Today was our last full day in Guangzhou. We spent some time at the hotel playground in between rain showers. There's certainly no fear of this playground anymore!

We felt alittle adventurous at suppertime so we headed to a Lebanese restaurant. It was one of the best meals we've had in 2 weeks!

A lot of the other families left today because their visa appointment was a day earlier than ours. We managed to get a group photo of all the Holt families before anyone departed.

I've been thinking about some of the prayers we've seen God answer on this trip. When we were waiting for months to get our hands on Mason, one of our prayers for him was that he would be curious. That prayer was definitely answered. This little guy is so quick to get his hands on anything and everything. He doesn't miss a beat!

Thanks for all of your prayers throughout our journey. You'll never know how much it meant to us to know you were all praying. Please continue to lift us up as we travel. We will be leaving Thurs evening (going to Hong Kong) then will fly into Des Moines Friday evening. Prayers for safe travels, adjustment back to Iowa time, and for the transition both boys will have as they meet each other.
