Dear Friends, warm greetings from China, Tianjin!

Last Night after long total of 17+ hours on the trip, Team JuliAMaryElisSa made it safely to the SFCV (Shepherd's Field Children Village). ...And the bags followed us safely here!

The weather is good in Tianjin. Although the first thing you notice as soon as you step out of the car is dusty polluted air. It makes it harder to breath. The combination of a major construction work right in front of SFCV (it looks like a factory some sort), dusty unpaved roads, and humidity. However, inside of SFCV it is nice and peaceful. The air is full of love. Everywhere you turn you see children's faces on the paintings and pictures. We have yet to meet them in person. We will be seeing them at 9:30am since today is Saturday and the kids are off school. Looking forward to spending the whole day with them!

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and mentioning us to him. We will need it. We are remembering you all as well. He is good!
