I was struck with a deep sense of respect for Mr. Wong - the director of Catherine's orphanage in Qu Jiang (about two and half hours away from our hotel). Mr. Wong is pictured at left along with our in-country coordinator, Elsie. Mr. Wong was quick to let us know that Catherine developed a fever during the five hour drive (their bus broke down!) from the orphanage to Guanzhou and provided us with a combination of cold and fever medicines.

Catherine's adjustment to her new family is progressing well. She showed some signs of separation anxiety on our first night together, but she slept all night long. We've spent a lot of time together since Monday and she seems to genuinely enjoy the extra attention she's receiving. Catherine likes to touch our faces and even crawls over to one of us when she gets fussy. She is also eating and sleeping on a regular schedule.
Cheryl and I appreciate everyone's prayers. We feel like God is answering them.
I (Rich) am taking Truman and Andrew to Catherine's orphanage tomorrow to get a record of the surroundings for her future and to locate her finding spot at the Number 2. Middle School in Qu Jiang.

Hi, Kelly here! Fantastic!!! It is joyful to see you holding her. Truman looks elated. What a happy big brother. I'll bet Andrew is giving her lots of attention too! Cannot wait to see all of you home with your beautiful daughter.
