Larry and I and Erick had a quiet Easter. I think it was the first time we did not have small children to do something related to eggs. Kyle wanted to be home for rolling Easter Eggs but he didn't get home until yesterday and they spent the day getting eggs dyed for today. We decided we would wait until BJ gets home and then go rolling eggs so anyone who wants to join use we will be rolling eggs after April 30th sometime.

I forwarded BJ's letter to those on the family newsletter list. We are getting excited to have him home.

I decided that where I posted about each family on Wednesday I will just post my testimony of the Savior on this Easter day. I am so grateful for the testimony I have that Jesus Christ is my Savior. It is so wonderful to know that I will see those who have died again and that all of that is possible because of the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ in overcoming death. This free gift was given to all that we might overcome the effects of the transgression of Adam. I am also grateful that because of the Atonement Christ is able to succor me and help me with the challenges that I have in this life. I have been reading the Book of Mormon lately for personal study and it is amazing the testimony in that book of the divinity of Christ and his ability to help us in our need. We are reading and studying the OldTestament in church and as a family and I am struck with awe at the completeness of the Gospel through the ages. I am also grateful for the knowledge I have of the restored Gospel and of our ability to be together as a family in the hereafter if we will repent and follow his plan. It is amazing to me the things that Christ can do for us if we just turn to him and ask for his help and follow the commandments that he has given us. I know that Jesus Christ is a real personage and that he accomplished what he said he did for us because he loves us and wants us to return to him. He has told us what we need to do to be happy in this life and if we follow his commandments we will be happy.
