Thanks for the tantrum pictures. Amelie is a beautiful child. With prayers for you—for more grace than you expect as you head home. May the Lord meet you on the plane with his gracious love.

To Kristie & John, thank you for your wonderful words to our kids Mike & Louanne. We wish you much love in your adoption of Momo Grace. I hope the girls can one day meet each other & share in the love our two families have. She is beautiful ! Love Moma Petlow /Nonnie xoxo

Hi Mike and Louanne,
We’ve been following your blog and are so thankful for everything you’ve shared. We’ve been journeying a week behind you, and it’s been really helpful knowing a little more what we can expect in the next week of our trip. We are in Yinchuan and are leaving for Guangzhou this afternoon. I think that Tony has probably contacted you already about our connecting with you sometime today before your flight leaves for home. He is going to give us a paper to give to you that you didn’t receive while in Yinchuan.
We’ll also be staying at the Holiday in Shifu, so maybe we can meet there this evening. Our flight leaves at about 3:30, so we’ll be arriving around 7:00. Would you like to meet in the lobby between 7/8pm? If you’d like to meet yet tonight, we’ll either look for you there, or you could leave a message at the front desk and let us know when it works for you. You’re in our prayers that you’ll all be feeling better soon. By the way, we noticed our daughter was in one of your Gotcha Day pictures. Our Momo Grace is the little girl on the right side of the photo where there are just a few caretakers, and a couple kids in the picture. We think our girls were probably friends at the orphanage. Sweet! Looking forward to seeing you face to face soon! God bless you all!
-Kristie, John, Nathan, Kaleb and Momo Grace Aukema

Hoping you all feel better soon! Sending healing thoughts and prayers for all of you. It warms my heart that Amelie said “mama” – what a joyous word to hear!
