Back to China



Joanna and I had to say good-bye to Yvonne early and it was so difficult to do! (Jo and I are in Louisiana... more on that later)
Yvonne flew out of Norfolk Airport this morning.

I woke her up as I left at 2:45 Friday morning and she begged me to stay. This child is so precious. She is VERY hungry for the things of God! The talks she and Joanna had made my heart dance. [Especially the confirmation that Joanna actually HAS been listening all this time. What an evangelist!]

We finally located a Chinese Baptist church - a half mile from our home!. My DH, Jay, brought her to meet the pastor yesterday and he gave her her own bible (in Chinese) and some other things to read. Jay said she read them every moment she got.

Please pray for Yvonne's faith. She is "ripe for the picking" and there are many religions in China that will vy for her attention. Pray the Lord woos her parents as well. They have emailed us, and have nothing but wonderful things to say about her experience here. We are praying that the door to this family remains open!!
