From Caterpillars to Butterflies

Everyone is just eagerly and patiently waiting for 'THE TIME'. Anyways, they allow for Express Baptism in China (2 weeks) BUT the priest will still insist on some kind of instruction. Especially if you don't understand Chinese, the priest will not put you through the Chinese RCIA IF there is even one in the first place. But there is some kind of instruction. Strangely, some people 'fail' and have to re-do the instruction thingy. I got a friend who had to go through the course twice before he could get baptized. The other thing about Chinese baptism is that they will grab any old fella who happened to be wandering around the church grounds. That's a 'godparent' for you. You can also be sure that you won't see much of him or her after that either :-D Ha ha. Which is why I chose to get baptized HERE because my lovely Godparents are already waiting....patiently waiting even before I left Singapore for Beijing :-)
