About Hannah...

Our little Hannah is 11 years old and lives in a social welfare institute in southern China. She has been there since she was two weeks old. As far as Chinese orphanages go, this is a nicer one. There is a group of Americans that have adopted children from there over the years and they raise money to hire "aunties" to help take care of the children. They are trained to help stimulate and nurture the children, especially the babies. In Nov. a group of these families went over for a reunion and someone took lots of pictures and wrote about the trip in a blog,zhangjiang2010.word press.com. I am truly blessed to see so many photos of our little girl,I can't post them yet, but as soon as I can, I will. Our big chunk of paperwork is already in China and we are waiting to (joyfully) jump through a few more hoops before we travel, hopefully late May or June.

Meanwhile, life on the home front is, as I sometimes say, "In the blender". Mother has been in the hospital now for over a week with little improvement, although today I think she is turning the corner. Please pray for her, and for my sister and I as we travel this journey together. We know that God is in total control, and that He works all things together for good for those who love Him. I feel stronger today as I remember those words.

I love the life that God has given me and I love watching Him work in and through lives around me.

In Christ,
Sissy
