Day 12 - December 18

Today we had our Oath Ceramony, if you can call it a ceramony. We basically went into a waiting room(government building waiting room) not a nicely decorated room. We stood up raised our right hand and repeated something(I can't remember what)with a group of about 55 other families and that was it. As uneventful as that sounds I still got emotional.

The rest of the day was spent packing and hanging out with friends. Here is a picture of our travel group.


We will be getting up at 4:30a.m. to come home. Our plane leaves at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday China time and we should arrive in Lexington at 4:30p.m. on Wednesday US time. Can't wait to see everyone and introduce you to Faith Fu Xiang Maas.
