OFF TO CHINA!!

Hi Everyone:

Before you even ask, no, we are not adopting number six! However, I have once again been blessed with the opportunity to go on a medical mission with Operation Smile. Unfortunately, the student sponsor for the Qianxi, Guizhou Province of China Mission pulled out at the last minute. Fortunately, I was asked, at the last minute, if I could go with the students (Chelsea and Grace) as their sponsor! I met both girls at the Operation Smile Student Training back in January and they are both wonderful. Normally, sponsors only go on one mission per year, but knowing I have a multiple entry Visa, a passion for China and speak fairly decent Mandarin, I was asked if I could go. I am so blessed to have an understanding husband and family who said "go for it!" So, here I go!! I fly into Beijing on April 14th and will return home to the U.S. on April 26th. I am looking forward to once again serving Operation Smile; returning to the amazing country of China; and helping so many lucky children have a beautiful smile! Love always, Tracie xoxoxo
