Rob received the official letter from the Bishop today. I was actually on my way out, in the car and everything, when I checked the mail. I saw a letter from the Diocese, turned the car around, and went inside to call Rob to see if I was allowed to open it. It reads,
Dear Robert,
With the advice of the Commission on Ministry, I am pleased to notify you that I have named you as a Postulant for Holy Orders, in the Diocese of South Carolina, effective January 18, 2007.
Faithfully Yours,
Edward L. Salmon, Jr.
Bishop of South Carolina XIII
We are even more excited, now! The next step is waiting for the Bishop to call and set up an interview to discuss seminaries. I know that it is only with God's help that Rob and I are able to be so patient. God has begun a good work in us, and we know that He will continue to affirm it. Praise God!

It still makes me sad to think that I will have only had one year to spend time with you and Rob. However, I know that whatever God puts together will last forever. That means that there should be no sadness as I know our friendship will remain. Blessings to you as you prepare for this journey. I look forward to getting updates throughout your expereicne.
