My Birthday in Gaming, Austria!




Evidence of the mouse on my night stand





My birthday party!



Proposed site for the new missionary training School of Communion

Me and Annmarie

What a day! I woke up at 3:00 AM to a sound of something moving in my room. I was really freaked out, so I decided to turn on the light on my night stand. When I put my hand down I felt something warm and furry scurry away! By the time the light was on it was gone! So, knowing it must be some rodent, I tried to go back to bed but just couldn't knowing something was on my night stand right next to by head! 10 minutes later it was making noise again. Before I reached for the light I looked as much as I could using the light of the moon coming in the window. It was a MOUSE! I jumped up and tried to reach for a shoe, but it escaped into a small hole. This turned into a three hour escapade! I could not sleep because I was freaked out... at 5AM Sister Mary Paul woke up and we tried a sneak attack... this failed also. So she went and got mouse poisoning! But, this morning we left to go to Gaming to the Kartause for a series of meetings about the School of Communion (a.k.a. Missionary Training School).

I celebrated my birthday with Kartausen Brau with my friends from China who are studying in Austria with the help of Witness to Hope. It was a wonderful day and I'm blessed to be surrounded by so many people who love me!

Please keep praying for the development of the School of Communion!
