Prayer for China!!

We just received an urgent prayer request from my sister-in-law Jessica. Wuhan, Joshua's birth city and her home away from home is experiencing serious flooding. Wuhan is a city surrounded by rivers and there is really no higher ground to flee to. Please say a special prayer of protection for Joshua's foster family and neighbors, especially little Bella who is awaiting her adoptive family. Also, for the safety of all the co-workers and families associated with Jessica's school. After viewing photos of the areas that we visited just 6 weeks ago, my heart aches for the people of Wuhan. May God show Himself sovereign through this disaster and open the local people's hearts to the Gospel. The following link contains pictures from the flooding in Wuhan.

Jessica is in Beijing doing Master's coursework and we PRAISE HIM for her safety.

Gammie and Grandpa Rick visit Part II

























(Look to the side bar on right for Part I)












Visit with Gammie and Grandpa Rick
















We enjoyed a relaxing visit with Gammie and Grandpa Rick this weekend. Of course, Joshua and Joy turned on the charm and warmed their hearts. We enjoyed a yummy lunch at Chick-fil-A (Thank you!) and enjoyed attending church together on Sunday. Joy went to the Dr. on Thursday and she was very pleased with her back's healing. She officially has "sprinkler privileges" and should be able to swim by the 4th of July weekend. We can't say thank you enough to all of you who have prayed for her over the last 8 weeks. We may have to call on you again in the future!! Joshua is going to the pediatrician this Thursday so we are hoping for no unexpected news.
