Day 11 (August 11th) Saying goodbye to MBHOH & another train ride

Day 11 arrived, it was our last morning at Maria's. We were sad to leave but anxious to get back and see the kids again at NHF (New Hope Foundation)

I snapped a picture of the room I slept in while there. The girls were split into 2 different rooms, with 9 beds each. We all slept SO good here. The whole place was just so wonderful and homey.

Here is a cloud signed by the missions team that came right before us. We were so excited at the thought that we might get to sign a cloud, and sure enough, we got to!

Although there weren't many kids at Maria's, it was hard to say goodbye to the ones that were there. This little girl was so happy and sweet.

We took a group picture outside of MBHOH, right before leaving. So sad to leave, but so blessed to have been apart of helping start out such an AWESOME place. God is there!

Doesn't this building just take your breath away? China is so smoggy and grey that this building stands out so much. It is the light in a dark place, and you can tell by looking at it!

I took this picture on our way to the train station. Chinese cities were so busy, you never got bored of looking around.

This time we took a bullet train, instead of the overnight train. It was about a 7 hr ride. We were going so fast!

Katie and Rianne were my seat mates. We played Pass the Pigs and read 'random facts' from Rianne's iPod.

We finally arrived back at NHF around 1 in the morning, we were all so exhausted, we immediately went to sleep.
