Snow Storms in China
First of all we have not received any news of our LOA. We are still praying that it comes TODAY. However, my prayers have turned more toward the safety and warmth of our Molly. As I posted earlier there have been massive snow storms in much of China, and Jiangsu (Molly's province) was hit really hard. The director of our agency has gotten in touch with several of the orphanages in China and though some have no power the children are fine. However, she has been unable to reach anyone at the JiangYin SWI. Her emails have been returned and the phone is down or always busy. JiangYin is a newer orphanage, built in 2000 (I think). So it does have proper windows and a good heating system, but if there is no power for extended amounts of time I am sure there will be problems with keeping warm, food, and water. Please pray that the weather continues to improve (there hasn't been snow in a couple of days) and the Chinese people can come together and heal from this national disaster.
