Milk and Cookies with the Ndnu sisters
One of the events I attended for Foundresses Week was student milk and cookies with the sisters. This event took place on Monday February 8, 2016 at the province center where many of the sisters reside. We met at the quad at 6:30 and then walked down to the province center with one of the sisters. When we got there we could sit at any table with whichever sisters we pleased and i chose the second table and it was really fun. We introduced ourselves and the sisters asked us a bunch of questions like our year in college, hometown, major, and what we want to do with our lives after we graduate. It was a really fun event and i would love to do it again i had chocolate milk with an assortment of cookies and it was a great time. We took a few pictures and at the end the sisters sang a song for us and we helped clean up and went back to the dorms. Overall it was such a fun event and i would love to do it again next year the sisters are very sweet and i love to hear their wise advice and adventures.
