We did some shopping, as I didn't have space to bring all of the "necessities". So very ready for baby girl!!!! We can play, eat, drink, bathe, and change diapers!!
Who writes stories like this??? Only GOD!! Met up with an amazing
couple who lives in this city this evening! We enjoyed fellowship, the
most delicious food, and absolutely fell in love with their precious
family! Then, we get back and they blessed our socks off more! We have
a goody bag with treats and toys... and homemade chocolate chip
cookies!!!!!! Seriously folks-God sighting!!
After dinner, we had this sweet mama drop us off at the end of walking street. It was AMAZING! There was so much shopping and activity and interesting sights. It was a mile walk back to our hotel and we were in search of the "only opened for a couple of weeks, illusive Starbucks". No one could tell us exactly where it was. What occurred next was one for the storybooks. We asked everyone, we retraced our steps, and Catherine... only Catherine... involved the Chinese swat team in the search. All of the locals stopped what they were doing to observe these crazy American women who dared to approach the Swat team (heavily armed and up on a stage) to ask for directions to Starbucks!! They ended up not having any idea, but were all smiles and helped make sure we knew how to get back to our hotel. Then, Catherine had the brainstorm to check at the KFC, if anyone should be able to help us, it would be another American franchise... right?? At first, he had no idea what we were asking. Then, I remembered I had a gift card in my purse. As soon as I showed him the logo, he set out down the street to direct us!! SUCCESS!!! We ended up there MULTIPLE times that week!!
Sweet baby girl is sleeping as an orphan for her last night!!!! She is Chosen and Dearly Loved and will be in my arms on your Sunday night!!
