Not a whole lot has been going on lately. I finished the Gospel of Luke and started reading John. I've only read a few chapters so far. It was interesting to realize that John 3:16 was part of a conversation with Nicodemus, the Pharisee. I never knew that...
On Thursday the missionaries went over the plan of salvation. I was already pretty familiar with it, but I think they just wanted to be sure. They left me an Easter basket on my front porch, and I saw it as I was driving off to church this morning. That was pretty unexpected. Here are the messages they left.
"Now... the thing of which I am certain, and of whitch I bear witness, is the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. Without it life is meaningless... There would be no Christmas if there were no Easter." - President Gordon B. Hinkley
"[This] week the Christian world will celebrate the most significant event in world history... 'He is not here for He has risen, ' was the first confirmation of the literal resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The empty tomb that first Easter morning brought comforting assurance, an affirmative answer to Job's question, 'If a man die, shall he live again?' --He shall live again -- 'I am the resurrection and the life,' spoke the Savior. 'He that believeth in me though he were dead. Yet shall he live and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." - President Thomas Monson
As a recent convert I've found my focus changing to food storage, visiting teaching, scripture reading, and the Word of Wisdom just to name a few.
