I LOVE this order! A good friend of mine was discerning with this order in 2008. After a few months, she realized that she was not called to religious life. She and another good friend of mine were just married this past Easter Saturday. God works in mysterious ways.
Last year a few of these sisters came down to give a talk at one of the meetings of the Catholic student org on campus. They just radiated the love of God. If I ever have a daughter who is called to religious life, I pray she ends up with them!
"No one is master in the Church but all are called, all are sent out, all are reached and guided by divine grace. And this is also our security! Only by listening anew to the word of Jesus who asks, “come, follow me”, only by returning to our original vocation, is it possible to understand our own presence and mission in the Church as authentic disciples."
Pope Benedict XVI

I'm with you Ben! I'd be thrilled if my daughter were to be called there.
