We have arrived safely after an uneventful trip, but with increasing checks and security for heading to the USA.
We are staying at the World Mission Prayer League guest house in Minneapolis, and since their briefing course finished today, we delayed our arrival until after dinner and a bit of shopping to get a room prepared for us. Back to driving a car (a rental), and we headed first to the Mall of America by the airport for some dinner. Most of our shopping was at a Walgreens on the way home. Anya keeps saying, “Everything is so cheap [inexpensive] here!” Some of our favorite toiletry brands were on sale or in clearance–just for us!
I found out that my sister arrives here tomorrow! I did not know that! She served for 18 years as a physician in Pakistan through the World Mission Prayer League and goes back every year for 2 months (though this last year, she could only get a visa for 1 month). There is a meeting tomorrow about the hospital, which I found out she’ll be attending.
Off to sleep as it is 3:10 am in Swedish time.
With blessings,
Beth
