Meet Grace!

Hello Friends!

Thanks for your prayers...meet Grace!

It has been a blessed day for sure and so amazing! God answered our prayer for peace and assurance for Grace as she was brought to us and we were able to assume care of her. She held onto me and was content to just sit on my lap. She did not act afraid at all but was not very expressive either. She was just completely chilled! After leaving the Civil Affairs Office we went straight to the equivalent of Walmart. Yes... that is where our guide took us. We were able to get any additional things we might need to take care of her. Grace did awesome! 

   

Once we arrived at the hotel, David had to complete some paperwork while I got to stay and play with her. We read and ate snacks and she is already beginning to learn the sign for more! She likes to eat! Then, we went to a local Chinese restaurant and that girl ate some rice. I must admit it was the cutest thing watching her eat. She knew exactly what to do and did not want a grain of rice to fall on the table. (Hoping she can teach my boys a few table manners! :)

    

She fell asleep in my arms tonight while I sang some of my favorite worship songs. What a blessing! So thankful for this sweet girl and the way God made her. Praying for great appointments at the Civil Affairs Office tomorrow and for continued great bonding. That she would open up to us and begin expressing herself even if it means crying!

   

Excited for the next 9 days and looking forward to bringing her home to our boys, family, and friends. 

 So thankful for each of you and love you!
