Running in the Rain

It's Monday morning and hoping for good news today. We enjoyed the tunnels Saturday. Race really enjoyed crawling in some of the tunnels, I chickened out and turned around. It was really hot, small and dark in the tunnel (3 things I don't like). Race wanted to go through them again. Van went through one on Keith's back and that was enough for him. It was nice to get away from the city. We were able to see some country side, ride on rough rides and see a few rice fields. We kind od hun out yesterday. Last night we went to a restaurant with our friends by taxi. We went to this restaurant by suggestion of a Hotel. We arrived at the Restaurant and it was flooding. We were looking at the menu on the table and it was a little scary price wise. We decided to leave and our taxi had already left, so we stood in the rain most of the time waiting on another taxi. We tried to tell the taxi driver to take us to a certain hamburger joint next to a certain Hotel, but he took us to the Hotel instead. Finally he dropped us off at the KFC, so we settled with that. We walked home (Hotel) in the rain, the streets were inches deep in water and who knows what else. Someone was asking about the 8 year old that was adopted, he does not know English, but knows ma and a few other words, but gestures and gets his point across. It's so good to hear from so many people, please keep us in your prayers. If we do not travel to Hanoi today our Visas will need updating. We heard that updating these Visas should not be a problem, but I don't put much confidence in "shouldn't be a problem". Van is learning to spit and pull hair. We have a lot of work to do as Van is already pushing his luck! We know God is faithful and will have us home soon!
Love,
Julie

We had special prayer today for rain-- for North Georgia, where there in a drought. Reliable KFC, life has lots of surprises. It is a new week and closer to time for you to be home. I wouldn't care for the tunnels either, I've seen pictures of them. But I would imagine Race liking it. lots of love and see you soon Granny Judy
