We had our opening ceremonies today. Lots of speakers, even more flowers (Caitlin thought it was more like a funeral than an opening ceremony) and a few patients.
Rosalyn and Caitlin are already in love with several of the patients.
LL photo of a little boy who looks great until you look in his mouth (LR photo) and you see a rather large palate defect.
We have run into a lot of problems getting started. First, China customs claimed most of our meds and some equipment. Then, they decided that all the health care workers had to have copies of their licenses notorized. This was a first for us in China. With the assistance of a lot of Chinese workers and some transplanted Americans, we were able to get all the papers documented at the US Consolate. We will see what happens tomorrow.
We are all well, a little frustrated and more than ready to begin work.

Thanks for blogging. I love seeing my KitKat interacting with the children. Love you guys.
Love all the pictures Dad... especially the one with Cait and the smile on that llittle girls face!Hutton is still mad at me that he didn't get to go. You need to do this once more next year and maybe Holly, Allison, Hutton and I can all go but I want Caitlin to go too.We are praying for your trip and your safety. Reagan did not play very well in his 2nd tourney in Brownwood but well enough to beat the other two 11 year olds for first place so he gets to play in the west Texas area tourney in August here in Midland. He shot a 42 at MCC today with Mitch and Mitch assured me he didn't let Reagan have any gimmees...older cousin trying to keep Reagan humble which is good. He even beat Mitch by 3 strokes. Miss you guys.
