We've arrived!

After 30.5 hours of travel we finally arrived in the city of Nanchang. It was midnight our time, noon your time and we crashed. Gift did remarkably well on the long flight over. She slept, ate and watched lots of movies! She only complained twice. We just ate breakfast and are now waiting for the phone call to go and get Ivy. She is on her way now to our hotel. There are no words to describe the feelings we are having. Last night at about the 28th hour of travel, I had a little breakdown. I hadn't slept since we left Jasper, and I was just completely spent!!! Today we are all good. It's amazing what 6 hours of sleep can do for the body. Prayer request for the next little bit: Bonding!!!! I don't want Ivy afraid, or scared. I am praying for an instant bond that only God can give! Stay6 tuned...pics will be coming soon! Love to u all
