Last night we attended the annual Easter concert at the church. One of the perks of living in New York City is a seemingly endless supply of musical talent consisting of Broadway performers, opera singers, and professional musicians. I have always been so impressed with the performances that the ward has put together. As a ward missionary, I have been planning and advertising this concert to the community for several weeks. It was so nice to be able to focus on Christ and provide a means for others to learn about the importance of Easter as well. From what I heard (while chasing Christian through the halls), the concert was a success.
We also fully participated in the
commercialized version of Easter. Christian and I attended a fun playgroup activity this week which turned into an Easter party. The 3 one-year-old boys had so much fun. They colored eggs, made rabbit costumes, ate s'mores using
peeps marshmallows, and went on a living room Easter egg hunt.

Yummy Easter treats that we made for Christian's friends--

It is exciting to participate in all the fun Easter traditions, but truly wonderful to understand the power and magnitude of the resurrection. Happy Easter!
