We are in Guangzhou!

Sorry that I didn't post last night, but I had started and then forgot to finish. So, what happened today was that we went to the Physical Examination office so the doctors could make sure that Jon is healthy. He had to get a shot and we think that he has gotten a shot before so he really screamed.
Right now my mom has a meeting in our guide's room and Jon is not having a tantrum since she is gone. But the trick is, you have to distract Jon.
Our group went shopping today. We got Jon a toy today and he likes it alot. He is playing with it right now. It was kind of annoying though, because the clerks didn't understand what we were saying when we wanted to get this one "Dancing Car". So, we just left.
At the store and on the bus to the store, my stomach ached. As we got in the store, I started feeling worse and worse. Eventually, I felt like I was going to faint and my stomach really hurt. I was sweating too. So, we quickly got what we needed and headed to the bus so I wouldn't totally fall over. On the bus, my mom, grandma, and I all realaized that I had low blood sugar. I was given some cookies and apple juice and felt better almost immediately. It was weird, because I have gotten that only one other time. We were all assuming that it was from different foods and possibly lack of water. It was awful.
It is nice to be back with families. Because, in Hefei we were obviously by ourselves so we couldn't relate to any of the families. But, here, we can. For example, one family's baby has tantrums like Jon and they say to leave him be. Another family's baby doesn't want to be held. It is nice to be able to talk to people about our problems.
Here is the verse of the day. He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. Proverbs 10:17
