You must be both excited and a little nervous. I know I would be. But I must say I feel regretful for just having befriended you recently. I wish I had done it sooner. I don't suppose you'll have a computer there (Or did I already ask that?)? [/quote] Not a personal one. AnneLine and I are figuring out how she will be the go-between so I can stay in touch a bit without putting my community's details out in public. Send messages to her and she'll get them to me. I want to see what you eventually choose to do- all in good time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post marigold 1,755 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Forgive me if this is a bit brief... I got back from the embassy half an hour ago and have been emailing everyone madly. They granted me a visa. It will be a couple of days before my passport is returned by courier... I'm waiting to hear back from Mother as to whether Sunday or Monday is better for them. But right now I'm going back to bed - I got next to no sleep last night and all the excitement's tired me out! Very happy. Glory to God. mantellata, linnie, catherineofsiena and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ACS67 131 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Congratulations Marigold. You may have covered this elsewhere but are you Greek, Antiochian, or Russian Orthodox? I'm just curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

[quote name='ACS67' timestamp='1335784979' post='2425133'] Congratulations Marigold. You may have covered this elsewhere but are you Greek, Antiochian, or Russian Orthodox? I'm just curious. [/quote] Thanks! Actually I don't think I have mentioned it, it's another one of my pet peeves - are you Irish Catholic, Italian Catholic or Polish Catholic? I was brought up under the See of Antioch, and the monastery is definitely American with Russian heritage.

I hope so. Keep those prayers coming. [quote name='Lisa' timestamp='1335789009' post='2425155'] Glory to God! I'm so happy for you, Marigold!! Could you PM me your future address?

I would love to get your messages, I mean that (though I bet you'll have as much fictional free time as me! ), so if you find out her details, she can pass messages between us. I know it's a bit awkward but it was a blessing when she offered as it saves me trying to remember who I've given out details to and lets me have that all-important anonymous space to figure out monastic life.
