Mini-Update: Peace Corps and Passover

 No word yet, but I am expecting something in the mail today.  I will update the moment I know what country I am going to.  If you want to know how hard this has been on me, go back and read how many entries have mentioned or even been dedicated to this portion of the process.  Yeah, it was stressful and frustrating before, but now I know it will come today or at most tomorrow.  I've run out of anticipation to fuel my anxiety.

 The Passover Dinner slash Communion slash Foot Washing went excelent.  There were 12 of us.  We had a wonderful, uplifting, soul feeding time of worship, reflection, and cleansing.  I am fasting from last night until Sunday Morning, as are most of the people at my house last night and others we know of.  I've never done a two day fast before, but I think it will be alright, knowing that so many others are sharing it with me.  The purpose is to reflect Christ who suffered this day, Good Friday, and spent all of Saturday in the grave, and rose again on Sunday.  It is an identification with Him, a willingness to carry suffering, and a hope to find joy on the other side.

Peace
