be_thou_my_vision Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 Everything went fine. I arrived on Sunday evening. I prayed and ate with the sisters, and then played cards for recreation! EARLY Monday morning, Sister Lois and I were off for the 3 1/2 hour car trip to Alma. I met with Sister Marysia, RSM, DO for the evaluation and it took about and hour in all. Then Sister Lois and I hopped back in the car and were back in Mishawaka for a quick dinner, then bedtime! Today, I prayed and had Mass with the sisters, was fitted for the postulant jumper (yeah!), recieved the packing list from the postulant directress, and met with the community accountant to talk about insurance (ugh). Jesus is so good. I only have one more meeting, and that is the final acceptance interview with the Superior, Sister Angela. I believe this will be in about a month. Soul of Christ, sanctify me!
stlmom Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 I think I'll light one of those monster month long votive candles in church for you tomorrow--not that I think you'll need it .
sismaria Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 How exciting to be getting so close to complete acceptance! Are there others who will be entering with you? God bless you!

alicemary Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Everytime I look at pictures of these sisters I can only think of them as the rappin nuns!! They just look so very joyful. You will make a wonderful addition to them.
stlmom Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Beautiful pictures all around! Thanks for sharing your community here on PM! Hope they continue to grow
Jennifer Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 : : Thank you for this update. I'm so happy for you Jenny. You are certainly joining a very joyful Community and you must be on God Bless.
be_thou_my_vision Posted June 22, 2007 Author Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) Thanks for all your comments! I'm glad that I can share my joy with you. On Sunday, my parents and siblings are going up to Mishawaka for the day to see the convent. My mom saw it 4 years ago, but no one else has ever been up. It should be a great day! This is part of the application process, if possible for the family. The family of a candidate is welcome to visit at any time to learn more about the life their daughter and sister is choosing. I can't wait to see what they all think! Edited June 22, 2007 by be_thou_my_vision
be_thou_my_vision Posted June 25, 2007 Author Posted June 25, 2007 Everything went wonderfully! We spent a lovely afternoon with the sisters and my family really enjoyed it.
