Happy Easter

We were blessed to have a special stake conference this Easter morning. Which meant church was only an hour and a half and we got to hear from the
President of the Albuquerque New Mexico Temple, President Shumway, and a
General Authority, Elder Claudio R. M. Costa Presidency of the Seventy.

Both of which gave excellent, Elder Costa was hilarious, making fun of his broken English. President Shumway gave the simple message that because though temple work we will be able to,one day, visit with family members who have pass again. Our stake choir sang a beautiful rendition of I Stand All Amazed, my favorite hymn. Best of all I was able to spend this special Easter conference with my whole family, the whole Hansen-Andersen clan, in the Albuquerque West Stake, took up a whole bench. I'm grateful to have my family so close. I'm grateful for Jesus Christ, my Savior, He has RISEN!

“In our hour of deepest sorrow, we can receive profound peace from the words of the angel that first Easter morning: ‘He is not here: for he is risen.’" —President Thomas S. Monson
