My conversation w/ PC Placement was on Friday afternoon, and I know in an office it can sometimes take a while to processes applications...so I wasn't expecting too much forward movement on my Peace Corps Application Status Toolbox over the weekend. But yesterday (Saturday), I had all the checkmarks, indicative of the Legal Office removing the Legal Hold--surprising to me.
Then this morning (SUNDAY) I woke up to find another 5am email from Peace Corps App update. I logged in to find a beautiful sight. Imagine the screenshot that says:
Congratulations! You have been invited to become a Peace Corps Volunteer
I continue to be amazed that the seas are parting for me in a way that I cannot even have imagined. I feel like my life can be likened to a race through a densely clouded/foggy street--where I can't tell what I'm running from or what I'm running towards...and you just don't know where you are going until you are there.

He prayeth best, who loveth best, All things both great and small;
for the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all..."

Congrats Elizabeth! I am so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteWhen is was your nomination for? I am trying to get an idea of others nomination vs. invitation dates to see how long the placement offices are giving people to tell them when their departure dates are. I hope they give us more than the minimum 6 weeks.
