There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

APRIL 23, 2014: ARRIVAL IN SUZHOU

ARRIVAL IN SUZHOU
APRIL 23, 2014

 We finally arrived in Suzhou.  It took a little bit to find the hotel, but all is well.
While I was checking in and the kids were just starting to unload luggage, we were greeted by Seth and Abby Hiatt -- members of the church here in Suzhou.  What a wonderful surprise!  They had several cases of water for us and helped us unload and took us to find food AND helped us get our phones set up, and, and, and ...... so much help and service and support that we will never be able to repay.  Here are pictures of our hotel room.




 
Key card is required for turning on the lights!!!
Dinner out with Brother Hiatt and Abby.  Delicious food!
Benjamin loved the cabbage dish!!!


 While Amy and I went with Brother Hiatt to get phone service set up, the kids walked back to the hotel with Abby.  They chatted and walked around the river area a bit.
