On August 2nd Patti found out that Hong Ying was in the United States for the Yangchun Reunion. She had not known that the reunion was going to happen (hadn't heard anything via email etc). So it was wonderful that she found out because Hong Ying was scheduled to fly back to China on the 4th. Apparently Hong Ying had been asking for "Dong Dong" (Bryce's Chinese nickname) frequently. It must have been a puzzlement to Hong Ying why the Hoffers weren't there. They dashed down to Longview on Sunday after Sunday School (they were substituting and couldn't get out of it). It was funny later because when I mentioned we might go to China in 4 years for the next reunion, he said "Then I'll be too old for her to puff up my cheeks. I don't like it when she puffs my cheeks." He did well. Hugged her, let her "puff " his cheeks, and sit on her lap. And next time we need to learn more Chinese.
