Almost packed!

It is not easy to pack for five people considering that we will be two extreme weather zones. In Hohhot, average temperature at this time of year is -20 to 0 degree C. In Guangzhou, the temperature is about 60 - 80 C. Berthold and I spent the entire weekend to get all the essentials. I think we are 80% packed!
Toby and Josh are working hard to prepare for their mid term tests. We are so proud them on keeping their good grades. All A's so far!! Way to go, boys! Their little sister is also doing well in school. However, her favorite thing is swimming. Unfortunately we will have to miss some of her swimming meets.
We are all excited about going to China. The boys will take their computers and home work with them. Besides homework, they will also work with their Robotic team through internet on programming their robots. Their coaches and mentors are so understanding and encouraging on the situation. They will miss being there physically, but hopefully they can still contribute as much as usually do.
There have been some tragedies in school and in our communities. We pray for those who lost loved ones. We hope faith giving them strength and courage to deal with their difficult situations.
We also ask our friends and community to pray for us as we take our journey to bring Jenny home.
