So we are staying at a house for religious sisters called
Arua in Kampala, Uganda. Now only Sisters ares
supposed to stay here, yet one of the Sisters had booked Anne and I rooms here
with the rest of our Holy Cross family. Upon arrival at Arua none of our names
were on the list, but one of the Sisters we were with told the Arua worker
“can’t you we are all are Sisters?” The worker looked Anne and I up and down,
as I was wearing spandex Victoria's Secret Capri pants and Anne was in a tank
top with her bra straps showing. Beatrice was firm and repeated yes we are all
Holy Cross can’t you see their medals. (We were both wearing necklaces with a
variety of religious medals on them…none of which were the true Holy Cross
medal signifying a Sister.) Yet the worker had no chance to agree with Beatrice
as she handed over our room keys for the next few nights. Note to self I better
dress pretty conservatively the next few days as I am now Sister Megan. Oh by
the way in the room there was a sheet listing service fees for washing and one
of the options was to wash a habit. I guess I better go find one for myself to
wear, ha!
