We have to tell you the most important news we have learned so far: WE ARE AIDS FREE!
Now that you are all relieved to know that our sinful past has not caught up with us, we have to tell you that we just finished the first part of our process for becoming legal residents. We have had to go through a series of medical tests to prove we will not hurt the society or put a financial drain on them. Thus the most important information possible is that we will not be deported in 24 hours, we do not have AIDS. I now know that my blood type is A+ (mom you wanna check that out?), and that I would rather never darken the door of a medical facility outside of the United States again.
That done, we are off the tons of embassy trips for other documents, US embassy, Moldovan department of external affairs. . . translators (all of our documents are in English of all things! Pray for this process to be completed in the next two months.
Chuck and Cathy are blessed in Sweden. They have a beautiful home and they provided a blessed time for us. Being with them was like being in an oasis in the desert. Refreshing. Peaceful. Wonderful.
We spent the day in Stockholm. We were amazed at the history of the city as well as the design. Stockholm has buildings that span more than one thousand years. It is a series of fourteen islands connected by forty-four bridges. Sometimes you don't realize when you have moved from one island to another, and other times the bridge is merely a wonderful place to get pictures that wouldn't be possible otherwise.
