China Digest

Greetings, all! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Rich, Carolyn's brother, and I'll be posting her reports she sends via e-mail and phone. I got to take them to the airport this morning. They left on time and arrived at O'Hare ahead of schedule. However, they had a 4 hour, 45 minute delay due to plane servicing, so they are currently boarding for Beijing, due to arrive at 6:22 AM Friday morning. (For simplicity's sake, I'll post all times as EDT, even though it's an easy-to-deal-with, 12-hour difference.)

Apparently Brian slept, Carolyn freaked (small plane), and Brett loved every minute. In fact, Carolyn said, "We saw Wrigley Field, and I thought he was going to jump out." What a great graduation present!

Someone shared with me today that she was making a blanket for Charissa and saying a prayer with each stroke of her crochet needles. We appreciate all of the prayers that have been offered for all of them. Keep praying!

Next report will be when I hear from them.
