Visiting the Visitors

Well, my visit went very well, despite my nervousness. I spent the entire weekend either laughing or praying. unfortunately, I have no pictures to share because my camera broke right before I left. Here is the website, in case you want to learn more about the order: http://parishvisitorsisters.org
I'm still processing everything that happened, but I thought I'd share a few little bits.

-Apparently, New Jersey is the same size as the Holy Land. I heard this fact 20 times over the weekend.
-Convent aerobics consist of a mile walk to get the mail, 20 genuflections, and countless trips up to the third story.
-The Motherhouse had a wrap around porch that I loved- on the 3rd story! It also had a balcony that you could watch the sunset from (if we weren't in prayer)
-A group of 10 novices and postulants is the happiest group of people you will ever meet. Believe me.
-I will never make the Olympics for horseshoes. In fact, I'm fairly certain I will never win a single game of horshoes, but that is good by me.
-A Nigerian Nun picking up Italian phrases makes everyone laugh.
-Kamikaze Uno has got to be on my list of my Top Ten Favorite Games.
And last...
-Even sisters yawn during the rosary.
