McNaughton's China Trip

Hi, everybody. I didn't take many pictures today as all we did was travel. But this nice tater-tot shot was taken at our last breakfast in Guangzhou.











We left Guangzhou around 2:45p.m. today and flew to Hong Kong, about 45 min or so flight. Once in HK we said tearful good-byes to all the families we'd got to know in the last two weeks. All of them were spending the night in the airport hotel and leaving the next morning. We were the only ones staying in HK for the weekend.At the airport we boarded this really cool Express train that took 23 minutes to reach downtown HK then we boarded a transfer bus that dropped us off at our hotel. I can't even begin to describe how nice this hotel is. I had called a guy in the US Defense Attache Office in HK to get a reservation at a nice place. No picture I can post would do this place justice. We are on the 53rd floor!! If you're interested to see it just go to http://www.shangri-la.com/ and look up the hotel on Hong Kong Island.We had Thai food, went to a supermarket to get some stuff for Sarah then headed for bed. Should have some nice pictures tomorrow as we're taking a four-hour island tour.

We talked to Shellye's mom this morning and she told us Shellye's grandma died the day we got to China two weeks ago. No one told us so as not to add a cloud to our trip as we were getting Sarah and learning what she needed from us to take care of her. Shellye was pretty sad, Grandma Inez was her last living grandparent. But the good news is she believed in the Good News. Shellye's mom talked to Inez' pastor at the funeral and the pastor said he had an opportunity to talk with Grandma about what he would say at her funeral. She told him, "to tell everybody about Jesus, just keep talking about Jesus." What a testimony from a women who knew her death was near, she wanted others to know where she was going and for them to have an opportunity to know Jesus as Savior too.
