24 NOVEMBER 2011 VOW RENEWAL, LIFE GALLERY, THANKSGIVING!
On Wednesday lasr, our monthly meeting for the women was led by Charlie and it was well attended. At the weekend, a few of us made a quiet day and had our Renewal of Vows during Sunday Evening Prayer as three Sisters were away on Monday.
Ana continues to come for Albanian class. Beginning this week, she is employed in the afternoons and evenings at a new Five Star Hotel that has opened in the city centre. They need someone with English. She is very happy about this. She awaits results about two posts for which she has applied. Employment is very slow all over the country.
Yesterday, we had a visit from Pattie and Laurie, two Peace Corps. volunteers. Pattie had been referred by our friend of last year, Mike, as she is interested in the issue of Anti-Trafficking. Laurie is involved in tourism. We were very happy to welcome them to lunch with us and we hope to have ongoing contct.
Here, the weather has turned quite cold and people say - "The snow is near!" There is no trace of it these days and, on the whole, it is cold and dry, good for this time of the year!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I would like to wish all Americans a great day, especially those away from home! This includes Sisters Brigid and Yvette and maybe others at the Generalate whom I have not met! Also, Catherine and Mike, probably back in Idaho, and those who have gone to America to celebrate with family. I can include here the five Brice Corkonians who went out at the weekend! A joyful and blessed day to each and all.
