She had decided to be confirmed and had travelled a long way. She hardly knew anyone in our town, and when a friendship broke down, she decided to postpone it. However, she quickly deleted a message to that effect because she felt compelled to think it over again. The next morning, it was clear: ‘I want to be confirmed, and I want to do it now!’ We spoke by phone. At the end, she asked, ‘What do girls wear to a celebration like this in your region?’ I had to smile, as I was overwhelmed by this question. So I had the idea of passing this question on to four girls from the group of confirmation candidates and letting them know that their answer could help someone of the same age who lived far away. After five minutes, all the answers had arrived and I was able to pass them on. The response: ‘Very, very sweet! Thank you for your help!’
