There are about 27 retired nuns at the Convent and their average age is about 76 years old. Seventeen of them have passed on since the first time we visited them. We were told that three were hospitalized when we visited the convent today.
We went to the convent armed with a variety of food and the team of youth presented a hilarious ice-breaker. We had praise and worship, a mime and a dance. Beyond all that, it was wonderful to fellowship with the retired nuns and seeing the youth helping to get food for the immobilized nuns and having long conversations, which was very heart-warming.
I wasn't about to make any bento today because it's Sunday but because we had to rush off to Cheras after Sunday School, I decided to prepare some quick bento.
This was for #3. It's basically spaghetti Alio Oglio, some Tuna croissant and some cut oranges. The salad was a filler and will definitely not be eaten!
These belong to #1 and #2. It's basically the same as above.
An overview shot of all the three bentos.
This is #3's box packed and ready to go.
These are #1 and #2's bentos packed and ready to go too!

That is really heartwarming. I'm sure those nuns have many stories to tell. And that's a really lovely thing to do at Lent. :)
SIG: The nuns were wonderful. Like one said "We were all not born old, you know, once upon a time we were young like you and did youthful things like you".
How often we don't remember that.
