Goodbyes, Hope and Heartbreak

This morning we are packing up the rest of our gifts and donation and heading to the orphanage for a birthday party for everyone. The school children will be there for the first time. The orphans that they think can handle it go to a boarding school. That's why everyone left here is young or has serious needs.

We are heading out this morning with two big bags of crafts a new walker and a new stroller that we bought yesterday. After a bout of something truely evil in my stomach last night, I think I'm ready to go. I wasn't going to miss this!

The prayer today comes in more for us than for the children. We are leaving them in a much better place than we had ever dreamed with all the nursing students and the church members. The prolem is that saying goodbye is going to tear out our hearts. Please pray that we don't make fools of ourselves and that we can trust our Father to take care of them. I can hardly bear the thought that I may never see Wai Wai again. I took him up to Robin who has talked with his wife adoption and showed him what a beautiful boy he is. Robin agreed. I'm praying that God gives Christian homes to Wai Wai, Jo Jo, Isaac, Jesus, Tao Tao, Yong Yong...

Well I need to go. Off to leave part of my heart in China.
