I apologize for the lack of entries as of late. There was a week or two where we were batteling the viruses, and then this last week my family was visiting- so I just haven't been able to write as much.

1. The Resurrection and atonement. I wanted to write this in back closer to Easter- I really am thankful for the knowledge that Christ died for me, and that he lives again. To know that he overcame both sin and death so that I can also have the right to those blessings give me greater understanding for the relationship I should be seeking with Him, and such great perspective and insight into the Plan that our Heavenly Father has for us- that there really is meaning and purpose to this life and the choices I make in this life.

2. Christ centered Ensign. The Ensign is a magazine our church puts out every month. The issue for the month of March was all Christ based. It was the resource for two young women lessons this month- one of which I had the opportunity to teach. It was a great issue!

3. General Conference weekend. Saturday and yesterday were the two days that our church holds a world wide conference that is broadcast and recorded/distributed around the world. This is done twice a year (October and April). Saturday was especially unique in that it was a "solemn assembly:- due to the recent passing of President Hinkley, it was the church's time to sustain our new Prophet, Thomas S. Monson, his councilors, as well as a new member of the 12 apostles and a few new members of the 70. It was neat to be a part of that assembly and wonderful to hear so many inspiring words from the inspired leaders of our church whom the Lord has called.
