Chrissy, Mia and I (Tommy) are in LAX waiting to board China Eastern to Beijing. So far, so good. It all seems surreal and is very different than when we traveled to get Mia. Not better or worse, just different.
A big thanks to Brent and Leah, who sent us off at the airport at 6:15 this morning. We are so appreciative of all that our family and friends (f/f) have done for us this past week. Taking the entire family has been a challenge....both financially and in getting ready. But this week, we received 3 checks from f/f that have allowed us to relax and enjoy the trip. Thank you so much!! We are very grateful to friends at the Well who have supported us financially and spiritually. The Well Bible Church rocks!
Others have helped by taking care of the kids so we could pack and by lending us travel supplies. We are hoping that our kids will have an experience of a lifetime and remember our visits to the "least of these." Who knows what God has planned for them but I suspect these travels are a part of the preparation.
The next time we check in, it will be from Beijing. Pictures from Harmony Outreach will follow soon. We miss you Mom and Madeline and will see you on Sunday.
Mia, Chrissy, Tommy
