We hear you’ve been waiting for a post…..

After packing and a quick breakfast, we checked out of our hotel at 7:20 and met Zhou and our driver for the 90 minute drive to New Day, which is on the [...]


Words cannot the last hour – all that we can say right now is that our entire family is blessed beyond compare!
It’s 11:00am and we’re closing in on the Beijing Airport for our flight to Zhengzhou. We’ll check back in once we have decent access.
Love,
Tami, Andy & Lydia
