TA on its way!

...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil. 1:6

Happy Dancing our way to China! Lifeline should have our TA (Travel Approval) in hand Wednesday or Thursday. Then what happens? They will request an appointment with the US Consulate in Guangzhou. That appointment date should be confirmed within 24 to 48 hours, so hopefully by Friday we will be booking flights!
