Two successive days made me so very busy at the giftshop. Reason? A flock of online orders flooded our giftshop inbox and so, I needed to work on Sunday afternoon and the whole morning of today to be able to ship orders from these online customers. I guess they are all rushing for their Easter gifts to their loved ones as evidenced by their request to include inside their package a gift message card.
I was just too glad to find two guest volunteers from Duke University in North Carolina who came last night in a group fro a weeklong open retreat at the monastery. It has been three years now since the administration of Duke university had been sending groups of students yearly for their immersion kind of thing to our community life. These students are just too willing to inculturate themselves with whatever culture my community has. The feedbacks of students who already came over in their emails proved only one thing: people out there are just too curious about what monastic culture and life is all about.

The two 'angels' who helped me with the sorting of items and packing them for USPS shipment for tomorrow were Adam, a 21 year-old Slovak and Erinn, an 18 year-old white American. In the picture at the rightmost is Father Luigi, A Filipino priest of our community who's from Cagayan De Oro who happened to dropped by when we were about to have this pictorial.
