On our way back from Kon Tum to Pleiku, Mr. Minh took us to a school for young minority girls studying to become nuns. This school is the only facility of its kind with all minority girls in attendance.
They leave home just out of high school and stay at this school studying to become a nun for two years without ever returning home to see their families. After completing this school, they are then assigned to a parish/church.
It was obvious that Mr. Minh has visited here often. They were very happy to see us. One senior girl dressed in black was the spokesperson for the group. She spoke very good English and presented herself very well.
They sang lovely songs to us and shared their enthusiasm for life. Gary decided to liven things up a bit by demonstrating with them his special hand shake.
Soon, they were literally lining up to demonstrate this new handshake with Gary.
Before we left, we all joined hands and prayed together. It was obvious to us that these fine young ladies will be a true blessing when they return to their native people in the service of God.
