the first week

Today was the end of the initial first year student orientation. There was ample oppurtunity to meet with wonderful people face to face including His Grace Bishop Tikhon, Father Alexander Atty, and many others. We have been attending the services all week which has been, and will of course continue to be, an immense blessing. The returning students will all be present with us tomorrow and we will partake in a retreat planned by the seminary faculty. Everyday I am here I am so grateful for the guidance and care that has been provided me over the years by so many of the people I love. Thank you all soooo much. - C
