Catching Up

We took Catherine to the clinic on the 21st and learned that she has an ear infection along with an upper respiratory infection. We have antibiotics and some medicine to help clear up the congestion, but she seems to be in a lot of discomfort today and its hard to tell whether it's from teething, ear trouble, or something else. Please pray that Catherine will make a turn for the better before catching our flight home on Wednesday (day after tomorrow).

However, Catherine was feeling well enough to participate in the group picture taking yesterday. She seemed very comfortable out of our arms as the girls gathered on the well known red couch for a group photo.

We attended a packed Christian worship service within walking distance of the hotel yesterday. We were all very much moved and grateful to have the opportunity to join our Chinese brothers and sisters in Christ in singing "Our God is an Awesome God" and other songs of worship. We took some video of the service that we hope to make available to everyone over the web very soon. We were thrilled with the service's focus on Christ and the biblical preaching. One Asain woman gave her testimony of how she came to faith in Christ following the sermon. I was so impressed with the Chinese pastor's joyful way of communicating the life changing message of the Bible.

Cheryl and Andrew are off to the Guangzhou Zoo today while Truman and I take care of Catherine at the hotel. Our flight home on the 26th has been confirmed, all we need now is Catherine's entry visa into the states which we should received in the early afternoon on the 26th as well. We appreciate your prayers for our health and for all to go well with the entry visa. Thanks.
