We moved to New France to help. To convert those orthodox to the true religion. ‎The Catholic world. We are better, smarter, and at the end we will go to heaven. ‎Even though we had a very comfortable life and home, we moved to help. It ‎wasn’t easy, but we did it.‎ Our clothes were different. We wore black robes and pieces of cloth to cover our ‎hair. As if it was what we were born to do, we wanted to convert aboriginals to ‎Catholics. The Aboriginals always refused to give up, but we kept trying. We had ‎tried for so long that some Aboriginals refused and some finally converted.‎ I guess what we did made arguments and fights between them, but it was worth ‎converting them. The most religious of us all was the one and only “Marie de ‎I’lncarnation.” She was the most worthy of going to heaven and we would all ‎listen to her commands. She had moved to New France to start and make school ‎and care houses. She even made hospitals and that is why she is one of the ‎known and recorded founders of Montreal. (Mont Royal)‎ She had a son. She also left the comfortable life of Paris – France to come help ‎New France and to convert Aboriginals. It was hard for us all. The life of New ‎France, but we dealt with it well. We had converted lots of people, but this ‎unfortunately caused fights which let to deaths and sickness. At the end we all ‎were happy that at least some people converted, but at the same time ‎disappointed why all the Aboriginals didn’t convert.‎ Some of us nuns even gave up and moved back to France to help. But I along with ‎lots of other nun priests stayed to keep working to convert Aboriginals, our main ‎goal.‎
