update, May 11th

Let's see if I can update in two sentences.
 
*My brother, Josh is here.  Yay!!!
*Our little baby girl in the hospital is doing WONDERFUL!
 
Ok, I'll elaborate more than that!
 
Josh arrived Wednesday, the 7th.  It was wonderful to give him a big hug and welcome him to Taiwan.  He had a pretty good trip.  A big answer to prayer is he was able to get an exit row seat for the long plane ride to give his long legs more room.  His original seat was squished in a middle seat.
It was funny because when I hugged him he seemed twice as big as before.  I've been in Asia awhile...
He and I are planning to do a bit of sight seeing before we leave the country together on the 20th.
 
We had another earth quake last night.  That would be the 3rd since I?ve been here, this was the biggest one I think, (didn't hurt anything, just made things rattle) but I slept through it this time.   Josh was quite disappointed he slept through it.  "My first earthquake and I didnt even feel it?!"
 
Josh and I traveled by train to a city on the other side of the island to visit a missionary family that are friends of ours and that our church supports.  It was so providential, a complete blessing from God, that they were visiting the island at the same time.  We found out before Josh came that they would be visiting, so Josh brought a care package for them from the States from our family and our church. 


Mei Ai, our baby girl in the hospital who had heart surgery, is doing so well!  It is such a miracle!  She's been in our local hospital for about a week.  She's still in recovery but is probably a few weeks away from coming back to the Home.  Yesterday (the 10th) I got to go see her with Uncle Ted and Aunt Bev.   Josh baby sat with baby Eva (who came along to go to the ear doctor while we were out) in the waiting room while we were in the hospital nursery.  I got to hold her, kiss her, stroke her hair, and just talk to her for awhile.  She was amazing.  She acted so very happy to see us, she made eye contact with us the whole time and was smiling!  I had never seen her eyes and face so alert and bright even before the surgery.  She soaked in every bit of the love and let us know how ready she was to be a healthy happy baby by her smiles and bright eyes.  After praying for her, and after papa Ted and mama Bev sang to her we put her back down because we needed to leave.  I'm so glad to have gotten so see her before I left, and am praising God for her miraculous recovery.  I'm sure God was listening to all who were praying for her.  Keep doing so, we want her to keep healthy and free from infection and build her immune system up to its max before she comes back here and is exposed to all our germs.

Here she is:


Blessings in HIM,
~Elizabeth
