LDS Young Women Easter Lesson

I was responsible for teaching the Easter lesson to the Young Women in our ward on Easter Sunday. I wanted the girls to really understand the story, and doing it through scripture was important to me. I spent some time reading all the gospels, trying my best to understand all the overlapping details of the story. I then sorted the story out in to three parts, and found scriptures that best illustrated the flow of the story.

I can't say for sure if the girls got anything out of it — I sure hope they did — but I did. I learned a lot about the Savior, and am grateful for the experience.

Hopefully, someone else can get something out of it, too.
