Guangzhou

Today we traveled to Guangzhou which is located on the far southeast corner of China.  We had around a 5 hour flight from Urumqi to Guangzhou.  Josiah was a trooper.  He slept for about half of the trip.  We had a little challenge after arriving at Guangzhou as Josiah wet his pants and then puked on Katie while she was changing his diaper in the bathroom (without a baby changing station) right before leaving for our hotel.  We don't think he is sick, but pray for him in the next couple days.  We arrived at our hotel in Guangzhou which is arguably the nicest hotel we've ever seen.  Josiah is sleeping now and tomorrow we have Josiah's medical appointment at the U.S. Consulate.  We are feeling very homesick at this point, but feel excited to be in Guangzhou with the other Bethany families.  We are counting down the days until we can travel home. 

Here are some more photos from the last couple days:

Swimming for the first time.  They made us wear these caps!

Beautiful clear morning in Urumqi

By afternoon, the smog is thick

Are we there yet? 

Most hotels we've been to have Gideon bibles in their nightstands
