John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Sometimes the very simple verse has the most meaning. This verse popped in my head tonight as I sat down to write the blog for today. As we prepare to leave for Guangzhou to get their visas approved at the U.S. Consulate, I find myself very tired from the business of the week. Wow, what has happened this week has been amazing! I really cannot how the girls are feeling knowing this is the last night in the province until they visit China again.
We were surprised as we packed tonight that both girls did not want to keep anything that they came with on Gotcha Day. We kept the outfits on Gotcha Day of both Enoch and Lily for their keepsakes to have in the future. We are doing the same for the girls as they may not realize what treasures they came with that they might want to revisit in the years to come.
Today we had a lazy day. Autumn needed some new shoes so we went shopping for her shoes. We then watched Frozen and had lunch. After lunch we just lounged around and met with our guide to receive our notarized adoption paperwork. We went to dinner with our guide for the last time tonight. I will miss Lisa!
Tonight we got all packed up and communicated to the girls how to pack for security with carry-ons, etc. They are picking up English quite quickly. I think it is because they already learned the basics before the adoption through their exceptional education. Their boarding school was paid for by a local real estate company that apparently is very large. The education was top notch.
The next time I blog we will be in Guangzhou for our next adventure. Thank you for joining us on our adoption journey.
