Update #1

People running. People passing. People walking. People sitting. People watching.

It's 5:40 am. Thursday September 7th. In Pittsburgh. At the airport. At my gate.

Yesterday was a full day of saying farewells, hanging out, going to church, going to Giant Eagle with daddy to pick up some fried chicken for the fam, and making sure I was all packed and ready to go. 

Yesterday evening and our family's dinnertime came quickly because of everything to do that kept me quite busy. We all gathered together in the kitchen to thank the Lord for the food and eat. There were ten of us, I noted (mom, dad, Thomas, James, John, Anna, Frank, Dajun, and Teddy) I asked myself "where are the missing two?"  I actually contemplated this and wondered if there were two more people who could join us for dinner.

During dinner, Daddy asked Dajun to read Psalm 23, in Mandarin Chinese. It was special to hear Dajun read this passage, in his own language, the language I long to learn and understand. Then Daddy read it in English.

We continued to linger over conversation and fellowship around the table. 

Then as we are sitting there, the front door begins to crack open. Thomas said that he thought someone was at the door.  It opens slowly, then we see them. It's Roni and Bill!! There was an exuberance of joy and excitement that hence erupted. And then there were 12 of us. :)

Beginning to board now for San Fransisco.
