Hey there everyone,
We went to our travel meeting on Monday and they still tell us that we should travel on 8/21. That is just four weeks from tomorrow. We have to send off for our China visa and wait for our travel letter. It is exciting to think that we will travel so soon after waiting over two and a half years.
We met two couples on Monday night at the travel meeting. One is from Lexington and the other is from Georgetown. They are real nice couples and it will be good traveling with them.
They tell us that the costs in Beijing will be higher due to the Olympics. Hotels that are generally $100 a night are now charging as much as $250 or more for the same rooms. We are debating if we should skip going to Beijing and seeing the Great Wall and the other sights due to the extra cost. It might be a once in a lifetime experience to see the sights, but we have to consider our budget.
Loren went to camp on Monday and he is still there. He must be having a good time. I miss the little fellow. He is growing up on me. To be gone for a week without his mom and dad is a big step for him. Landon misses him. He was just not the same child on Teusday without his brother.
Jeremy has band camp this week also. Landon and him is going to Bible School at night.
Please continue to pray for us.
May God richly bless each of you.
