Our day to get out and experience Zhengzhou had a few wrinkles thrown into it. First of all, the stress of the whole experience wore out L and she slept from about 10:30pm to 11:30am, so the morning was pretty much shot. She was however quite happy today and seems to be getting a little more comfortable with us each day. Finally about 3:30 in the afternoon we made it out for a little walk in the rain. We didn’t have anywhere we really needed to go, so we ventured to a department store and McDonald’s. On the way a very nice woman stopped us and asked us about L. She spoke a little English and asked us how old L was and told us her name was Louise (we’ve met a number of Chinese people who have “English” names as well as their Chinese name, especially those in the service industry, such as hotel staff). Anyway, she moved on, but about two or three minutes later she was back and insisted we take her umbrella (it was sprinkling lightly), so she gave it to us to keep. It was a wonderful act of kindness, this we know to be a special gift from above; how He is always watching over us and moving others around us to reap blessing upon blessing.
