First conversation with a priest

Hello! I just wanted to share my joy because after a series of setbacks mostly having to do with my anxiety, I had a talk with a priest about my wish to convert to Orthodoxy (I was a cradle Roman Catholic, left the church and became an atheist for years, then I experimented with occultism to some degree and recently decided to commit to converting to Orthodoxy, which came after a four-year long period of consideration) and he recommended me some texts that I could read as an introduction, to take things little by little. Additionally, he gave me three little icons.

Overall, the conversation gave me lots of joy because he was very kind and patient in explaining things to me and it was amazing to see that my anxiety had in the end just been that, anxiety.

I just wanted to share this because it made me very happy and I am glad to begin my learning process step by step.
