Prayed that the smell wouldn't keep you from eating another day... you need your strength. I know God is wrapping his arms around both you and Paul as well as little Emme... do you feel it? :) We love you tonz and tonz. Hang in there!

Wow, can you believe your finally in China!!! I also hated the smell...we did a lot of KFC, McD's, and Pizza Hut it's not the same as home but it will keep you going until you get to the White Swan and then for American style food eat at Lucy's the BLT, and Hot Ham&Cheese are great. <BR/><BR/>Look forward to see you with sweet little Emme. Congratulations and try to enjoy your time in China.<BR/><BR/>Dee, Kailey and MyleeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198969513058968548.post-55885878174749019732008-09-06T16:08:00.000-04:002008-09-06T16:08:00.000-04:00Really?

Hehehe... actually, we just went into an Asian market the other day and we were immediately transported back to China. It made us super nostalgic and missing our girls' homeland. Hopefully, when your stomach settles, you'll look back with the same fondness!<BR/><BR/>(I'm not usually Pollyanna, but seriously, such good memories!)Tony and Retthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918069296531972978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198969513058968548.post-14916566591797997342008-09-06T15:27:00.000-04:002008-09-06T15:27:00.000-04:00April...

I know why no one told you about the smell -- it's because we all put it far out of our minds when we got back.. we never wanted to think about it again!!<BR/>I have something for you to feel better though - just be thankful that you have just a few short weeks to deal with the smells... imagine us when we were there having to deal with that for an entire year! :-) Hopefully.. my pain is your gain! <BR/><BR/>Just remember Emme is waiting - she will never remember this day like you will... however it will be the most important and influential day of her life! Thanks for being willing to travel so far to change the life of a precious little one! (It's Liz Wrigglesworth... does that sound like me?! :-)<BR/><BR/>Love you guys and praying for you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02102232822807781450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198969513058968548.post-79660206214961030622008-09-06T11:49:00.000-04:002008-09-06T11:49:00.000-04:00Hi,I am a friend of Rett's and we came home from C...Hi,<BR/>I am a friend of Rett's and we came home from China 3 months ago. Rett gave me your blog to follow. The smell doesn't get any better and either does the food but let me tell you the food tastes soooooo good when you get home. I lost 16 pounds on the trip but I think I have gained it all back. If you can find a Pizza Hut it is good and Papa Johns isn't too bad. It will be a little easier when you get in GZ.<BR/><BR/>Congratualtions on getting your precious child very soon. We brought home a 2 1/2 year old boy and he has brought so much joy to our lives.Chris and Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621079524278903715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198969513058968548.post-47875694949910229202008-09-06T10:58:00.000-04:002008-09-06T10:58:00.000-04:00You can add one more sending up prayers for you. ...You can add one more sending up prayers for you.

However I am praying every day very hard so i don't know what I will do when it is my day... maybe fast. :) I love hearing about your time in Beijing... thank you for making us feel like we are there with you. ( a little bit anyway) Know that prayers are surrounding you and little Emme.<BR/><BR/>We love you tonz and tonz.<BR/>Rachrachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791027819179148331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198969513058968548.post-90328354335172140282008-09-06T09:54:00.000-04:002008-09-06T09:54:00.000-04:00Hi April,Just be prepared, the smell doesn't go aw...Hi April,<BR/><BR/>Just be prepared, the smell doesn't go away until you leave...by the time you get to Guangzhou, you'll be ok with it but you won't miss it when you leave. Chongqing's smell was far worse than Beijing, so start praying and be mentally prepared for your province (sorry to give you bad news.)<BR/><BR/>"Frogger down the road," I can't think of a more perfect description of crossing streets in China!<BR/><BR/>Hope you are sleeping well!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>SharlaSharla M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06248810823104947450noreply@blogger.com
