Is this real...or is this really China?

We made it!
"To God be the glory..."
We have made it to China and then on to Hong Kong...this is the first opportunity that we have had to post. After 36 hours of traveling, there is new meaning for the word "exhaustion" in our vocabulary...

Red Class: Sam is THE BEST world traveler that any of us has ever seen. He has been amazing and he is running circles around us. The country of China is really modern, somewhat industrial, and full of friendly people. Our group is definitely an odd thing to see here. We have some great pics and tons of stuff to share but it will have to wait until we sleep (in a real bed and not on a plane!)
We love you all and thank you for your thoughts, well wishes and prayers.

Bob, Roberta, Sam, Nancy, Al, Dwight and Rosalie

We are so glad you made it safely! It sounds like Sam is a real pro at this traveling thing! Keep us posted when have a spare moment. I know there aren't many of those with so much to see, in so little time. We can't wait to see your sweet boys in your arms, right where they belong!

We are praying for your family and your boys! Here's a verse from this week that I wanted to share with you.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)
Love, Melissa

I posted earlier but I didn't see it. I am glad that everyone arrived safely. I know that you guys are tired, but it will be well worth it once you have the boys.... Be safe and I'll write later.

Love you.. Kelly L.
