One Foot In

Wednesday morning D had to go to the seminary for what he thought to be an appointment with Dr. W-the-English. Surprise, surprise... it wasn't just 'an appointment' rather... the Orientation day for the new students!

When I came back home at noon (I work only mornings on Wednesdays), I was surprised that D hadn't come back yet since his 'appointment' was supposed to be at 9am. At 3pm I got a bit nervous: "did something happen?", "is something wrong?". I called our Russians friends: was he there? No. Then I called the seminary (it's a small school, everybody knows everybody), where a professor who recognized my voice said: "Oh yes, D is registering right now!" Waaa?! I was so surprised and in shock that I started laughing and babbling on the phone "Ah good, well, that's nice... eh, thank you! Ok, bye!"

D was registering? He was going to study! REALLY?! Thank you Lord... finally!

I couldn't help crying (I cry very easily).

Two hours later he was still not back though... I was still thinking that he was only there for an appointment in the morning. How come he wasn't calling me to say he was late? So at 5pm I called again (oh yeah, now everybody will know me as the "desperate wife" aha), after talking to a lady who told me that "everybody" was there (except me!), D called me back and explained all that was going on. He was as traumatised as I was, having spent the day following the "Welcome committee" and listening to different speeches (couldn't remember a word though - must have been really long and/or boring). He came pick me up a couple of minutes later to go to the potluck BBQ together. The food was yummy. There we met with other friends: Canadians Anglophones, from Venezuela, China, German origins, Sudan and Ethiopia... and of course our Russian friends who were already waiting for us!

So, after two years of waiting, Don Magnifico (another name for my Darling) is finally going to start his studies at the seminary. However there are still some questions unanswered: we don’t know if the church of France will be willing to finance his studies. And what if they don’t? Are we going to transfer to England anyway? Or will D loose his credits in the wind?

Lord, help us! (And thank you for what has already been done).

Glory be to God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
