Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. -Isaiah 43:5

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break.

Hi from Jenn

Greetings to everyone!! Thank you for all the great emails, prayers and thoughts! Eric has been doing all the great posts/pictures etc since he much better at the computer stuff then I am! I am just wanting to post a personal message to you all since I have deeply appreciated all the personal emails and encouragement! Emma is soooooo cute and each day we see more and more of her sweet, witty personality! She loves to imiatate me and Eric and she actually walked over to me from Eric and smiled. She still will not let me hold her or pick her up etc, Luckily, she has made a strong connection w/ Eric! Again, just wanted to say thanks, It has gotten much warmer here today and humid! As a group, we walked to another local park and really enjoyed seeing the local people i.e. the grandparents with the young children, people of all ages doing Tai chi or some other form of exercise, people fishing in very merky water, the amusement style rides and activities etc. Our definition of a lake differs greatly from the Chinese' definition. Everything here is a lake which here in China their lakes are man made ponds! Eric will post pictures and more details later this evening! Thanks again and God Bless, Jenn, Eric and Emma :)

It is great to hear a post from you Jenn and that Emma is warming up to you more and more. It has been fun to see the pictures and hear about what you are doing. I hope you enjoy Gaungzhou also. Leah
