We are in Beijing!!

We made it!!!!  Yay!
First & foremost I have to say that we've been trying & trying to blog but have had numerous problems with our laptop, my camera, & then with the internet here.....
Apparently blogger is blocked in China & my wonderful new friend (who along with her husband, just adopted a sweet daughter from here a few weeks ago) informed me & helped to set up our blog from the states.
We are all doing well!  Everyone is healthy & happy!  (apart from Addalie's jet lag=3am awakenings!)
Yesterday we were at the Great Wall!  AMAZING!
 
We have our first orientation in a few minutes but I look forward to posting pictures & filling you all in on all of the things that we've been experiencing so far. 
 
THANK YOU all for your prayers.  We feel as we are being "lifted up".

So happy to hear that you are there!!! As I was praying for you during our night....I prayed and prayed and just felt anxious and the Lord impressed on my heart that you were fine. That He is right there with you in China and that He is holding you as safely as if you were just in your kitchen in Strasburg. My heart felt peace.
THE GREAT WALL!! WOW!
Praying for you all.
