Happy Easter

Yesterday, we went to mom and dad's for an egg hunt and a taco bar.  The kids very much enjoyed egg hunting. It seems that Easter has meant a little more to me this year as I reflect on the resurrection and that because if Him, loved ones that have gone before live and I will live again.  I will one day be reunited with those I miss every day.  On the drive down we streamed conference and listened to it.  Additionally this Easter day, we watched conference as well.  It seems there have been so many changed announced this conference including: 2 new apostles called (Elder Ulisses Soares and Elder Gerrit W Gong), no longer will priesthood quorums (elders and high priest) meet separately, and home/visiting teaching to be "retired" and now ministering. Young women ages 14 and up can now join with the adult sisters in the ward to have ministering responsibilities. Elder Uchtdorf spoke on beholding the man and it spoke to me . When encompassed by sorrow or griefs behold the man. When you feel lost or forgotten, behold the man. The most important day in our individual life will be the day we learn to individually "behold the Man" I loved Sister Bingham and Elder Hollands talk as well explaining more about ministering and looking out for one another. Oh, and the previous mission president Elder Taniela B. Wakolo's talk made me smile.  I remember listening at stake conferences when he and his wife spoke, she always stood by his side and vice versa. I was a little disappointed that she was not by his side during his conference address. Overall, I am grateful that I am able to listen to conference wherever I am.  I am thankful to know that be because of the Man that I can see my loved ones again.
