(994) Zelda flies to USA

This is an ongoing series, read (749), (361), (383), (401), (487), (520), and (9).

After months of uncertainty and waiting, she will leave for America at the end of this month. No one knows if she will be gone for six months or six weeks. She changed her mind rather rapidly over four areas. She believed that if God wants her to go to London, she would have discharged all her obligations by now. Instead, she decided to go to meet her internet heart throb. It will be supervised by this man's pastor. She will be staying with an older woman from his church.

Interestingly, since it could be a short vacation, the idea that she could not clear her bank loans does not bother her. As long as she could meet the installments and her son's living expenses, she feels she is still being a responsible person going for a break. If she could work in evangelism for his church and be paid a stipend, she will go for it. In fact, that directly contradicts her earlier stand of not willing to leave her home country.

Much earlier, she was adamant that a man ought to go to his intended's country to seek her hand in marriage.  Now she thinks that it is OK for her go first, then if they decide to marry, they will make a visit back to her country after they tie the knot.

Anyway, I am pleased that she changed her mind over all her stubborn ideas. You may think I am a naive person. Despite millions of internet scams, I have come across two couples who met over the net: an American man met a country woman of mine, he flew over here and met her family, she traveled back with him on a fiancee visa to be wed in his home church. My cousin in Canton met his wife on the internet, they courted during the week ends and they are happily married now. I sure hope all will go well with Zelda. She seemed to have checked of everything I could think of about him and his church. It is a good thing she is already 47 years old and not 27. Age and experience would work in her favor as she has never been to America before.
