Journey to Jadyn Grace, Day 2

It's Sunday evening right now where we are and we have had a busy day!
We got up this morning and headed to the airport.  We were a little anxious because this would be the beginning of the part of our trip where we would be without our friends.  We got into the van with the other family that was traveling to the same province as us, that we did not know, and began conversing with them about our journeys and such and come to find out they are believers as well.  It was so comforting to be traveling with another family with the same hope and rock as we have.
We arrived at the airport for a 2 1/2 hour flight.  We landed in Wuhan City at about 1:30 and met our guide for the week.  Our friends had been telling us about their guide from their first trip and about how wonderful she was and how they hoped we would get someone like her.  Turns out we have that same guide.  GOD IS SO GOOD!, and they were right, she is amazing and we've only spent a couple of hours with her.  She got us checked into our hotel and then took us on a tour of the area, where we could shop, what was safe to eat, etc.  We met another family here that will be finishing the trip with us as well.
We took a trip to the local "walmart" and wow is it not really like walmart!  Much more like a sears with a grocery store, sort of.  Kind of hard to explain but yeah, crazy!
We headed to the mall to have dinner, MCDONALD'S!!!, and look around a little.  This city is definitely much more culture shock then Beijing was.
We found out today that our baby girl was actually born in this city and this is where she has been living.  So we could be right down the street from her right now, or she could be 30 min away, but CRAZY!!!!
They brought us a crib to our hotel room, and that is unbelievable - to have a crib in our room?!?!?!  It's definitely getting real!
Please pray that tomorrow (tonight your time) would go great!  Our appointment at the Civil Affairs office is at 2:30.  That's when they'll bring us our princess and she will be ours!  It's quite overwhelming, actually, to even think about for me.  I can't even fathom what that moment tomorrow is going to be like.
Thank you all so much, again!
