Whew!
The General Chapter is finished! It was an exhausting and enlightening two weeks of meetings. The Holy Spirit was with us and it was heartening to see how He moved and flowed among as we prayed and shared and made some major decisions.
You will probably soon read about this elsewhere on our website - we elected a new General Council! Sr. Pat Nyquist was elected our Prioress General. Her new council is made up of Sisters Ruth Elaine, Cheryl, and Dawn Annette. Tomorrow they will be officially installed and we will promise them our obedience and our support.
That is all the news I have for now. Thanks for all your prayers. They helped! I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend! God bless each of you with the same.

Sounds like a great group! I’m sure you guys are tired! Hope you aren’t getting all the rain we keep hearing about. I visualize all the Iowa rain running downhill to Missouri! Hugs and much love, Kathy and Joe

Hey there! My aunt said she was part of the council now. Last night she called finding out specific dates when my brother will leave to stay there and she only talked to my dad, but he told us.
Can you believe that it’s been 5 years since I stayed there? I miss Clyde so much and I was going to go with my mom and my brothers to pick him up, but now I don’t know if that will work…I’m having a lot of problems with my boss right now.
Anyways, hopefully I’ll see you guys soon. God Bless you all! -Sarah
