Last week I had the honor of helping Sister Nena with her garden. Although there was not much to do for the actual garden, we worked together to water holes that that the ground could be moist for the men who are going to put in another bed soon. She helped me replant my tree too because I had made the dirt moldy and did not go about it correctly the first try. After we finished watering the holes, Sister Nena invited me in her house and we talked about gardening and cooking for about half an hour.
I feel that these visits with her are very peaceful to me and brings me back down to earth. I did not expect to make friends with a nun! But I love Sister Nena :) She is very nice and she has such an incredible life story. It was amazing to hear about her childhood because it is so different from the lives children are enduring today. She is not judgmental or sour about us "kids these days", which makes it so relaxing to be around her and help and learn! I am really very excited for our net visit. Hopefully she will teach me how to cook. We have been talking about that and I hope that I can help her maw dinner one night. I am grateful for getting these experiences and cannot wait to help her out again soon.
