Zoo
In the Guangzhou Zoo, you are not suppose to feed the animals, just like in America. Elvin was explaining to Dong Fu if you feed the bears, they would get sick and have to see the animal doctor, just a minute after that, a group of people showed up and were throwing apples to the bears. Dong Fu in a very loud, alarming voice was telling Elvin about how the bears were going to get sick, over and over again! I did not understand a word he was saying, yet I knew exactly what he was talking very loudly about. It was a complete riot!
Supper
Tonight at supper we were eating a delicious meal. Elvin always encourages Dong Fu to eat a little bit more. In the sweetest little voice, he said, "I am full, do you want me to get fat!" Elvin loves to repeat what he says to us, because he is so witty!
Sweet things he does!!!!
Dong fu loves to share. He received a package of M & M's on gotcha day from us. He has savored the package for three days. Not all to himself, he will eat 1 give papa 1 and give mama one. I only recall a couple of times that he would eat 3 or 4 without giving us one. Amazing!!!! He does this same thing with potato chips. He picked out a small sack of potato chips our first night together, and he shared all of them too! This is absolutly incredible! Many orphans hoard everything they have, becasue they have never had anything. What a blessing
I brought along a pack of 3 flavored lip balms. I gave one to Dong Fu yesterday and put the package on the desk. Dong Fu came across the package with the 2 left in it today. He looked at me, we used sign language and gestures to let him know that they were all his. He kindly picked out 1 and gave it to me, then he did the same for Brett. His love language is definitly gifts. I would say he would rather give than receive. Love him so much! He is going to adore his brother and Sister!
One last prayer request! God has opened up soooo many doors while we have been here. This is something I have not asked God for, but, it never hurts to ask. The city we are in is Dong Fu's city. His hands are very unique, so I know if is mama saw him, she would know that he was her child! I am asking you all to pray along with me, that the Lord would put us in the path of Dong Fu's mama while we are here. And she would be bold enough to let us know and have conversation and pictures with her without Dong Fu hearing. This would be the last piece of putting together the puzzle of our little boys history. Our God is able! Thanks for being my prayer warriors!!!!! Much love and thanksgiving!!!!!
