Touched

Yet another busy day. Had been finishing the last of things to buy today that includes a new digital camera(Casio Exilim with 512MB SD card ^_^), a cooler and a mouse for my laptop. However we went to a special place before going home. What's the place? Well it is the convent where the Carmelite Order of Sisters live.

For your information, in case you don't know, the Carmelite Order of Sisters are a branch of order belonging to the Roman Catholic church. These sisters are pretty much the same as normal sisters you would know. The exception is, they are relatively forbidden to venture out of the convent. This means they live a secluded life. The public is however allowed to ask prayer request from them.

You might ask why we made the trip. Well, its been kind of a tradition to make a trip there each time a family member is going to make a journey, in this case, me. Its my first time going there however.

We arrived to a small building complex on top of a small hill. My parents had visited here a few times in the past. We had to ring a bell before we are greeted to a sister's voice from behind a revolving panel(They are forbidden to have face to face contact except in special cases). I chatted to the sister on my request of prayer for my safe journey. Even though I couldn't see her face, I could feel her kindness. We bade farewell after giving her some cakes we bought for the whole convent(Probably 21 sisters lived there).

A good day indeed.
