Another Surprise Update!

We got a letter posted from Chicago yesterday. A Chinese American woman is visiting family there, and she is in charge of the home Ruby's been at since Dec 2010, in Beijing. So she's not in Inner Mongolia at all!

The letter invited me to ask questions, so of course I did. Her kind response is a big encouragement, especially since it came with photos of Ruby opening our care package we sent in June.

It said she has a little rash on her lip because of the heat, and also told us her palate has been repaired (which must be a great blessing for her early speech development)!!

The home where she is cares for just fourteen children, and it is a home full of *blessing* and *spirit*.  What a relief to know that like-minded people have been caring for her all along! And they rejoice to know she'll be coming into a home that will continue their work, the letter said.  So much to be thankful for!

I guess she's been a "treasure in Beijing" for more than 18 months, but soon she'll be a treasure in Central PA.
