The Moura Family: May 2011

Our Itinerary in China

The following is what we'll be doing in China for 2 weeks. We thought we'd share so you can also know how to pray specifically for us while we're there. (There is a 13-hour difference!) We hope you'll pray for us during this trip, as well as for the safety and great behavior of our boys while they stay here with their grandparents! :-) Don't forget to pray for the sanity of my parents while they care for them (homework, sports, etc.). Thank you Mom and Dad!!!
