Happy Easter

We had a great Easter. The children had a good time, and looked so nice for church. I had the pleasure of conducting the Ward Choir for our Easter presentation, and I think I faked it quite well! :) The choir did GREAT, but as for myself and having had no formal training, I think I was pretty convincing. I am a flute player, so by nature I know how to read only in treble-cleff, and only one note at a time. I do not think in chords, or in parts, or all of those things that choir directors can mentally hear in their heads. Someday I hope to learn to play the piano. Then at least I can learn chords, and read bass-cleff as well.

This week has been a difficult one for my family (and extended family in Utah), because we had to say goodbye to a dear sweet Aunt. She passed away at the age of 60, after many years of health problems. I love and will miss my Aunt Coleen. But I find such reassurance of a happy reunion, especially with this Easter holiday. Death is an essential part of our Father's plan, and only a temporary part at that. One day we will all taste of the sweet resurrection as provided through our Savior Jesus Christ. Death has no sting, and is overcome by Christ. I am so grateful for my Savior. Thank you Aunt Coleen, for your amazing life, and thank you for a very real reminder of what Easter truly is about.
