God is good. :)

Today was another good day.  Very relaxed and laid back.  Tomorrow we leave Nanjing.  I'll be sad to leave our guide, Min.  She is awesome and very personal.
Today our guide called our friend that Brian and I met on the airplane from Beijing to here, Nanjing.  I wrote about her in an earlier post.  Well, Min called her and asked if she would like to see us again, and she did.  So, the girl we met came to our hotel!  Our guide/translator came down here and we were able to talk a lot.  It's so amazing to Brian and I how God puts things like this together.  It wasn't by chance that we sat together on an airplane, talked and instanlty connected.  I told Brian it makes me wonder what God is up too. Our friend kept saying she wants us to come back to China, and she be our guide.  She promised to work on her English and be able to speak it very well when we come back. :)  She brought us a gift.  Our guide told us her gift was a very big deal, and something VerY special.  It is a jade looking stone that came from Tibet.  It has a seal on it that was placed there by the head....uh, shoot, I can't remember!  All I know is this thing is a big deal, and very special.  This was very, very nice.  When it was time for her to leave she was about to cry.  She said she still wants to see us again.  How special is it to come to another country and become connected to someone we can hardly even communicate with!!!  God just amazes me!  We feel so Blessed that we were able to meet this girl and become friends with her.  We now have her address, phone number and email, so we will all be able to keep in contact.  It just floors me how this all worked out.  I just can't describe how happy Brian and I were to be able to see her again.
As for Miss Alli Ying....she is still doing great.  She's already becoming rotten! :)  She is so sweet and happy and we are amazed at how she seems to be adjusting to us.  She is very much a "routine" baby.  I'm sure thata comes from being in an institute.  She really seems to be a happy little girl. Today she gave me lots of kisses, then she would look at Brian.  Granny & Grumpy sent us some Oreo's.  Grumpy said he wanted us to start her off right....so Brian gave her one today.  She was funny.  I had to change her clothes after she had it.  We got pictures of her first "Oreo Face." lol  Too cute!
We went shopping in a few shops today.  Our guide went with us to help us bargain.  By the time we left she said she was going to start taking Brian with her....he was the king at bargaining with these people! LOL   I told her back in America it's called "being cheap!" LOL  Brian had a lot of fun with that and talking the people down.  We did get some good deals on a few things for the kids. :)
We leave here tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully I can download tons of pictures tomorrow.  I know you all are eager to see Miss Alli.  Love to you all.
Amanda & Brian
