friday, friday!

alright, now everybody together let out a big sigh of relief that the week is over and that the weekend is here. i am currently relishing in the happiness of knowing that i'm done with this crazy spanish project i had to present today... 15 minutes in front of the class rambling off with my partner who is a spanish major about picaresque novels and intertextuality.

..... you know that eleanor roosevelt lady who said that nobody can make you inferior without your consent? clearly she never took spanish 441 with a band of natives, spanish missionary training center teachers (who wear their badges to class...) and spanish majors in their senior year! 

anyways, HAPPY WEEKEND and i just thought i'd leave you with this vid i found via lds.org

it's wonderful! usually easter tends to just sneak up on me or i just am too hung over with mini eggs to really appreciate it, so i was glad i took the time to refresh and refocus today. watch it! count it as church attendance! (but don't really. go to church)

He Is Risen

What is a girl to do when her roommates are all MIA over the Easter/conference weekend, it's the off-Sunday meaning no family dinner, and her friends have Easter commitments?

That is the thought I pondered all this morning as I was watching General Conference and ate all the Peeps and Cabury Mini eggs I wanted.

However, while feeling increasingly bad for myself, I found these pictures online, and I was almost brought to tears as I recounted the reason for this holy day.

With the help of MSNBC. com, I found photos from Easter celebrations in

Pakistan

Germany

Afganistan

Haiti

And once again I was brought back to the reason for this day. How no matter where you are or in which life situation you find yourself, he knows. He understands, he cares, and he is there.

Happy Easter
