    Why did Mother Teresa decide to be a nun?
    Fascinated by the stories of missionaries and their work, young Teresa decided that she would some day follow in the footsteps of these noble people. At the age of 18, Teresa left her family forever to join the Sisters of Loreto.

  9. Hi rrom 1 we are going to have a great time today! We only have 5 people though and that is going to be hard !
    I have to finish my speech and it's hard for me because my mum insists on doing Jesus and I want to do Nelson Mandela. So Mum said
    do Nelson Mandela at school and we can work on Jesus at home and then you can decide which one is better and you can use that one in the speech compitition . I think I know the answer already! ! !
