A fun day in Chongqing

We have had a fun day sightseeing around the hotel. We found the McDonalds, the KFC, and the Starbucks. We are set for the rest of the week!

God had such a divine appointment for us this morning. Our facilitator came to our hotel again to have us sign more adoption documents. For the past several months my sweet quilting friends and I have made 6 large quilts for the children in Mason's foster family. I had tried and tried to make quilt labels for them with scriptures in Chinese, but I finally decided that I would just have someone here write the verses on the quilts for me. I asked our facilitator to write the verses for me, and she sweetly agreed. As she looked at the verses I had chosen for the quilts, ( John 3:16 and John 14:18), she asked me if they were religious writings. I told her that they were verses out of the Bible which is God's Word. She had to write each of the verses 6 times, and it took awhile. She told me that the people in China do not have much religion and she thought that most people needed that power. I was able to share with her that we all need the power of God in our lives. It was so sweet to watch her print those verses over and over. When she began, she had to look at each character. By the time she finished the 6th quilt, she was writing the verses from memory. We will be able to spend time with her everyday, and I am trusting that God will give us more opportunities to share with her.

We also were able to get the laptop safely plugged in and were able to talk to all of our children this morning. Molly really wasn't that interested in talking to us - she had just found a worm. At least we know she isn't missing us very much yet!
