We've Arrived!

Thank you Fort Wayne Airport!
Thanks for all of your prayers! We have arrived safely as of 11PM on Monday night (that would be 11AM on Monday morning, EST). All of our luggage arrived safely and intact. Actually, more safely and more intact than we had ever expected...


新疆面!
On Tuesday morning (from here on out, I will be talking in Chinese time), we had to head out early for a health check. Thankfully we had all our paperwork from our American health check, so we only had to get our blood drawn. (That means that we didn't have any traumatic experiences peeing in a cup like the first year....) Then we went out to our favorite noodle place at 10:30 in the morning to eat brunch, since we weren't allowed to eat before the health check. Though I assure you, this meal was worth the wait!





Hot Pot
The past few days have been filled with waking up early (gotta love those 3AM mornings), unpacking, situating ourselves in our new apartment, and visiting old friends.  And let's not forget eating good food and baking bread.



We have heard a lot of 欢迎你回来/huān yíng nǐ huí lái welcome backs, and people have told us they are happy we have returned to China. Though it was hard to bid farewell to our family and friends back home, we are so glad to be back with our family and friends here. We trust that this is not just the jittery excitement of a honeymoon stage, but rather a joy that springs from following the Father's will.
