Some of the children from the school the other Ursuline Nuns run, came to the hospital today with the flu. One of the kids who was able to talk kept on asking about his brothers and sisters, he told us his older brother Joseph was working under the bishop and was in charge of placing the nuns in missionaries with the native peoples, or in different seigneuries, or at different hospitals all around New France. One of the other children was very scared that her uncle was going to have to come and record her death like he had her birth. A priest came in and conducted mass for all the little children, and helped soothe a little boy who wanted to wrote his will. It is amazing how much good the church does in New France
