#which wasn't caused by the fact that Irene knew boys from church almost always get Jeb's approval

[100talberts]

Irene behaved quite oddly today!! As soon as Jeb came home, Irene met him at the door and began to talk with him!!! She and Jeb had hardly spoken before, so it’s definitely unusual behavior!!!

Jeb wasn’t fooled for a minute!!! He could tell Irene wanted something and was just trying to butter him up!!! That was also strange, because Irene had never been so hesitant and around-the-bush about her desires before!!! For a minute, I hoped that Irene had finally begun to embrace a shy, docile spirit!!!

Then a young man arrived!!! He introduced himself as Jin Maro and told us he was interested in courting Irene!!! Jeb remembered him from church last Sunday: he was new there, but already well educated on scripture and God’s plans for our lives!!!

Jeb agreed to the courtship, but warned that he would keep a special eye on Jin to make sure he was truly fit to one day be Irene’s headship!!!! The last thing we would ever want is to marry off our daughter to an unworthy man!!!

Irene thanked Jeb graciously and promised that Jin wouldn’t disappoint!!! It’s so strange that she talks as if she knows him well, but I’m just glad she’s finally happy with a suitor!!! Amen!!!
