A lone surviving nun is telling the world her personal account of a recent Yemen massacre she witnessed in a chilling handwritten letter.

A peaceful morning at a Catholic nursing home in Yemen suddenly turned into 90 minutes of horror as ISIS jihadists raided the facility with the intent of murdering every nun and volunteer there March 4.

Sister Sally is only eye witness to the event. She recounted her story in a conversation with another nun, Sister Rio, who then wrote down her account in a memorandum.

According to Sister Sally, the assailants stormed the facility on the morning of March 4 after the nuns and volunteer aids had their usual breakfast and prayer time.

Armed terrorists dressed in blue stormed the compound at 8:30 a.m.

"Ethiopian men (Christian) began running to tell the sisters ISIS was here to kill them. They were killed one by one," Sister Sally recalled.

The terrorists proceeded to gun down every nun and volunteer they could find until Sister Sally was the only one left. She then tried running to warn the nearby convent before she was forced to hide behind the door of "the refrigerator room."

"The ISIS men were everywhere, searching for her and even entered the refrigerator room at least three times without finding her," Sister Sally witnessed.

Sister Rio comments in the memorandum that Sister Sally's survival is nothing short of "miraculous."

The terrorists murdered every other nun and any volunteer aids they could find. After the rampage the Islamic extremists destroyed all religious articles and Christian symbols at the facility.

The martyred nuns were Sister Judith from Kenya, Sister Anselm from India, and Sister Marguerite and Sister Reginette from Rwanda. They were all associated with Members of the Missionaries of Charity, an order founded by Mother Teresa.

Indian priest Rev. Tom Uzhunnalil was also kidnapped by the terrorists and is yet to be found.

Sister Sally and her community are still grieving the victims' deaths but say they have "fully surrendered" to the will of God.

In the memorandum, Sister Sally urges Christians "to pray that their blood will be the seeds for peace in the Middle East and to stop ISIS."
