He is Risen

 He is Risen

Last year in conference, we were invited to make Easter more like Christmas and celebrate it more than just one day.  The church made an Easter Study schedule to help with this and we really enjoyed following it this year.  Our ward had 2 activities to encourage us to learn more about Holy Week  It was wonderful to spend time every day thinking about our Savior and all He's done for us.  I'm so grateful for Him!. 

 The last few years, I've done an Easter Scavenget hunt with the kids for their Easter basket  This year, the clues were from the scriptures about Holy Week. Ex. Matthew 26:36  Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane and saith unto the disciples, sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. (CLUE find a statue of Jesus praying in Gethsemane) and the next clue was under the statue on my coffee table. Another one was Matthew 26:14 and Judas said, what will ye give me, and I will deliver im unto you?  And they covenanted with him for thirty peices of silver.  (CLUE where does Gram keep her purse with her money in it)   It was a good review of what they had been learning about during the last week.  

We missed Jamie and his family who were on Spring Break in St George.
