Shepherd's Field Children's Village

I'm here! After 3 hours of sleep and a somewhat delirious drive to the airport in Beijing to drop the team off then 3 anxious hours waiting for my taxi, I made it safely here!

Really neat place. Very similar to Maria's Big House of Hope but houses older children. Met some cool Chinese young adults who live here. Crazy stories. I feel so immensely blessed to have been adopted.

It's been a long day and I'm exhausted. I feel kind of lonely, it's weird to go from a super close knit group to trying to understand broken English the whole time and just wandering around. Tomorrow my goal is to be more intentional with the kids here. They deserve my undivided attention, despite how I feel. After being here in China, there is nothing I can ever really complain about again.

    Still praying for you every day. We miss you :)

    I know what you mean about how China makes you feel so blessed and thankful. I wish I could be there with you. Keep taking video and photos.
    Love you, Dad

    Oh...don't feel to bad about not being able to get on that flight to Guangzhou. I did some research and found out that the distance from Guangzhou to Changsha is 484 miles! That's like driving from Sac to LA. So actually you would have to take two flights. (but I know what you were saying....maybe we can all go there together someday!)
