Ok, we made it!!!!! It was harder than I thought and every plane ride we took we were running the airport to catch and boarded at final call. I truly thought the LA airport we were not going to make our flight. We had some trouble every step of the way-Immigration, luggage and security but,... another miracle we made it!! It was not easy (have to admit crying with EmmaLi but, only once)! Jessica was singing "Highway to Heck" (thankyou Megamind) on the way home and I thought to myself, sort of appropriate for this trip! Not that the destination was anything like heck!!! HOME, is so wonderful!!! We came home to family at the airport banners, posters and signs from family and neighbors at the house. We came home to a yard that had been mowed, weeded and pruned. We came home to food in our fridge. We came home to treats and flowers on the counter. We came home in time to hear the gospel talk from a nephew leaving on a mission. (We love you Rulon and you truly filled our empty spiritual tank with your talk!) We were able to take the Sacrament today after 3 weeks of missing it! The blessings just keep on flowing!!! We are completely exhausted and waking up at 2 a.m. this morning but, so glad to be in our own beds in our own kitchen with air conditioning (HIP HIP HOORAY)and food we actually dare eat!!! Oh, and if I never have to use a squatty potty again it'll be ok with me! (yes we did it!!)Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the prayers, all the kindnesses, we are truly blessed beyond measure. On our way home from Rulon's mission talk we saw on a liscence plate Always late but, worth the wait! We laughed but, then I thought of EmmaLi and she is totally worth the wait!!!! Can't wait for everyone to be able to meet her! She met a few family members yesterday but, gets overwhelmed easy so, we have to take it real slow! (big sis doesn't understand that yet, but it'll be ok!) The pictures I posted are of downtown Guangzhou (had a New York feel to it) and of the promised picture of church this is what a woman was baptized in while we were there and of course the other 2 you can figure out!
