Since I've now been out here for over 2 months, I'd like to share with you some of the things that may be said and done as a missionary that may never happen in the real world...
-"What are we going to do with this huge donation of cocktail sauce?"
-Humming the Tantum Ergo in the office.
-"How and when would we have watched that commercial you're talking about?"
-"I guess some guy from the Vatican is coming over for breakfast this morning."
-"Did somebody try to break in or was that just the radiator?"
-Genuflecting before entering a doorway because we're used to genuflecting before walking by our chapel doorway.
-"We could get curtains that match the papal flag!"
-"Wow, there's a lot of crucifixes on that wall."
-Turning a file cabinet into a desk because there weren't enough desks for everyone who's in the office on some Mondays.
-"Someone used me to make a drug deal today."
-"I feel so guilty about sleeping in till 9 on my weekend off."
-Cleaning the kitchen multiple times a day and yet it's still never clean.
-"Can we send you home with some bread loaves and pastries?" (to a volunteer)
-"No, I'm not a cop. And no, I'm not wearing a wire, that's just my scapular."
We have a lovely newsletter that was recently put together by an awesome alumni, and as soon as it's on the website, I'll send you a link to it. Also, I was pictured in the Archdioceasan Spanish newspaper, and as soon as I figure out which machine I can scan that in on, I'll share that with you as well. :)
