily. I went to bed around 10pm Beijing time and woke up the next morning feeling very refreshed - very little jet lag. This morning we took a tour of the whole facility. The tour was led by Clay and Jewel Floch, members of our church who just moved to China 5 weeks ago to work at PHF. The facility here is very beautiful as are our accomodations. At the end of the tour, we went into one of the houses where the children live. This one little boy, maybe about a year old caught my eye and I just had to pick him up. After a couple of minutes. the tour was moving on, so I put him down. He just kept looking at me, so I picked him up again and played with him for a while. Then we went to the clinic, which is kind of like a hospital here on the site and played with some of the kids there. It will be hard to leave them here when we go. Don't worry Shawn, I don't have any plans yet to pack one in my suitcase! Well now I'm off to the Beijing Wal Mart to get a few VBS supplies!
