From host mother 01

Dear Miho,

Hello,
I am Reve', the host mother whom you will be staying with in July. We look forward to meeting you and showing you our culture and helping you experience Minnesota during your stay.
If you email back to me please email revesmail@daytonmn.net not this email as it is at my place of employment and I don't use it often.
When you come please bring some shoes for walking as we like to go walking almost every day. The weather will be warm but we can get an occasional cool day, so I would advise bringing a light jacket or sweater. Also bring a swimming suit if we go boating and swimming in a lake. We will also be hosting an exchange student from Ghana West Africa and she will come sometime in August so there may be some overlap while you are here with us. You will have your own bedroom and bathroom, we will teach you how to use the washing machine to launder your clothing. Our house is big and now very empty because our two sons moved out and Craigs mother who lived with us for 10 years passed away in February.
Craig told me that he gave you our address so you can look up our house on the satalite. We have a large property in the country but are close to shopping areas. We have bike trails and walking trails across the road from our home.
I will tell you alittle about myself, I am 49 years old and work as a nurse at the children's hospital in Minneapolis.
I love to be around children, so I teach a Sunday school class on Sunday before our church service. I am transitioning in life to having adult children that are no longer in the home, and we have only Rachel at home now. I like to garden and have some nice flower gardens in our yard, I am also a good cook but probably cook very different than what you are accustom. We would like to try some of your food and we will introduce you to some of our foods. We do not eat alot of rice but in the summer eat a lot of fresh fruit, salads and grill meat on our Barbique grill. (like chicken, beef ect) I like to bike ride and walkl for exercise, I also like to read and spend time every day reading my Bible. We are a Christian family, and We do attend church weekly as a family and would like very much if you would attend church with us on Sunday. I like Hymns for music, a Hymn is a song that was written to sing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We will have you take a van that the college that you will attend to the classes that you will attend. Rachel just got her drivers liscense so she may be giving you some rides to the location that you will be picked up to go to Bethel.
We look forward to meeting you and hope that we can plan a fun time for you when you stay with us.

Your american Host mother
