Still waiting, and waiting-

Well, the much anticipated I171-H from immigration is still not here! Ugg! When I spoke with the woman at immigration last Thursday she said it was sitting right on her desk and it would be in the mail on Friday. Well it should have arrived by Saturday, Monday at the latest- and here we sit on Thursday still waiting!
The woman I spoke with has not returned my call, and I have not been able to reach anyone in person.
So- we wait. This is the hardest part of this whole process, all that you have no control over.

On a very good note, we did receive an email from our girl a few days ago! She is working very hard on her English skills, and I think she is doing very well, certainly much better than our Chinese!
Here it is for all of you-
