signing papers

Because I'm intentionally trying to be positive about this whole trip, this will be short.

We just finished three hours of driving through intense traffic, smog so thick I was having trouble breathing, and moving flood waters with a three-year-old child who has only known us for two days to get to Jiaozuo. Once there, we climbed five flights of steps to sign nine papers, and then we drove back home. It was difficult. But it's over now.

We also saw the orphanage. But I'll write about all that another time.

Thanking the Lord that trip is finally over. I've never been so glad to see a hotel room in my entire life.
