Sophie Mei Lewis (video)- "Gotcha Day"

Sophie Mei Lewis

Almost Time

Less Than 4 Hours

We made it to Jiangxi, China about an hour ago and are now at the Galatic Peace International Hotel. Yoda was our bell hop and Buck Rogers checked us in. But for real, this is probably the nicest hotel we have ever been in. They have a baby crib, stroller, and tub all ready for us. Now we just need our baby! Sherry and I are doing pretty good. We are hungry and will go down to the "western restaurant" for some lunch with the others. At 2:00am your time we will meet in the Lobby to go get SOPHIE!! Please keep us in your prayers. I am sure you are ready to see pictures and videos of her instead of the sites and videos of China. We have loved the experience here and have just about beaten jet lag.

Adoption Story

Tomorrow we will get our baby girl--your time Monday, 3:00AM. We have been enjoying our time in China, but we are ready for Sophie.

 

Check out the pictures and videos that we have posted to our blog. We will have her on here tomorrow...Lord willing.

 

Please keep us in your prayers

The Great Wall of China

Today was a GREAT day. We started out going to church and hearing a GREAT sermon on God adopting us through Christ--cool timing right? We then went to a GREAT place to buy Jade. We had a GREAT bottle of Coke with some ok food. Then we hiked up part of the GREAT wall of China. But what does today mean to us? It means tomorrow we get Sophie! Thinking about climbing the wall today I am reminded of the importance of setting your sites on the prize and going for it...or her. We made it to the top of the wall and by God's Grace we will make it to Sophie tomorrow! Pray for us as we fly to her city to get her tomorrow, our 4:00pm Monday...your 3:00am Monday morning. You should wake up tomorrow with a video of her.
