I could feel the love and energy pouring over me and honestly don't think it would have went as well without it. Thank you all again!! The Force was with me and I felt closer to it and the people here than I've had in the last 3 years. I feel stronger and more confident in people and the Force than I ever had before.
Force be with us all.

I came to this thread too late to wish you good luck, and hesitated for a moment to post because in my own experience well wishers sometimes invoked what in my childhood seemed too ephemeral to be of practical use; terribly practical, that's me.
I had just read a sermon here in which the author asked the reader to consider the value of faith. I took another reading of that word, faith, finding resonance with the original Old French context: "duty of fulfilling one's trust." In other words, I could say that the Force will carry you through this hardship, but I feel I might be imposing my view on it; much like my childhood experiences of well wishers invoking a shared vision/assumption that didn't necessarily match.
So, seeing that you are an Apprentice, my well wish is that I believe that your faith (duty) to the Force will continue to carry you through this hardship.
