So excited to see you in China, although it looks like we won't see you until Guangzhou! This week is going to be a busy one! :)

How exciting! Good luck, and good health to you. Your Gotcha day is also Eric's birthday; fantastic day to bring your new daughter into your family! - Eric & Megan
ReplyDeletePraying here for you- for strength and health, provision and protection as you go. Try to get as much rest now as you can...I know- sounds impossible but try to if you can. Will you still be on antibiotics while traveling? It might be better if you are rather than possibly having a setback so far from home. Take care and sleep, sleep sleep! Can't wait to follow along!
ReplyDeleteI am SOOOOOOO excited for you guys!!! Can't believe it's been 2+ years since we were there.
ReplyDeleteBlessings on your journey Lisa! I am so excited for you! Can't wait to follow along!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you all. I look forward to follow your blog.
