September 12, 2019, I was sent to join our International Tertianships Program in the Trinity Province, Philippines South. It was a blessed year of integration formation. Past life experiences, God’s work/ training, community life, and apostolate ministry experiences. All of these elements came in great varieties and were further diversified by the pandemic. The Tertianship program strengthened and enriched my life as a Holy Spirit Missionary Sister. It was very difficult to come back to the USA on time for my Perpetual Professional due to the Pandemic Covid-19; therefore; I professed my Final Vows with the other seven international Tertians in the Philippines. I am glad that I made it back to the USA safely on September 7, 2020.

I appreciated the warm welcoming home from all the sisters here in the USA. I had my quarantine for 14 days in the Convent of the Holy Spirit, and after that, we had a Thanksgiving Mass on September 27th when I received my profession ring. In conclusion, I have now joined my Community members in Epworth, Iowa.
