Today was Easter Sunday. It was unlike any other Easter we have experienced. Over a month ago, I was asked to give the Easter talk in church. I thought I would be giving a talk to a congregation of 200 plus people instead it was a congregation of 8 people. Crazy time. We had a great sacrament meeting. Olivia, Parkin and Adrianna did a musical number, Gethsemane. My talk was interactive with video clips and lots of discussion. I love having sacrament meeting at home. I think the hardest part is how fast the sacrament goes, normally I can offer a sizeable prayer between the blessings but with so few people there is not a lot of pondering time. next week we're going to try to really pause between each blessing so that there is more time to repent and offer thanks for our blessings.
It was hard not having our typical Easter festivities with both sides of the family. Easter is a favorite Holiday, little pressure and usually several low key gatherings. I went really low key with Easter baskets, meaning I couldn't find the baskets. I didn't buy extra gifts, just a candy assortment, that I put in ziplocks. I thought I would get a lot of push back but I didn't any! I was grateful and so were they. What a relief. After church we cut out and prepted 104 masks that are going to medical professionals and missionaries in our area. It was quite the assembly line. We thought it was a great way to honor the Savior with serving our brothers and sisters.
After dinner we had a fire and snores not a typically Easter desert but lovely all the same.
