Before leaving Guangxi, we added a tour to Yiling village. This area has a very unique landscape that may have inspired Dr Seuss.
We were taken by our guide to a farming village where we were able to walk out in the fields. We saw corn, rice, tomatoes, pumpkins, potatoes, and many other vegetables. We talked with one man who was harvesting his corn. It actually looked quite nice with large, long ears. He told us he has 1 acre of corn and 1 acre of soybeans. The corn is used to feed his pigs. We told him we also raised corn and beans, but he probably thought, "Yeah right, you really look like a farmer."
ZhuZhu LOVED the animals. This was in her report, and they were not lying when they told us this. She wanted to pet everything. She seemed especially fond of the sow that had 10 piglets. She also liked the baby calf. I think she will like the farm.
ZhuZhu still has occasional moments, but they are getting fewer and further between. We are very much enjoying that wonderful personality that you all will likely fall in love with very soon. This afternoon as we are packing she has been making necklaces, playing with puzzles, and trying on her new sunglasses. I think she likes them!

Moster Family,
We are very happy for you. Lara is so beautiful. She puts a smile on your face when you look at her. We are looking forward to getting to meet her. I am sure the children at preschool will love her. We are looking forward to having her in the class.
Have a safe trip home and looking forward to meeting her.
Miss Kim
I am so happy to see your beautiful Lara. I could not wait to check into the blog. After all I saw in my last week of travels, I understand much more how fortunate Lara is to have you as her family. God Bless you for opening your home to one of God's children with compassionate loving arms. May the peace of Christ overcome the mountains on the roller coaster and turn them into small hills as you journey home and unite your family.
Lara is absolutely beautiful!
Love,
Ann, Brenna & Kurt
The gang's all here! The kids are in the trees, balls are flying, and the boys are in the flower bed. See what the three Moster kids are missing?
Beer's cold, hog's big. Wishing all of you were here! By the way, did you buy the bread? We are worried about breakfast. We're afraid Tina will burn the casserole!
Mike, Dan, Jeff, & Eric
(Hey, they'll be lucky if I even wake up to make that casserole!)
Seriously, we miss you all, but you two are right where you should be. We are excited to add your precious Lara to the gang! Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Have a safe trip home.
Deb, Tina, Anita, Marlene, & Ann
