Category : Biography & Autobiography

Pages : 218
Book Description
Writing a book is an exciting project especially when the topic is so close to home. My life story, how exciting can that be? I found it very appealing. But was there something about my story that would appeal to anyone else? Born a twin in Honolulu, Hawaii, just before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, I experienced a truly loving family. My dad and mom, John, and Ella Mendiola loved each other, and it rubbed off on all of us. We all went to Catholic schools, and Star of the Sea became the focal point of our lives. The Marist Fathers and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur were part of our family. So it was that I became a Sister of Notre Dame, went off to serve God in California and back in Hawaii, and finally, across the world at the equator in Kenya. Then the whole world changed again for me. I exchanged the nun's veil for the bride's veil! God had decided to reward me for my twenty years of faithful service. He gave me Gilbert Gicaru Githere. And I said, "Thank You, God. Mahalo nui loa."
