Dear Vreni,
Thank you so much for sending me the prayer from your Confirmation prayer book, Total Dedication to the Virgin Mother of God. When I read it, I could feel its strength and beauty—it’s the most powerful prayer to Mary I’ve ever read. Each word feels full of devotion, and it makes me feel as though we’re praying together, even with all these miles between us. I’ve tucked it carefully into my own prayer book, and every time I pray it, I’ll think of you and our friendship.
Life here at Camp Littlemore has been both busy and comforting since I returned. Mini is still my faithful companion, and she’s made her little path in the yard from all our walks. Sister Mary Claire has been busy teaching catechism at St. Mary’s and helping Father LeRoy in his work. She’s so dedicated, and it’s lovely to see how much everyone appreciates her.
There’s something special I wanted to tell you—Judy sewed a little Swiss Cross onto my overalls, just for you! I plan to put them on whenever I sit down to write you a letter. It’s a little reminder of Switzerland that I’ll keep with me here. And Sister Mary Claire gave me a Swiss radio, which sometimes catches music from your side of the world! It’s a small piece of Switzerland right here with me.
My chores haven’t changed much—gathering eggs for the Breakfast Club and caring for the animals. Everything looks fresh and clean from a recent rain, and even the gravel road seems new. It’s the same routine, but everything feels a little different, as if I’m seeing it all with new eyes.
Please write soon and tell me all about what’s been happening with you since I left. I miss you dearly and can’t wait to hear from you.
With all my love,
Kathy
