Mikelle's Easter Talk

Mikelle was scheduled to give the talk in primary on Easter. We prepared her lesson together, and then she insisted on drawing pictures to match. We were running short on time, but she really wanted to so I finally gave it. I'm really glad I did. She drew the cutest pictures and I think it really helped with her learning about Easter. (sorry this is pretty braggy, it's mostly for all grandparents to see). Matt took a picture and video while she gave her talk (for the last part anyway). Sorry this may be boring, but again, it's mostly for grandparents.

"When Jesus died they put him in a tomb with a large stone in front of it. Soldiers stood nearby to see that no one tolle the stone away. For three days Jesus's body lay in the tomb."
(Soldiers guarding the tomb)
"Then in the morning of the third day, Jesus' friends came to the tomb. The saw that the stone had been rolled away. There was an angel in the tomb. The angel said, 'He is not here: for He is risen.' Jesus had come back to life. He was resurrected. Jesus's friends were very happy. He was alive and would never die again."
(An angel in the tomb talking to Jesus's friends)
"Jesus died so that we can all live again after we die. We have Easter to remind us when Jesus died for us and was resurrected. Jesus Christ is our Savior. He loves us. He wants us to return to live with Him."
(Resurrected Jesus Christ)

That's so cute. I love her pictures. Boston asked me if he could make a book so I had him tell me the words and he drew the pictures. It was so cute. I should blog it. I miss you guys!
