I've attached several pictures for your review. There not in order but really wanted to get something out. Time and internet has been limited.
I told Audrey today as we were heading back to Zhengzhou it feels like we've been gone a month. Up early and to bed late, a lot of activities in Luoyang City with meetings finishing up paperwork and dinners with the orphanage staff.
This has been an incredible experience that I'm still processing. Please be in prayer for the girls with all the adjustments they will be going through. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support!
This is when we first met the girls. They had
just found out that morning they were going to
be with us that day. We also found out that we were
the first family in the Henan province to adopt
sisters.
Great Wall Audrey & Evan.

Outside the orphanage where Maria Xiao wei and
Danielle Ya lived. The director told me that Steven
Curtis Chapman had been at the orphanage the
day before. He is currently touring in China.
Audrey's friend Jennifer from work grew up in the same
town as our girls and she just happened to be
here on vacation visting her mom when we were
getting our girls, what are the chances?
There is 1.3 billon people in China, do the math?
We all re-dedicated our lives to Jesus after taking
a cab ride back to the hotel. Evan had to get a picture
taken because we lived to tell about it. :^)
Two little girls that shared the dorm with the
Maria and Danielle in wait of a mommy and daddy.
Any takers?
Maria Xaio Wei and Danielle Ya's teacher.
She told us they were the joy of her heart and
will be greatly missed.
Friend from the Orphanage
Saying goodbye to friends was bitter sweet for
the girls.
Dinner with the orphanage staff
Family out on our first venture without an
interpreter. We've laughed a lot!!! Danielle is
not shy at all, and really loves to get us to laugh.
Maria is so sweet and responsible, we found out
she know the song Amazing Grace and has a great
voice!
Mary Kay rep in Luoyang City, he must have
had a good year and won the pink scooter
