Well on Holy Saturday, I completed 2 of my sacraments!!!! I am so happy! I chose my Aunt Bernie to be my sponsor because of her strong faith and ties to the Church! It is so amazing that I have finished. I was pregnant when I started the RCIA classes and there were many times I had to drag myself to class because I was so exhausted. I made it to every class, except for maybe two when I just had the baby. The classes were so inspiring, and I grew so much closer to God! I am so thankful to have met Francis, for she kept everyone on their toes, lol, she is such a strict religious director. I am also so blessed to have Father Terry Brennan in my life, he is so amazing, the way he presents the homily on Sundays, is breathtaking. We are also so fortunate to have a new priest by the name of Denis. He is from Uganda, and he is such a nice man. I am going to miss going to my religious classes on Friday nights, but now I have more time to get to our weekly bible study on Thursdays!!!! I am so thankful to the Lord for guiding me, and allowing me to become closer to our Saviour, and also thankful that Iam so much more involved in the Church. I have a few pictures of my Confirmation/ Holy Eucharist celebration on here, but unfortunately something was wrong with the flash on my camera, so they are not very good :{ The mass was amazing, long, but beautiful. The Easter Vigil. It is held all by candlelight, everyone is issued a candle, and it is lit after the lighting of the Paschal Candle, which is lit by the bonfire outside, as Father prays. All the readings are done by candlelight, it is soooo beautiful. I can't wait for next year when my baby will be older, and will enjoy it as much as the older two did!
