MONEY IS ON ITS WAY

We sent off the donation to Alyssa's orphange!!! YAY! Unfortunately the bank charged me $45 for the transaction. We sent $320 to the orphanage to buy the 30 snowsuits, $50 to our contact in China for her services and then paid the additional charge of $45. I'll have to see if there is a cheaper way to wire the money. I checked with Western Union and it would have only cost $30 but for some reason, our contact in China said it was difficult on her end to use it. I'll check with her again on this.

We should hear something next week about how the orphanage did with purchasing their items. Our care package is just about ready to send. We are adding some gloves/lotion for the nannies and a picture of our family holding a sign that says "We hope you like your gift!" in chinese, of course!

Can't wait to see the little beauties from the orphanage....
