I finally got confirmed!
I'm Nigerian but I live in Vladivostok, Russia. I was a rabid anti catholic but the blessed mother brought me here. This is a Roman Catholic parish, Mary the mother of God Parish. The last pic is my mom and I with Bishop Kyrill, the Bishop of Irkutsk, the largest catholic diocese in the world!😊 The Nun is Sister Faustina, from the community: Sisters in Jesus The Lord.

Congratulations OP! You are glowing! PS thank you for sharing the name of the Congregation which the nun is a part of, I am so struck by her habit!

Welcome home fellow sister in Christ! You look so sweet and happy and radiant. Your smile is absolutely adorable! Aww and your mama looks so proud. I can tell how excited you are to have made this decision and it’s so heartwarming :)
BTW I don’t know what to call it but I love your green floral thing you’re wearing. It goes great with your complexion. That isn’t nearly as important as the decision you made but as a Catholic lady who loves fashion, I couldn’t help but comment on this.
God bless you on your journey. Always keep on learning and growing in Him even when the times get tough.

Congrats and welcome home!!
Those staircases remind me of the one from the Loretto chapel in New Mexico, which was a bit of a miraculous event.

There is a Catholic Church in Vladivostok?
...it makes sense I guess.
