He is Risen,
the message of Easter!
It was nice to go to Church with Jared, Cathi, Terry, Dave, Laura, Sheri, Ian, Alex, Ben, Max, and Evan. Ben helped bless the sacrament. The Reyna's spoke in sacrament meeting. We had their little boy, Isaiah, in our Primary class.
I am so grateful for the Savior and the
opportunity I had today to renew my covenants with
Him through the Sacrament.
Our Sunday school class was taught by a man born in Puerto Rico and who grew up in Hawaii. He taught seminary for 15 years and was a great teacher. I will have to ask Cathi what his name was.
Sister Johns taught Relief Society, her son Malachi was also in our Primary class. The lesson was on Elder Hales conference address.
After church I came home and made scalloped potatoes. This time I didn't forget the cheese! I warmed up the ham and the five of us, James, Jared, Cathi, Terry, and I sat down to a nice Easter dinner. We had ham, potatoes, beans, cranberry celebration, and croissants. Cathi and I already had our dessert. We have been eating Kim's sugar cookies since yesterday when I brought them home. It was nice to be able to provide a small meal for Cathi & Terry after all they have done for us.
Nap time! After our nap James and I were going to go visit his mom and Dawn. We wanted to stay and visit with Jared so James called his mom and spoke with her for awhile instead of going for a visit.
Jared went to the temple visitors center to wait for Melanie who is in Mesa having dinner with her husband's family. Melanie's husband passed away two years ago. He had Valley Fever which caused congestive heart failure. She has three girls, 19, 15, and 5.
She and Jared came by later this evening so we could meet her. She seems very nice. She and Jared are going to Ethiopia in September to bring glasses to people down there who need them. Cathi gave Jared several pair of old glasses. Melanie belongs to a group who goes down every year. Jared is excited to go and wants to take James Hayden with him.

This evening Cathi, Terry, James and I watched the movie "The Cokeville Miracle". It is a true story about a couple who took a bomb into the Cokeville Elementary school and held the school hostage. Miracles happened and everyone came out alive except the perpetrators. This happened in the 80's. Our friend Trudy Lamb is from Cokeville, Wyoming.
