Introducing Samuel!

We left Beijing at about 7:45am and arrived in Chengdu by 10:30am. Our guide met us at the airport and got us checked in to the hotel then thankfully we had a couple of hours to get settled I had a horrible headache and a little car sickness. A rest and some advil did wonders and we left the hotel a little after 1 and arrived at the orphanage before 2.

They brought Samuel in and after about 2 minutes of shyness he was all smiles and jabber!! He wanted to touch everything and immediately called us mama and baba. He was not at all afraid of us and in fact was completely ready to leave the orphanage as we toured the rooms he said byby to everybody. He is a busy little boy. Well here are some pics and I'll write more later.

He looks SO good. How nice that you were able to go to the orphanage to get him. That must have been a blessing. I will continue to pray for your bonding process and time in China.

God bless, Lisa C

Wayne & Martha, so excited for you, have fun in China and may God bring you all home safetly.

God is so awewsome He take a so called shy and quiet boy and gives him love of new parents and his personality changes. Smiles and excitement to communicate, how awesome. Love is the key knowing he has a family! Praying God will bond you all together and open the communicating channel.
Thanks you Jesus that Samuel doesn't have to be sad any longer for you have given him a home and a family. You came to him!!!
