I got a call from Anna and Emmy this morning. They both told me they had finished reading the Book of Mormon, which made me very happy. When I asked them to share their favorite scripture,
Emmy shared the one that goes with this picture:
"Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world."
-3 Nephi 11:14
Thank you Emmy for sharing this scripture with me on Easter morning.

Today was a wonderful Easter for me. In January I invited James, our children and their spouses, and all my grandchildren that can read to finish the Book of Mormon by Easter The response was greater than I anticipated. Each of them also shared on of their favorite scriptures: James-Alma 34:32, Michael-Alma 32:32, Joshua-Helaman 5:12, Kim-Ether 12:27, Sheri-Alma 32:27, Alex-Mosiah 4:16-26, Ben-Alma 7:14, Max-2 Nephi 31:20, Evan-Moroni 10:4-5, Jared-Omni 126 & Helaman 3:35, Anna-3 Nephi 27:9, Emmy-3 Nephi 11:14, Addy-Mosiah 2:17, Stacy-3rd Nephi 13:28-32, and myself-Moroni 10:32.
The best Easter I have ever had. Thank you everyone who participated!!
After conference we spent some time cleaning since Darrel and Trina are coming up this weekend. We left for home around 7 and arrived at 10.
It was a good weekend and I realize how much I have to be grateful for. I am grateful for the Savior, and His Atonement and His Resurrection.
