My wife's nightmare.
Monday, May 11.
Hi Sweetie, I arrived safely at St. John's. The Church is a lot more complicated than I thought it was from the pictures. I might have to stay for 3 weeks instead of two... I'll keep you posted.

Hey babe, We got started and its going slowly to begin with, but we're figuring things out. The services here are wonderful, so peaceful... the singing is just like on the CD! Give Kenzie a hug for me.

Hi Peg, We're pretty close to finishing sheetrocking. Its long, hard days. Compline is such a comforting way to end the day. I got a little time to talk to Fr. Meletios, the new abbott. What a beautiful spirit he has! Miss you. Tell Kenz "HI".

Hi, We finished the rock and started taping. Sunday's services almost unearthly, I felt like it was truly the Kingdom on earth. Fr. Meletios' homily pierced my soul. I've gotten to know some of the Brothers here and they are such a joy to work with and be around. I pray things are well at home. Give my greetings to our daughter.
love, s-p

Dear Silouana, Our work is progressing with God's blessings. The Church is such a beautiful sacred space. I wept for joy when we finished the taping and I knew it would be perfect. I went to confession with Fr. Meletios and it was so freeing and my soul flew with the wings of the dove. I wish I could explain it to you. Perhaps when we come for the feast day and you get to meet him you will see what I mean. Anyway, please give a kiss of peace to Mary McKenzie for me.
In Christ,

Dear Sister in Christ, Christ is Risen! Alethios Anesti! It is with great joy in the risen Lord that I bring you greetings from the Fathers and Brothers of St. John's. I fervently pray for you and Mary every night during my vigil before the icon of St. John. There is much work here and I might have to stay another 4-5 weeks (or more) in order to complete the task that God has ordained me to accomplish here. Please send my 300 knot prayer rope FedEx overnight.
Eternally your brother in Christ,
Paul
