Easter

Yesterday was Easter!!! And yes I did have some of that Ukrainian bread, it is called Paska which translated means Easter bread! It is good and let me tell you mom the bread you made when I was home tasted exactly like it but yours was better. Last Pday I bought 2 loaves at the store.

Yesterday was a great day. I thought about the Savior a lot and all that he has done for me. Here in Ukraine Easter is a huge holiday and they even have a special greeting that they use only on Easter it is "Христос Воскрес" "Воистину Воскрес" It means Christ is risen, in truth he is risen. That isn’t translated exactly right but that is the thought of it is. So someone says the first part and then the other replies with the second part, it is cool. We had a chance to talk to a lot of people about Christ yesterday and all that He has done. I read the First Presidency message for April and then I studied the scriptures. I love the verses 5 and 6 from Luke24: "Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is arisen.” I know that Christ lives today and that He is my older brother and my Master. Through Him all things are possible. I love this, "Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: I know that my Redeemer lives" Wow so simple yet so powerful. I also like John 21:15- 17, I will let you look it up but I love how the Savior asks Peter if he loves Him and if He does to feed his sheep. That is what I am doing here and it feels great. I want my banner to be Clear and I want the Lord to know that I gave it my all. I am a Disciple of Jesus Christ and I know that He is the reason I am here. I have felt His hand through my whole life and still do. I love you family and thank you for all that you do.
