After approximately 15 hours on the two planes, we finally made it to Beijing.
I have to give praise to Him. He has answered so many of our prayers throughout this process; the most recent of which was calming my nerves so I could get on the planes and He did! I have been more calm this past week than I have been throughout the whole process. Both plane rides were unevenful. However the videos would not work on the plane from Washington to Beijing. The crew tried for three hours to get it to work and was unsuccessful. Thankfully, we had two DVD players, Madison's nintendo and other things to keep our minds occupied. Though, the last six hours of travel were the longest. The seats were extremely small and there was absolutely no leg room. It could have been a lot worse though, so I will stop complaining now.
Madison met a little friend - 10 month old china doll - who was sitting in front of her. She really enjoyed playing pee pie with her.
Unfortunately, we cannot connect to the internet in our room here in Biejing so I had to get on using the Business Center in the hotel. Rick is working on gaining access in the room and hopefully tomorrow night, after we get back from touring the Great Wall and the Forbidden city, we can post some photos.
We are all very exhausted - we couldn't get comfortable on the plane to get any rest. However, we took a little nap before dinner and are now ready to go to bed.
Just one day and a wake up day before we meet Jenna. Please continue to pray for safe travel (we have to take another plane ride to Jenna's Province Capitol Jiangxi on Monday) and for God to prepare her for our arrival. Madison is still bouncing off the walls with excitement!
I will post again tomorrow night after dinner.
Blessings, Teresa
