Spring means General Conference and Easter Sunday!

Spring time is a wonderful time!

The world starts to wake up from a cold winter.

Flowers start to bloom!

The green starts to return to the trees, grass, and my mountains! 

The sun shines, and even on those rainy days the Earth seems happy.

Seems refreshed! 

Tulips and Daffodils! 

Easter comes with is refreshing colors to remind us of our Saviors love he had for us when we suffered, died, and lived again for us!! 

What joy and peace that brings me! I love my Savior with all my heart! My favorite hymns are "How Great Thou Art" and "I Know my Redeemer Lives". He is the base of my testimony! I plant my faith firmly in Him! Brings me to tears when I have a prayer of love for my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

What better way to spend Easter Sunday then hearing from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ through our apostles and Prophet! 

I just cannot wait for General Conference and Easter weekend! 

• It means mission reunion! Brent and I get to go to his mission presidents house and hear all about his time he had in Brazil with his mission buddies! While we eat Pao de Queijo until our tummy's ache!

 

• It means that we get to discuss where we are in life and where we want to be going. Praying about what we need to be focused on hearing that weekend. Praying our leaders will know exactly what we need to hear and they never fail! We write our questions down that we have, and afterwords they have always been answered. Sometimes we study more about them. 
• It means that I get to snuggle up on the couch, with my note book and pen, for the weekend. Writing the inspiration that comes to me! 
• It means that I will be making our "Conference Treat." Something like caramel popcorn, muddy buddies, trail mix, etc. That we can snack on while we listen to men of God! 

We will be overwhelmed with the spirit and overwhelmed with the teachings we are receiving from that spirit! 

I cannot wait until James is old enough to add more traditions to our General Conference weekend! 

It always comes when we are ready to be edified and uplifted! It will be refreshing like the spring is to the Earth! 

For Easter we don't have many traditions. But I can't wait to decorate eggs, watch bible videos, and remember the Savior! Normally I can't wait to go to church in our new Easter Sunday cloths, but this year that might have to be for the next weekend. 

Growing up Easter was always near our spring break so we would take that time off and go out of town! I have spent a lot of Easters on the road, usually in Vegas with family, or sometimes else where. Easter does remind me of Vegas a lot with family. 

The General Conference and Easter season bring us a "Spring Cleaning" to our spirit. We remember our foundation in the Savior and how we can edify that through our lives better! I love that feeling! I enjoy the feeling of spring cleaning though its so refreshing to have a clean home why not spring clean your body, mind and spirit too? 

What are some of your favorite General Conference or Easter traditions in your home?
