Easter Pageant 2012

 We wanted to go to the Easter Pageant again this year, but the days were so filled, the only night we could go was last Saturday they performed - the night before Easter. What a great way to spend the night before Easter than learning and feeling the spirit at the Easter Pageant. We went early to get good seats - 3 pm!
 Abbey, Ally and Ammon
 Lucas having a little camera fun - he thought it was fun to watch the guy on the light tower, how high he had to climb.
 SPOT IT! Miss Erin brings the funnest games - a tradition to go with Beckers - best tradition ever!

 More 'SPOT IT' - some tears, laughter and LOTS of excitement!!

The next day, Jeff and I were able to speak in church. And although my voice still shakes and I cry like a baby, Heavenly Father has helped me in my journey to become more comfortable speaking in public. I didn't say become a great speaker, but to become more comfortable. The nerves no longer make me sick days before and after I speak, but just minutes and I don't have a chance to dwell on it thanks to being in the Primary Presidency. This has helped me with my presentation and overcoming the fear of speaking to adults who I think must know more than I do. It was a beautiful day to be at church. I love to hear my children sing - Abbey is quite the singer! :) I love to hear my husband speak in church and share his testimony - we don't often volunteer to share our testimonies during fast/testimony meeting. 

Lucas saw Jeff preparing his talk Sunday morning and asked him what he was doing. Jeff told him: 'Preparing a talk for church.'
Lucas: 'But I don't speak Spanish'......
Jeff quite often speaks Spanish in our Stake and most often his talks are in Spanish - he rarely speaks in our ward - it's been 2 years since we last spoke in Sacrament meeting.

I love Easter. I'm grateful for our Savior - that He is Risen. He lives again and so can we!
