Have Visa, will Travel

Yesterday was our consulate appointment. It was pretty simple, just take an oath with all the other parents, sign one paper and then leave. Much simpler than Phil's citizenship process!

Here we are outside the American Consulate.





Today we did some last minute shopping and tomorrow night we head for home.

It's been a long two weeks. Good, but long. I am so ready to introduce Bella to the rest of her family!

Our guide Elsie brought Bella's visa to me this afternoon, so we are all set and ready to go home!

Bella LOVES Show Hope

So thankful to Show Hope, Steven Curtis Chapman'a adoption ministry, for helping make our adoption of Bella possible!

Memorial Hall and Chen Family Temple

Memorial Hall. It is a huge concert hall. Kenny G is coming in November!



























This tree arches over the walkway and its roots are implanted in the ground in the other side!









Chen Family Temple. The brick and wood carvings are so beautiful!

















Mommy and baby lion.


Daddy lion.


Two warriors stand guard on the temple's front doors.






Bella has had enough! Lol!
