Hello

WelcomeSusana. This is a wonderful site.I hope you enjoy it as much as i have. God bless you and your family. Your sister in Christ...Elizabeth..yellow rose.

Hi Elizabeth, this is Joanna. I had a problem figuring out the IM and you were not on line by the time I go t to seeing just who was on. I hope emailing you works. I would love to chat or probably emailing would be better if we can work that out. I have been a convert since 2003 as a Catechumen for two years and Chrismating in 2005 on Lazarus Saturday. Once you come to Orthodoxy there is nothing to look back to. I am glad to find someone my own age also. I don\'t know the first thing about Canada, except it (Prince Edward Island) must be a wonderful place to live. I will enjoy getting to know you if possible. I was taken with your Yellow Rose ID. It is a Texas thing and that is where I was born. I now live in Oklahoma City and I love it here. I attend St Elijah Antiochian Orthodox Church. e are Pan-Orthodox and have several ethnic sub groups in our Church. We are predominately Lebanese and getting ready for our annual Bake Sale. We call it \"Kitchen Evangelizing\". I hope we work out one of these ways of communicating, Hugs ~ Joanna

Hello Susana ~ Joanna ~ for the Myrrhbearer here. I don\'t know if we are emailing or just how the OC works yet. I am excited to find another Myrrhbearer. I Chrismated with a Mary of Bethany and my God mother is also claiming St Joanna as her name saint. I am very new here and not to up on all the technology but willing to learn. That makes the OC a great place to play. I hope you will respond, Hugs ~ Joanna

Myrrhbearers: From memory, at least 3 Marys, a Salome, a Martha and a Joanna. Also irreverently, but not inaccurately, known as the Spice Girls. (Think about it!) :grin:

Susana, I\'ve actually been to your parish in York, PA. I was there one Sunday in the summer. Your choir is excellent. I also really liked the priest too. Gerald

Thanks to you all for the nice welcome. I hope to get to know at least some of you better although I will probably not be on as often as I would like. Homeschooling 3 boys takes a lot of time and energy! Susana :*)
