Great Wall, Cloisonne Factory, & Meeting with Old and New Friends







Today was a busy and amazing day. We saw so many things. The Cloisonne Factory is where they make beautiful pots out of copper. The Great Wall was unbelievable. In the picture we are with Karen & Ron whose daughter is in the same orphanage as Eliza. When we returned to our hotel we saw our exchange student from 3 years ago, Han Lin and we met his parents, Yang Hong & Xue Mei. They treated us to an authentic Chinese dinner. You would not believe some of the things we were served. This family warmed our heart with their love and hospitality. The Lord is so amazing to bring us all together. He is blowing our minds with His abundant blessings.
