- We may officially be over our jet-lag. All of us woke up around 7:30 AM this
morning. Can’t wait to do this all again
in a few days time, but it is nice having some energy during the day now.
- We did more laundry today. Instead of draping it through our room like last time, Matt made a spider’s web in the bathroom. All of the clothesline is anchored by one hook on the wall. We’re hopeful that it doesn’t rip out of the wall with all of the weight we are putting on it!
- Trip to Guangzhou Zoo.
We rented a stroller from the hotel for $3.50. Worth every penny! The zoo seemed to be about the size of the
Lincoln Park Zoo, but all of the exhibits were outside. It was VERY hot and humid today. Micah really enjoyed the elephants and the
giraffes the most. We even got to
hand-feed the giraffes leaves for about $4.
Well worth it!
- Micah took a nap!
He seems to be on a 1-nap-every-3-days schedule right now.
- We did not get a phone call from Holt today. That apparently means that our TB blood test
came back negative and that there are no other medical reasons holding us up
from leaving on time.
- We went to the "park" by our hotel tonight with
a family we met in Shanghai. The park is
huge and makes you feel like you are in a jungle even though you are in the
middle of the city. Micah and Fay fed
the Koi fish. They also got to play a
little bit on some playground-type equipment.
Side note ... women here seem to wear high heels everywhere ... to the
zoo, to the airport, and tonight even on the exercise equipment at the park!
- We made it out of the park just before a huge downpour of rain. We decided to eat at "Food Street" (Chinese food) again inside our hotel. This time we got to eat with Bill, Mary, and their 3 kids. We had a really nice dinner with them and then went across the street for McDonald's ice cream. Micah really seemed to enjoy being around other kids his own age.
- We’re babysitting for Bill and Mary tomorrow morning. Pray that our time with them will go well and
they’ll fare well until their mom, dad, and brother get back from the U.S.
Consulate.
- Continue to pray for Deanna. She had a pretty good day today, but she is
facing another severe headache tonight.
- We’ve been told there are many “dirty women” that roam the
streets outside our hotel at night. We
haven’t been out late enough to see any yet.
Pray though that these women would realize the sin that they are living
in and come to know and hope in Jesus as their Savior.
- Pray that the local church here in Guangzhou would continue
to attract new believers and raise up men and women of faith here.
