Sunday, September 16th

Yay! The kids slept in a little bit!!! :)

We went to Shemian (sp?) Island today. Not really an island. ;)

We got to sit in on a church service but then time wise we had to leave to eat and then meet our guide again. We walked around and some guy came up and handed us all a little pamphlet and then we stood outside the church. Curt put our two bags we had on the ground and we were standing there and all of a sudden a women came over and grabbed our bags and motioned for us to follow her. Curt and I look at her like uh ok. He kept up with her and I was walking slower bc I had the kids! :) I was like oh no, if she is taking us a back way to the front of the church we are doomed! But we were in a building right next to the church that was "overflow" seating. Only a few people were sleeping... ;) but it was neat to see all the people there! It was mandarin and then someone was translating it in English. They had two services in the morning and one at night.

So we had to get up and leave after a while, plus we could see the kids were about ready to start a fight so we left before it happened!! Haha... They both Wanted to be on Curts lap and neither one of them was going to let the other win... So, time to leave... Plus we has to find someplace to eat and then meet Wensi at 1:30. We ended up at Subway. Which, the kids don't like. Atleast Ella ate the meat, but that was it! They came over to our spot and thought we were going to give them chips! We didn't bc they didn't eat, plus we are saving them for us for a snack tonight! :)

On the way to eat someone came up to us and said come to my shop it's right down here. We said maybe in a minute we need to eat. We decided to go back and actually glad we did! It's a couple with a little boy and they "know God", as she said. She held up her cross necklace and said we go to church right there. Which was the one we were at! :) curt got an instrument called a Calabash flute. The guy makes them! It's beautiful!!! Has a beautiful sound! We also bought this dudes cd! :) got a few other things and then she said ok you can pick out free necklace or bracelet, so I got a bracelet! :) she said thank you, you good customers! Their English was really good... Praying for this couple and boy that God continue to bless them!

Then back to the hotel... The kids are napping. Ella finally fell asleep! :)

Going to pearl market tomorrow after they get checked for their tb test. Wensi said I'm sure they will pass... :)

Did one last "load" of hand washing. I'm so OVER that!!! :) Thank you Jesus for washing machines and the fact I wasn't born before washing machines!!! :) hang drying, no problem I don't mind, but hand washing? No thank you! :)))

Not sure what we are going for supper...? Not sure where we will venture out too?

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
