Lily Grace's Orphanage

Hey Everybody,

Sorry I haven't been able to write in a while, Yesterday was so busy. First, we woke up and Lily ate some oatmeal. And I went downstairs and had some breakfast (waffles and bacon and scrambled eggs, good American food!) haha.

Then after we all were ready, we got on the van and rode to Lily's orphanage. The orphanage was very pretty and was right on the lake (Lotus Lake). Then we went inside where we met Lily's two nannys, caregivers. They were very kind and we could tell they loved Lily very much. Then the director of the orphanage showed us her bed where the nanny gave Lily back a book we sent in her care package. After that, we went upstairs to the director's main room, where he gave us some watermelon, peaches, and water. All of them were very kind. And I am glad that Lily was taken care of very well.

Then we went to her abandonment site just outside of the orphanage by a couple of stones. It seemed very sad that her mom had to abandon her. How could anyone leave such a wonderful, loving, pretty little girl by herself in the middle of nowhere? After we left her abandonment site, we got back in the van and said goodbye to all her nannys, directors, and social workers.
Then we went back to Nanchang, where we bought some bigger luggage to hold all our souveniers haha. Then we came back to the hotel and Lily had her nap. And played the rest of the night until she finally fell asleep. Well, that's all for now. Can't wait to see you all when we get back home.

Love you all and miss you very much,
God Bless
Austin
