Yes, those would be two of them.

I've never even seen a nun in the states. Has anyone else? The only places I've seen them have been south of the border.

I'm kind of curious how this all developed. Surely this woman didn't just get up and announce one day "I am Mary reincarnate" and these nuns just accepted that without question. How would one go about convincing people that they are a reincarnation of anyone?

I seriously had to look over and see if it was Goatnapper who posted this.

There's a convent here in SLC...specifically in Holladay, just about 3 miles from where I live.

I see them in the Dan's Grocery Store on 7000 South and 2000 East every once in a while.

Really, have you ever seen a young one, or are they all old?

Now that you mention it,,,,I remember them all being older.

I saw one in Peru once that looked to be relatively young, but all the others have been older. I wonder what the church will do when the nuns start dying off.

They all prayed about it and felt a burning in their bosoms. They felt the spirit so Mother Mary had to be telling the truth.

Isn't that how it always works?

The tent is obviously not big enough.

How do you know if you saw one without asking? You are aware that many nuns today do not wear a habit?
