We begin the LONG trip home to China in the wee hours of the morning on July 1. We will arrive very late on July 3. (It’s quite fascinating how we just skip over the entire day of July 2 as we cross the International Date Line.)
- I’ve got hundreds of photographs waiting to be uploaded and shared.
- I’ve packed our six allowed trunks plus three bags of overage.
- Now we’re handling last minute preparations and saying our goodbyes.
This has been the best USA trip we’ve ever had. And that makes it even harder to leave the comforts of America.
But “to whom much is given, much is required” (Luke 12:48).
See you on the other side of the Pacific.

It must be hard to leave your homeland again. On the other hand, there will be smiling faces in China on your return. I hope your Chinese neighbours and friends will welcome you ‘home’ as your family in the USA did.
