The joke suggests a few images. Since you're focused on the reply, then you can take that:

Nun 2 wore away the soap. Nun 1 can't find it. It wore away pretty quick.

If you take the whole joke as playful banter:

'OOOOH, WHERE is the SOAP?'
'Yes, it does [feel rather nice], doesn't it!' *proceeds to wear away the soap on nun 1*

Alternatively they are both using it and the words don't matter beyond hinting at the scene.

Some versions of the joke use 'Rather!' or 'Yes, I rather would!' as the reply - english.stackexchange.com is your friend. :p

The [spoken] word has three different meanings.
1. Where (location)
2. Wear (to put on clothes)
3. Wear (to degrade something by rubbing it / friction. I.e. it wears out the soap).

The nuns are wearing out the soap. Hope that helps.

It's like the other one...

Two nuns are cycling through Vatican City. One says: "I've never come this way before".
The other whispers over "it's the cobblestones".

Fnarr fnarr! :D Again, won't work with everyone. Context is key!
 
I bought my shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day.

I went to the shop to buy 6 cans of sprite, but when I got home I realised I picked 7up.

I accidentally swallowed some food colouring. I feel like I've dyed a little inside.
 
Janis: I hope my son does not die during night.
Guntis: What is "hope"?
Janis: Yes. I know what you say.
Guntis: No. I am serious. What is hope?
Janis: In truth, I do not know.
