Sunday, March 16 Sharing Time

This week, Sister Donaldson taught us the most important story ever told...The Story of Easter...using Easter eggs. There was a hint to each part of the Easter Story hidden inside of each egg. We found thorns inside one egg and she taught us that Jesus was mistreated and was made to wear a crown made of thorns! We all agreed that would not be something we would like to happen to us! Inside of another egg were some very good smelling spices and she taught us that after Jesus was crucified, His friends and loved ones cleaned His body and wrapped Him in linen and covered Him in aromatic spices to make Him smell good. The very last egg was a golden egg. Can you guess what was inside? Nothing! There was nothing inside the last egg to teach us that after 3 days, there was also nothing inside the tomb where Christ was placed after his death because he had risen and was alive again! Sister Donaldson encouraged all of us to enjoy this Easter season and let the pretty colored eggs remind us of what we found inside of them in Primary today, so that we can remember the story of Jesus and his crucifixion and most importantly his Resurrection. He did a wonderful thing for us, so that we could also be resurrected and return to live with our Heavenly Father again someday!

To help make Easter extra special this year, Sister Donaldson gave us a bookmark with important scriptures for each day of this week so that we can read about everything that Jesus did in the week before his Resurrection:

Monday - Clearing the temple - Matthew 21:12-15
Tuesday - Scribes questioned the authority of Jesus and asked about paying tribute money - Matthew 21; Matthew 22
Wednesday - Discuss the Parable of the 10 virgins - Matthew 25
Thursday - The Last Supper and the Garden of Gethsemane - Matthew 26
Friday - Trial, Crucifixion, and burial of Jesus - Matthew 27
Saturday - Discuss missionary work in the spirit world - 1 Peter 3: 18-20
