HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!
We spent the day at Shamian Island. It was a great day for shopping, laundry services and eating but the best part of the day was going to Church. We attended the Mandarin/English Service. It was unbelievable. I wasn't sure what to expect. As soon as we starting singing the first song, How Great is Our God, tears started flowing and I couldn't hold them back. Just thinking we are in a huge crowd of people who we can't communicate with however we can all worship the same GOD and he hears ALL of us. When you are worshipping him and goose bumps cover your body you know HE is present! We attended church service with 5 other families who are in our group. As I was singing, I looked around and there wasn't a dry eye in any of us Mamas. I can't explain how cool and very touching this experience was. Riley heard her very first sermon in her country. We worshipped and Praised GOD in China...How AWESOME is that!!
The shopping was great too!! Probably too great!! We had to buy another suitcase to carry back everything we have bought so far and we are still here for 4 more days!! We are loving China. We are missing home and the boys for sure but when we leave I know it will be with mixed emotions!
Shawn, Rheagan and Riley went swimming when we got back. Riley is splashing and kicking even putting her head into the water. She creid tonight we when got her out. We are waiting on Papa Johns to be delivered. Tomorrow we are going on the Panda Safari. We can't wait!!
