M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n.
May the mercy of God be with you, and may the Lord guide you to useful things.
If Mother offers to cut your hair without your asking for it, then you should accept it as obedience without reasoning, and it will be good.
If you have a secret thought to leave the monastery, then, of course, it is better not to take monastic vows. But may the Lord deliver you from this enemy thought, if you have it. She came to the monastery voluntarily, which means there is a calling from God to this place. To leave without permission is already a sin. There will be sorrows everywhere, but it is good to endure them where the Lord has called.
Asking for peace and God's blessing on you, I remain with the desire for salvation.
