The relationships that I have developed with the Claretian Brothers and being able to spend time with them during mission trips before I entered.
What I wish was different
Nothing would be different because if it wasn't for the COVID-19 pandemic, my formation process would have lasted a little bit longer. I would have found a way to grow and find my "missionary identity" if the pandemic hadn't placed restrictions on Catholic Churches.
Advice
For any candidate who is discerning the path of a missionary life, spend time and reflect. It truly is a serious commitment to take if you are willing to follow the path of missionary life.
