Chicken Pox!

When we first met Hope she kept scratching and scratching. We didn't think much about it until she just couldn't seem to stop. We have a doctor on the trip with us who we asked to come and check her out. He said he thought it might be scabies. Since it was so late in the day we decided to wait until the next day to get some medicine. Joy our interpreter thought it might be something else so we went to the local hospital. Whole different experience there.


Anyway, Hope has Chicken Pox. We got some medicine and she is much better. but we are quarantine for at least 3 days. Please pray that she will be better in time for us to get on the plane to come home on the 23rd.

Hope cried for the first time today because "Jay Jay" (big sister, Abigail) went on the tour to the Temple of Heaven without her. Mom and Hope had some bonding time while they were quarantined. As soon as Abigail got back Hope told Mama to go in the other room with PaPa (Daddy) and laughed. She is a little jokester.

We can not thank God enough for this precious gift He has entrusted to us as a family to raise while here on the earth.
