It's Official!
Mood:  celebratory
Well, I officially made it through the ceremony to become a candidate. I'm really excited for what the future has in store for me with this community. They seem to genuinely want me there, and I really do feel like I really belong there too! I declined to give some sort of speech a couple of times because I was nervous. Perhaps I'll learn how to do that when the next time comes around.

The Sisters that I live with surprized me. One of them thought she wasn't going to be able to make it, but she came back early from where she'd been. I am glad that she was able to join us. Also the formation teams from all over the USA were there and get to see the ceremony. I was very happy to see some of those Sisters there as well.

I forgot to take the thing that I wanted to give the vocation director with me today, but I'll give it to her the next time I see her. I wanted her to have something special for walking with me for as long as she has.

Pray for me. Peace and God bless!
