Mission Trip
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: nothing
This Sunday I will be leaving to go on a mission trip in Cleveland, Ohio. I'll be working with other volunteers and living in a community setting. I'm really excited about it! The volunteer mission trip is called "Stretch Your Heart" and it's sponsored by the Sisters of Notre Dame. I'm going to be helping out in one of the schools that the Sisters run.

I'll return on Saturday. Please pray that it goes well. I've flown before, but it makes me a little nervous sometimes. I hope that both of my carry-ons will fit on the plane. I've got a bookbag (filled with clothing) and a sleeping bag that I hope I can just carry onto the plane instead of having to check anything.

I'm going down to Kentucky today to give my new boss some of the things she wanted me to fill out for my new job. (My new boss is a Sister of Notre Dame). Pray that that goes well as well. I'll start working with the 24-30 month old children starting mid-June.

This Saturday, I'll get to see the first Sister that I ever knew. She has a big role in my vocation story. She's a Dominican Sister (St Catherine de'Ricci congregation in PA). As I said, this is the first sister I ever knew. She was the Director of Religious Education at the church that I went to growing up. She left about 5 years ago (2001) and that's when I started discerning a call to Religous Life. I'm soooo excited about seeing her too! I haven't seen her in like forever.
