Wrapping Up April

We celebrated Easter by attending an Easter Egg Hunt for the ranch children at Bishop Campbell's home on Saturday April 7th. (Sorry, no pictures!) Easter Sunday began with attending church to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and partake of the sacrament to renew our baptismal covenants to always remember Him and keep His commandments. In the afternoon, we had dinner with the other missionary couples on the porch of the Carroll House. (We eat together on the 2nd and 4th Sundays.)
Elder Dallin H. Oaks gave an excellent talk about the Savior at the October Conference: What think ye of Christ?

On April 19th we went to Epcot with the Mannings for the Flower and Garden Festival that they have each year from mid-March to the end of May. Elder Kennedy "murmured" some because he's not fond of amusement parks, but he was a real trooper and we praised him for that. The landscaping in the park was beautiful! We had some rain in the afternoon, but we donned our plastic ponchos and carried on. We had lunch in a pub in the United Kingdom section of the World Showcase. The Mannings met when they both were serving missions in England. The Fish 'n Chips were yummy! We  called it a day several hours before the fireworks at 9 PM, but it was still a great day.
