My attitude has improved greatly. The first couple of days were extremely hard but after many encouraging words and bible verses sent my way...things are looking up. I have decided to embrace the 4-5 weeks we have to spend here and to try to learn as much as we can about the children's history, as well as, the history of their birthcountry.
On another note, we rented an apartment today for the entire month of October. The hotel room (even though we are in the largest room available) has gotten quite small. We have rented two apartments next door to the hotel...they both have full kitchens and washer and dryers. This way we (George :)) can cook some meals instead of eating out so much. We got both rooms for $50 less a night than we were paying at the hotel. This is after I used my great negotiating skills. :) We will move over to the apartment on Monday.
We didn't make it to the mall today sice it was storming pretty badly and our driver was either in an accident or stuck in traffic due to an accident..it was hard for me to understand! :) We will go tomorrow at 2 o'clock after visiting the kids in the morning. We are able to take the kids to the hotel with us on Monday...this is actually 4 days earlier than originally planned but they feel that we have now bonded with the children.

My blog posting skills are lacking so forgive me. I tried to post something a couple of days ago but had trouble with my password. Will try again! Hope y'all have had a good day. I love seeing all the pictures. Lifted y'all up at church today. Here is my verse for you...slightly longer version but I hope it will encourage you.
"Don't you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of all the earth? He nevers grows faint or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength to the weak. Even youths will become exhausted, and young men will give up. But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:28-31 (New Living translation)
This verse continues to come up in my devotional or my studies so I have really been drawn to it. It also happens to be the verse that got my Dad through a difficult time. Praying it ministers to you as well.
Blessings to you all,
Libby P.
