Anya Is Counting Down

[brightsadness]

13 days to go...

Hi Everyone,

I can't believe it but August is finally here. Everything is given away or in storage. All my stuff for the monastery is bought and packed. On Wednesday, We'll start the drive for a week long family reunion in the Berkshires. Most of them are sticking around for the entrance ceremony.

I haven't been around much but all of you are much in mu heart and prayers. Especially those who have or will be entering soon.

pray for me,
Anya

Dear Anya I'm praying for you,
I think your vocation it is really a wonderful one, I love so much the Eastern Tradition and the way they praise God, so you'll be surely in my mind and in my intentions.
And.... I hope you will be able to play the harp even in the Monastery!!!!

God bless you

[Sister Andrew]

Prayers for you and your family and community!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for your prayers and support. I can't believ that one week from today I'll be a postulant. Right now I'm going to ride a buike to try to work off some of the wonderful food my family is stuffing me with.

pictures of the entrance will be up on the community web-site eventually. I don't know how often they tend to it. More from me soon. I love you all and am so grateful for your faith and witness.

with love in Christ,

your little sister,
Anya
