Hope everyone has a great time at church today. We didn't get to go to a church today. We went to a family temple (not a buddahist temple) turned museum. It was interesting. I was able to buy some original artwork painted on silk. It was a very reasonable price and they packaged it so I can get it home safely. Then we went to the Friendship Store for groceries. I stayed on the bus because Libby was napping.

The rest of the day is free. But we've just been hanging out in the hotel room. I think we're going to a Japanese Steak House for dinner tonight.

A couple of prayer requests:

1. I (Cindy) have a tickle in my chest and I am doing everything I can to avoid getting sick. Please pray for perfect health for all three of us as we approach our last days and travels days ahead.

2. An opportunity has come up for the dads to go see our girls' orphanages and finding places. This is a priceless opportunity. The dads will be able to video the girls' home town (Xu Wen) and see their orphanage and possibly visit the sites where the girls were found. However, to get to Xu Wen it will take an 8 hour drive one way and our guides are not sure about the condition of the roads. Once they arrive they will see the orphanage and finding sites in about 2 hours time and then drive another 8 hours back. This will be a LONG day for these dads. Please pray for their safety and energy. And pray that they will be able to photograph and video as much as possible. Our batteries are not charging well, so I'm praying they miraculously last longer than they have been - long enough for the 18 hour trip. Billy and the other dads leave at 6:30AM Tuesday - which is Monday evening for you all. They won't return until around 2AM Wednesday which is Tuesday afternoon for you.

Thanks again for all your prayers!! We are doing GREAT!

Love,

The Footes
