. . . . . . . . . . . . . China

So, our 17yo left on Friday for her 5 week trip to China. Keep her and the others (I believe she said there are 34 of them total) in your prayers. Due to the nature of their trip we will not hear from them often but we are trusting God to keep them safe and do a great work while they are there.

It was really busy around here getting to this point. She was gone to church camp for a week and then home working a week. Then off to a teen/tween retreat we did for our home school group at Lake West Point. The next day she was off to beginner camp as a CIT. Home again on Wednesday afternoon and then off for China on Friday. WOW!

She did call once she arrived in LA to say she left her sleeping bag at the security checkpoint in Atlanta. Hmmm... She was able to borrow an extra set of sheets another girl brought so that was good. Then her friend took this photo and text messaged it. She was lying on the floor at LAX waiting on their flight to Hong Kong. She looked none the worse for wear, at that point only about 36 hours into her trip. She was smiling and looked like she was having a great time.

So, the rest of us are just carrying on without Savannah's laugh and dry humor, waiting for the next 5 weeks to fly by!
