First, I have received my acceptance letter!!! Yay!!! It's official now! I spent most of Christmas break just enjoying the fact that I was accepted and not worrying about the details of when and where and with whom. It was a wonderful break! I was able to go back to Illinois and visit family and friends. As well as spend time with the sisters at the Ruma convent.
Since I have been back, the ball had begun rolling with everything. I have started meetings with my candidate director and and started the transition from telling my vocation director everything to telling her everything. It's difficult, mostly because I won't be having to face-to-face meetings.
Leadership has been busy finding a welcoming community and a sister companion. Both of these things have been finalized!
A welcoming community is a small community of sisters that I will be living with during my candidacy. There will be 3 sisters and myself living together. I'm excited, yet nervous about this. I have lived on my own the 6 months and it will be strange moving in with people I have never lived with. My commute to work will get longer and will include a highway that is known to have bad traffic. All of this will be new.
A sister companion is a sister who will be a confidant during formation. She will be someone I can go to and talk to about various things happening. My sister companion will not be a sister living in Wichita so this, too, will be a long distance relationship. I am working hard to trust leadership on this decision.
This is all for now. I have a meeting Tuesday with my candidate director and a meeting Thursday with my welcoming community. Please say a prayer...there is a chance I may be asked to discontinue my blog.
