Memories

Yet, why is it that something or someone is missing in me or my heart. As if I needed this feeling, love, maybe, or a person that I want to cling to or be inspired to do what I do gladly and motivate me to serve God better? I long for that soul, the fire, the fresh air and romance, maybe…ahhh…romantic love which in my case is impossible since I am a servant of God. Though just a lay person I know I can fall in love but I still am looking for the One. The perfect…..ahhh

Sister Beca, what are you thinking? Aha, your boyfriend maybe, or me?, Hehe!, Sister Paula suddenly pooped right in front of me while breathing the air in the front lawn of the community building where the sisters are planting seeds of potatoes I think. Kids from St. Victoria’s Angels orphanage helped in the process.

Ah, sister Paula, it’s you again! So, you have a crush on me! You won’t go nowhere with that feeling cause I don’t fall in love with girls plus I have never fallen in love with anyone  before just our Lord!, I added and smiling.

Aha, then this will be your first, me, hehe!, Sister Paula said and hugged me trying to kiss me on the cheek.

Sister Paula, stop it, what are you doing? Stop messing around, I said pushing the naughty sister and stopping her from kissing me again.

The sisters at the back who are planting seeds and others teaching the kids to prepare the dirt to place the tiny seeds in and bury them, saw us and laughed. It is another fun and fruitful day. I know it’ll be another fun- filled day tomorrow. I bet.

 What will the future for this community and the world? Though, I’m no saint nor superhero, I don’t intend to be one who will clean up messes of so called leaders and superiors in our organization or nations in our time. I just want to do my job as the head in charge and plant seeds for our food this coming summer season. Haaah…..that commander made sure we don’t have enough food for the coming months. What could have gone wrong if I refused him? Maybe nothing but I don’t know him and I’m new to this city, which made me think to explore and get to know the people in Favela, the sooner the better, Sister Beatrice said to herself and breathed hard while trying to wake up since it’s still five in the morning, and the cocks are already crowing for the coming morning. And it’s my day 7 here in St. Clare’s Community in Brazil. One week, huh! Haa…..I guess we have to make the next a better and fruitful one!

Someone knocks on her door and called her out for prayer. Sister Beatrice, Beca, can I come in?

Ahh….Sister Paula, is that you? I’ll be out in a minute, so…., I added but the girl insisted on talking.

Okay, hang on!, I cried opening my door.

Hi, good morning!, Sister Paula said and walked passed me, entering my room without permission.

Paula, you know that we aren’t allowed to…, I said,

To come inside each sisters room but I can and I always do it!, Hihi!. Hmm, nice, simple and not at all shabby. Aha, this is your family, how cute!, Paula said and smiled looking at my family’s photo.

Yes and please be careful with that. What can I do for you, Sister Paula?, I continued trying to remain calm and composed.

I just want to get to know you. Plus that commander, sure liked you. He never acted that way before when we were at the front gates. He was indeed new but he got surprised when he saw you, Paula added now sitting on top of my bed.

Silly, why would he be shocked to see me? Anyway, I don’t know him and if I see him again I would try to ask if we were friends in the past. You’ll be the first one to know and I will make sure of that!, I said smiling.
