Guess what??????

I'm going to CHINA! I can't believe it. No, we don't have our referral yet (and won't for probably another 18-20 months, but I'll be going to China this July (July 22-Aug 2). I'm going with a team from Lakeland, to visit the area where our school will be built...and to help reach more of the unreached people.

I'm totally excited! The trip will be part tourist-fun (Great Wall, Forbidden City, etc) and part rigorous missions stuff (hiking up and over mountains, sleeping on floors in dirt huts, etc). I'm thrilled to see and experience any/all of it!

It will be so good to just be in my next baby's homeland. I'm going to miss Troy & the kids like crazy, but he is being so sweet in letting me go. I know he wants to go too. I'm going to take tons of pictures and try to remember everything I see so I can tell him all about it.

And then, of course, we'll be headed back TOGETHER in 2008 -- to get our baby! :)
