DAY 4

After waking up I decided to take a moment to think about my new situation. Things had evolved so fast in just a matter of days I still had to adjust to the changes. Right now everything was new, exciting, thrilling. In spite of that, I had to think about what I really wanted, what kind of person I wanted to be. For the first time I felt life within my hands and not like something that just passed by as if I was a mere spectator. And to be honest, I really wanted to take active part in it.

The morning transpired in a way similar to yesterday. The sisters greeted me warmly, asked me how I was feeling, offered me butter and warm milk, some even brought me beautiful flowers for me to decorate my room with.

Father Martín's advice had surely given fruit, for ever since I started praying using the rosary, my life had changed drastically. It was evident that strange things were happening, but it was nice to be admired and loved by others, for this was a previously unknown feeling for me.

Isn't it nice, dear Layla? Better to be infamous than to be unknown.

As soon as we finished breakfast, the thought of asking Helen for help with the Bible study ran through my head.
