First Phone Call

After playing phone tag with Sister Kathleen for about three weeks, I finally reached her! She was warm, friendly, energetic and enthusiastic. She has an Irish accent with a slight Appalachian twang, if you can believe it. I immediately felt right at home speaking with her. I had caught her at a busy time, but look forward to speaking with her again sometime during the coming week.

It sounds like the sisters have a very busy life, and have a lot planned for the summer. We will have two groups of volunteers during my stay, which is very exciting. With the groups I will get to do painting and other construction work which means... carhart overalls and blue jumpsuit!!! Get excited, as there will certainly be pictures.

I also learned that I will have internet during the summer, which is exciting (and the reason why I started this blog). Stay tuned for an update on my next conversation with Sr. Kathleen!

Howdy

In just under three weeks (June 10), I will depart for the lovely land down South. I will be spending approximately seven weeks with the Glenmary Sisters in Frenchburg, KY. The purpose of this blog is to make updates on my adventures. I hope to update the blog about once per week. Enjoy!
