Convent Q & A

Sorry for the delay in posting, life has been very busy around here.  After returning from Thanksgiving on Saturday we helped decorate the house for Christmas.  It was an all day process that included most of the residents of our house and about 20 of the high school students.  On the plus side the house looks great and very ready for Christmas. Then since we were gone for two and a half days I had homework and stuff to catch up on. 

Our next round of questions again comes from the Mrs.

Question: Do you regret not getting the Jesus Homeboy tattoo? (There's still time, if you do)
Answer: I can't say that I do. I'll keep in mind that there's still time.

Question: Is the food good?
Answer: Yes.  We have a nice Peruvian lady who comes during the week and cooks our food since everyone is so busy, and she does a very nice job.  On weekends we get to taste a little more variety because whoever is cooking generally cooks food from the culture she grew up in.  You can tell that my family doesn't necessarily stick to any particular culture when it comes to food since the two times I've cooked once we had Italian and the other time we had Mexican....

Question: What has been the most outstanding/memorable/fulfilling experience you've had to date?
Answer: This is a hard one. We have been very blessed in the three months we have been here because we've gotten to see the Pope, a Sister from the General Council visited to give a workshop, and the former Rector Major of the Salesians came for the day.  We've also been to Philadelphia, Indianapolis, and New York City.  So I can't pick one.  The top on there are Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular and the National Catholic Youth Conference.  The Spectacular was absolutely spectacular.  I'm pretty sure my mouth was open the entire time. Definitely put me in the Christmas mood.  National Catholic Youth Conference was very reassuring in the need for my vocation.  While there we got to see so many young people absolutely on fire with their faith and then to crown it all, they had adoration one night. 25,000 people dead silent as they adore Jesus.  Absolutely beautiful.
