So Monday was a great day! We made wonderful progress, that is until bed time. :) We got up had breakfast, and she eats so good! The hostesses are great to her in the restaurant here in the hotel. We left for AIT at 8:30 AM. Jase gave Maycee a blessing last night, and she was felling better in the morning, fever had broke, but the cough was still around a little bit. So we decided not to go see the Dr. AIT went so smooth. Couldn't believe it! We were done and out of there by 10:30. It takes a half hour to drive there, and then parking. :)

After AIT we went and visited the Temple. Wow what an amazing feeling, just on the grounds. We didn't get to go in, it was closed, and Jill and Wen needed to get back to the hotel for the other family. But is was great to just walk the grounds for a minute. Such peace. We had lunch at Subway of all places. Ready for a change of pace. Maycee ate a whole turkey sandwich. Well her and Jaycee have something in common!! :) Then we went shopping to a "flawless" Jade shop. Very nice things. While we were there Maycee was on a roll, it was like someone slipped her a bag of sugar.....she was like that at AIT as well???? Not the girl I was used to seeing, she was bouncing off the walls! But we had a great time. We got a lot of shopping done! yeah!! After that we went to the 101!! It was way cool, we went up 91 floors!! It is the tallest building in the world! Amazing experience. We spent 2 hours there, and then went out for Mongolian BBQ with the Chapples, Jill, and Wen! We had a blast!!

When we got back to the room, we started making heads or tails of all the suitcases, stuff, and things of Maycee's to bring home. Maycee actually let Jason get her in the tub, wash her hair, and help her get ready for bed, it was nice. She finally has some trust in him. It was hard at first, they have a hard time relating to males, because all the females do the raising in this culture.

When we were getting ready for bed though, she had a melt down. I think it is finally sinking in that she isn't going back to the orphanage, and that she will never see her friends again. She always pretends like she is talking to them on the cell phone. :)

We are excited to be coming home soon, 1 day left here, then we head home on Wednesday!! Ya! Will miss the people here, Jill, Wen, and everything about Taiwan, except for the Stinky Tofu!! But we are excited to get home, and move on to the next chapter of our book. Again love you all, and thanks for the prayers! They are defiantly being answered!
