Easter Sunday

Yes, this is my arm. I am the biggest bawl baby. My mom says its because I am close to the Lord but I blame it on my dad and his genetics. Sometimes, I pray before I go to church, that I will be able to contain my emotions so I can actually enjoy what I am hearing and learning. Apparently, thoug, God just wants my eyes to be red and watery, my nose to be running all through church and people to feel they have to ask me if I'm okay for three hours. So, I've come up with a unique way to try and control my emotions. I pinch my arm. You can always tell how spiritual my meeting was by how big and how many bruises I have on my arm.
I actually did just let go this Sunday, though. Robb spoke in church. Now, if any of you actually knew Robb from years back, this may surprise you, but he did an acceptional job. I did start to pinch a little at first but then I just decided to let it go. I just stared up at him and cried and cried. I was sitting there reflecting on who he was a few years ago and how much he has changed and grown, and my emotions were certainly flowing. I am so proud of him. He has come such a long, long way and is a great example to everyone around him.
He spoke on the atonement, which is very special subject to both of us. We both have a very strong testimony on the atonement. I dont think you can really appreciate this wonderful blessing until you've been through the repentance process.

Christs Atonement is infinite. It applies to all people. It can clean, reclaim, and sanctify everyone. That is what infinite means—total, complete, all, forever. President Boyd K. Packer has said: “There is no habit, no addiction, no rebellion, no transgression, no apostasy, no crime exempted from the promise of complete forgiveness. That is the promise of the atonement."

What a precious blessing. One that I am so very thankful for.
