In this 2-part episode, our guest Marilis shares about leaving the convent after 8 years of discernment, fumbling to find her bearings in the "real" world as an ex-nun, and feeling unsure of her life's purpose. Amidst her confusion, she is led to take a weeklong trip to Rome that turns into a 4-month stay, which God uses to pave the way to the extremely important and fulfilling work she is doing today with The Vulnerable People Project. Tune in next week for part two where we also hear a truly touching and astonishing story of a baby and his parents being reunited in the USA one year after being separated in Afganistan.
