October 7 @ 10:51 p.m. - Beijing time and 10:51 a.m. - Wilkes County time

It is official, Samuel Ty is ours. We traveled to the Civil Affairs office via taxi ride. Words cannot explain or begin to express the taxi experience. We will share once we stop shaking and praying. We also journeyed out to the Golden Arches (McDonald's) Samuel Ty enjoyed the trip. Below you will find a picture of Toni and Samuel enjoying their chicken nuggets and fries.

We have tried to the rest this afternoon. I am in the withdrawal mode since I cannot locate at Mtn. Dew anywhere in China. They have no idea what they are missing. Toni has been working with Samuel Ty on learning our family names via the pictures that we brought. He is very smart and learning to identify and pronounce their names.

We are touring Chongqing tomorrow. Pray for us as we ride in a taxi once again. Going to bed to get some rest.
