Correspondence

I got a letter from Sister Mary at the Missionaries of Charity house in New York today which was pretty exciting.  It was an encouraging letter, and it never hurts to get affirmation about doing something crazy like quitting your job and going to India.  Most of the info about volunteering with the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata I already knew just from reading other accounts of the experience, but it was good to have something concrete like this from someone in the know.  I now have up to date contact info  for the Sisters in Kolkata, but she said that you don't need to do any arranging before hand since they have volunteer orientation everyday at Shishu Bahvan, an orphanage there.  

At the end of the letter she writes "May our Blessed Mother be a Mother to you and prepare your hearts to seek and to find God hidden in the distressing disguise of the Poorest of the Poor."

I'll take whatever help I can get.
