update

We met with our local guide Sherry at 1 p.m. Monday. She took us to the bank to exchange funds then showed us around the mall across from our hotel but it is like playing chicken trying to cross the road!

We are supposed to meet her at 3:30 p.m. (230 a.m. at home) and head to the Civil Affairs office to get Mary Elisabeth.

We are still having some computer issues. We'll try our best to get a photo posted tonight. If not, we might have to wait until Friday when we meet up with our travel group in Guangzhou. If that happens, we'll call one of our family members and have them put that on the blog.

Take care and keep praying
