China Team PHF - Monday

It's Monday morning and we will being meeting shortly for a brief devotional before going to be with the children. We are all doing great and having a wonderful time.

After our arrival Saturday night (at about midnight), we hit the sack but didn't all exactly sleep. However, we started out Saturday by having a tour of the facilities and immediately started playing with the children. Wow, I wish you could have seen us. The team was scattered across all of the buildings here, but everyone was in the floor or had a child on their arms. The children, despite of their medical issues are so full of life and ready to engage visitors.

Yesterday, we went to church in Beijing, had lunch at KFC, visited the Temple of Heaven and shopped. We were a bit exhausted at the end, but had a wonderful time. We'll try to post again soon to tell more about our adventure, but please be patient, the computer is down a lot.

Thanks for praying for us. Please continue to pray especially for children. They are truly special gifts from God.
