Just a quick note to let you know where things stand. We received Maryn's passport yesterday so we are done everything required in Nanchang. We leave for the airport in about an hour and a half. Next stop ... Guanghou and processing for her visa.
Please continue to pray for Maryn's health. We are now in day 5 of diarrhea and it's starting to take it's toll. Last night she took over an hour to settle and go to sleep (and it was an unhappy hour). Then, she woke up at 4:30 this morning and cried for almost an hour before going back to sleep. We talked to the adoption agency rep at breakfast and she is trying to get in touch with the doctor here and already called the rep in Guanghou. If things don't change for the better quickly, Maryn may need to be taken to the hospital. To say the least, we're starting to get concerned. The other thing we don't know (at this point) is if her being sick will impact the immigration process and keep us from coming home on time. As you might expect, we need lots of prayer that this will not happen and that we'll be able to travel on Thursday.
Yesterday, we visited the only Buddist temple in Nanchang, followed by a "Christian" church down the street. It was quite a contrast in buildings (and focus). After that we went shopping for porcelyn (however you spell it). This area is where it was made for the emperors. After that, we and another family decided that we had enough chinese food for a few days and walked to Pizza Hut. We should have taken the taxi for 6 yuan (about 90 cents). It must have been 95 degrees and all involved (parents and kids) were rather hot. To end our outing, we took a taxi home. That was quite another experience. If you think things look bad from inside a bus, try sitting in the front of a taxi (the craziest drivers) about the size of a toyota corolla.
Will update you when we get to Guanghou.
