Easter 2011

Happy Easter.  I always enjoy Easter and the feelings of peace and hope that come along with it, but I think I'm feeling especially full of peace today.  I just finished (yesterday) an Easter reading packet that was put together by our stake Relief Society.  Over 3 or 4 weeks, the readings took us through the life and mission of Jesus Christ using scriptural accounts, hymns, and talks from leaders of the church.  I enjoyed having a specific focus to my scripture reading, but I don't think I realized until today how much the reading affected me.  My love for the Savior has been strengthened.  I honestly feel more hope in the promises of His atonement and the Resurrection.  I'm grateful for these feelings--sometimes you don't realize you're in a rut until something comes along and lifts you higher.

Here are some pictures from our Easter weekend.
