Sunday in Guangzhou

We went to the breakfast buffet and then a morning walk. We then went to the Sunday church service at Shamian Christ Church. One of the shop owners invited us to go, and they did the service in Chinese and English. The subject of the sermon today was about how you pray. The service was very similar to our services in the U.S. It was very nice to see so many people packed into a Christian church  that is usually forbidden in China. There were several American families with their newly adopted children there too. We are starting to see families trickle into the area for the final leg of the adoption process before returning home. We and a few other families are in Guangzhou for our entire adoption journey as our children are from the Guangdong Province. We went to lunch at Lucy's, and then took Keaton swimming. He loves the pool and the park! We also ran into the Hyatt's (see one of the blogs I follow International Hyatts), and it so cool to meet in person a family we have followed blogging. I have also met a few families that have been on the China Adopt Talk forum. I have also enjoyed the Johnson's sending us emails daily to follow us. We traveled with them our entire trip with Keaton last year, and all had so much fun together. We have not met any of the families in our group and most likely won't until they arrive to Guangzhou next week from the children's province. More Later! I will have to add the pictures  of the church and Keaton with his yogurt face in a separate post due to computer difficulties. The WiFi cuts in and out and it is taking forever to get this posted and to try to download pics.
