Wonderful Wednesday: Easter

Good Morning Sisters!

We hope that this last week before Easter has brought you moments to reflect upon the true meaning of the holiday that is quickly approaching.  Each of us wants to make every holiday special for our families.  We sincerely hope that while this season brings fun through egg hunts, dying Easter eggs, that we will also take the time to reflect upon, and teach our families, the true reason for Easter.

It was this holiday that Christ made the ultimate sacrifice, when the angels spoke seven of some of the most important words ever, "He is not here, He is Risen."  We hope that this season of Easter will bring the Savior, and his atonement closer to your hearts.

Happy Easter!

Wonderful Wednesday: Sunday Will Come

Sisters,

Today we wanted to share this message of hope with you.  Trials and tribulations will always come our way.  Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to change or stop them.  However, we do know that no matter what comes your way there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The Savior is there to help each and everyone of us.  C. Scott Grow of the Seventy reminded us in this most recent General Conference, that the Atonement is for everyone.  Not just those who have committed a sin.  May we each remember that Christ suffered all things, not just the burdens of the sins that would/had been committed.  Even in our darkest hour of sadness, no matter the cause of that sadness, Christ will provide the light waiting for you on the other side of your trials.

Remember that on that terrible Friday morning when the Savior of the world was crucified those who were closest to the Savior suffered immensely, but on Sunday he returned to lift their burdens.  He will do the same for us. Be strong, have faith, and remember that Sunday will always come.
