Just a little follow up about 'cousin'. He has currently stopped replying to my emails. I assume the best though, for his sake. He is busy. But more likely the elders have got to him again. So many things can get in the way of people responding quickly. Especially for Jw's - who are already reluctant to respond in most cases, though I don't know if that is the case in your situation.
Here's hoping that whomever you are waiting on will soon respond. Or if not, that you are finding other good things to occupy your time as it passes.
Namaste
