Happy Easter! :) We as roommates kicked off this wonderful holiday with a tradition I brought from my own family. It's probably one of my favorite traditions because of it's focus on the Savior. These cookies are basically made from vinegar, egg whites, salt, sugar and walnuts. Each ingredient has a spiritual representation and a scripture attached. As we beat the walnuts with a spoon we read about Jesus being scourged by the Roman soldiers, eggs represented life, etc.
You put the cookies in the preheated oven overnight (turning OFF the oven), and in the morning the cookies are hollow, representing the empty tomb when Christ had been resurrected.
We had a really good time doing this together, and definitely enjoyed the cookies today after church. Mmmm they are so yummy. I'm sad they are gone!
After church we wanted to celebrate the beauty of this warm day in Rexburg. Ashley took us to a great duck pond a ways off of campus. These ducks were huge and they literally were eating bread right out of our hands. It was such a blast. We only had a little time and little bread so we didn't stay long, but we hope to return to our duck friends soon.
First roommate picture. :) Maleha, Diane, Amberly and Ashley. I love these darling girls and I'm thrilled to be living with them.
