Journal Entry:

Last evening after conference, Cathy and I drove over to University Place Mall and walked a little. It was, as you can easily imagine, quite crowded. Then we drove to In-n-Out Hamburger shop and each got a burger. I really like that place because the burgers are very good and reasonably priced. I took the photo to show that we aren't the only ones to feel that way. It's amazing how many people they can serve and serve well.

Anyway, General Conference was very good and we were glad that they no longer have a third session on Saturday evening. We shall watch both sessions today and, of course, we will record them and the church web site will have them available for review within a couple of days. 

Today being Easter Sunday makes it even better. I think we as a people (especially me) are finally realizing how important the events that cause us to celebrate Easter are to Heavenly Father's plan for us. 

Come Follow Me 

Easter Sunday

John 16: 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

"Dear brothers and sisters, my message to you today is that because Jesus Christ overcame this fallen world, and because He atoned for each of us, you too can overcome this sin-saturated, self-centered, and often exhausting world.

Because the Savior, through His infinite Atonement, redeemed each of us from weakness, mistakes, and sin, and because He experienced every pain, worry, and burden you have ever had, then as you truly repent and seek His help, you can rise above this present precarious world.

You can overcome the spiritually and emotionally exhausting plagues of the world, including arrogance, pride, anger, immorality, hatred, greed, jealousy, and fear. Despite the distractions and distortions that swirl around us, you can find true rest—meaning relief and peace—even amid your most vexing problems."

President Russell M. Nelson
