*Easter Church Outfit*

Before Church on Easter Sunday we were watching some of the Easter videos on the Mormon Channel. Many showed the garden scene and then the crucifixion. As Layla was watching them, she turned to Tanner and said, " Jesus sad?" Tanner said, "yes, he is sad because he is atoning for all of us." Layla said to Tanner. " Jesus, hug, all better." She did this anytime Jesus was getting hurt, crying, or looking sad. 

It was a great moment to teach Layla about our Savior and his love for each of us. He explained to her about the atonement and about the Resurrection and how it brings us all so much happiness. 

Easter is one of my favorite holidays! It is a time to reflect on our Savior. He truly is my redeemer and yours! He bled and died for my sins and shortcomings. The atonement is real and is there for everyone to use and become more like our Heavenly Father everyday! Because of this atonement I can have direction in my life to know what is MOST important and how to best serve our Lord and Savior.  He truly was risen and because of him I can have great joy in my life!
