Thank you, Amber, for all you're doing on the front lines. You and all those working with you are true super heros! We're love your and are praying for all of you! ❤

THANK YOU SO MUCH - Dear Emmely and David, ... for sharing your faith in - and love of Jesus Christ - and for sharing your testimony and lots of inspiring practical ideas to live and teach the gospel in church and our homes. I have served as Sunday school teacher for so long in my branch in Denmark - that I do not remember how long, and eventhough this is my forever favourite calling in church, I desperately needed new personal inspiration to continue this year. I prayed to God to help me be renewed in my calling, and one day soon after you popped up on youtube! THANK YOU SO MUCH - I looove to get your news letter every week and simply place myself "at your feet" and be taught - before I teach. And how I adore Christ, who is Savior and friend of all peoples' and me - Halleluja! How could HE not ride into Jerusalem "upon a colt the foul of an ass" (Zechariah 9:9) - for I imagine that Jesus knew all scripture, and HE knew to go find "the foul of an ass" Zechariah spoke of, when he rejoiced, "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold thy King cometh unto thee: he IS just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." After that Zechariah continued ... God would cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem and cut off the battle - for Jesus shall speak peace and HIS dominion shall be from sea EVEN to sea ... to river EVEN to the ends of the earth. I pray that you both will continue to be blessed with power, health and inspiration to comtinue what you do so well. BIG THANK YOU - from Randers Branch, Denmark :-)
This class was wonderful for me. Thank you for teaching us how to improve our Easter week. Remembering our Savior every day of our lives will remind us how to center our home in Christ
Make your own wheat grass. Soak wheat berries over night, drain and sprout for two days, press wheat berries in planting soil, slightly water by misting cover berries with something heavy for a couple of days. It should be perfect by Easter. Thank you for your ideas.
I don’t feel like I’ve been given a Donkey! I’m loving every aspect of this craziness! I wrote this the 13th of March on our Family Messenger page and it’s still applicable today: This is such an exciting and amazing time. So many changes. I love our Prophet and I love our Savior. Hold on or let go what ever phrase works best for you and enjoy the journey of a lifetime!
I wholeheartedly agree!! I actually feel sad when I think that in the not too distant future, this will all be a distant memory as everyone goes back to their mad life and schedule. I hope and pray for that we will remember this time as a ‘happy’ and ‘peaceful’ time, a time to refocus on the importance of family and values rather than the drama and trauma which the media is feeding us. I pray for those that are suffering that they will find peace and relief. But for the rest of us... embrace and enjoy this journey of a lifetime!!
I'm SO glad that I found you and this channel!! I💗 UA-cam!! I just finished watching the last session of General Conference... and then I found YOU! I have no one to study Come Follow Me with and now I DO, so thank you for this!! Jennifer from Oregon 😊
I am so glad that I had a dear friend introduce "Don't Miss this", but I would like to find all the book and news letter ect. you have out there for me. What a better time to study than at this time of quarantine for mr. Thank you with all my heart and may God bless.
I just saw this yesterday, and picked up the creche from deseret book curbside order, but I didn't want to go to the store for anything else, so we are improvising. We have a lot of the things already. Today my daughters and I made paper lilies, talked about Thomas, and listened to the song 'Consider the Lilies.' It was really neat. Thank you for sharing this wonderful tradition!
Happy Easter Emily and David and your families.From lockdown in Tasmania, Australia. So looking forward to General Conference. Have either of your children told you "You rock!"? I doubt Jesus Christ wa in the mood to be crucified but oh to rise from the grave...what a beginning without being the very beginning. I love your lessons. Thank you. Christ can be central to our lives and our happiness no matter what is thrown at us.
You mentioned the eggs-the Cadbury eggs. Here in Pennsylvania, during the Easter season, churches make peanut butter, coconut (my favorite), and buttercream eggs to raise funds for their churches. I love your weekly videos
Pam Broady where are you in PA???? Are you safe? My son and his family live in York and I’m so worried for them. So much illness there! Please take care. 🙏🏼
Kate Cameron Waynesburg is in the southwest corner of PA. I live near Harrisburg which is in the south central part of the state. He’s about 4 hours from me
Thank you. This answered so many questions and concerns I woke up with this morning. Conference in all honestly though wonderful and inspiring was not what I expected and I was feeling confused. But your lesson today has helped me to understand and I feel so much better! It has also shed light on some other things in my life and given me more clarity. God bless you both and your loved ones for your sacrifice and teaching.
I love your Eastivity! I will be spending the week alone and loving every minute putting the Eastivity together. You will love the song "My Name is Lazarus" by the Gaither Vocal Group. It is amazing!
Hi I love what and how you teach, I’m just curious over here in England we have to sand 2 metres apart if you aren’t married or not in the same family. Otherwise you could indirectly infect each other. People are dying so fast. Do you not have any procedures to keep you and your families safe? Would be horrible if you got sick Happy Easter, keep safe. God Bless
Shirleyhelen SANDRA these were recorded before the quarantine. They explained that somewhere... can’t remember where. But they said they recorded a few weeks ahead.
Happy Easter! Thank you for these videos. Is Utah not doing social distancing, or do you live together? Here on the East coast, we are staying 6 feet away from anyone we don't live with (unless we don't mind getting each other sick, I suppose). Just wondering and no judgement here.
I was really loving this and felt the Spirit. It was really beautiful. And then it turned into a commercial… and it felt like suddenly you weren't sharing a universal message of peace and hope and joy in the Savior, but an infomercial for a product that is marketed towards upper middle class white women.
Wasn't one of the other reasons Christ 'delayed his coming' was to show that Lazarus's spirit was not close to his body? The Jews believed that the spirit of the recently dead would stay near the body and could enter back into the body easily. By Christ waiting, he was showing that he could recall the spirit to the body AFTER the spirit should have been removed from the body.
Yes! That is true.. Traditionally, the Jews believed that a spirit could return within 3 days of dying...so because Christ waited 4 days--he was, in fact, proving beyond any doubt(and especially for the Jews), that he could restore life---(facts found in Jesus the Christ) Have a Blessed Easter!!
Go to LDS Living UA-cam channel and you have to scroll down quite far to last year Easter time and you'll find all Emily and David's Easter videos per day.
Actually for Jews the donkey or ass is a Nobel beast. That is one of the ways they recognized him as a king and the people cut palms and started shouting Hosanna.
See zechariah 9:9. His arrival was on a donkey or ass symbolizing he is come in peace not war but it still was Nobel and looked for by those who knew the ancient prophets
In the days of Jesus, crucifixion was the ultimate form of punishment reserved for the most despicable criminals. It was designed to humiliate a convict, and to break him down physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was the most humbling part of His condescension. While most of the world might still view the crucifixion of Jesus Christ as a defeat, we know in hindsight that it was the greatest victory in the history of mankind. Jesus rose on the third day to gain permanent victory over death and the grave.
Lazrus IS THE ONLY NAME JESUS USES IN A PARABLE! The character is a dead man that a sinner "Rich man" asks to go back to earth and warn his brothers. Jesus says ,"If they will not believe the prophets neither will they believe a man come back from the Dead. THIS WAS PLANNED by Jesus from the begining. It a Super sign to everyone and the turning point in the Pharisees wanting to kill him. The Savior is just about to make it all better. It has ALWAYS been his plan to raise Lazrus. (He requires Mary and Martha's faith for this.But even though He knows it is JUST about to be better. "Jesus Wept"BECAUSE HE FEELS SORRY FOR WHAT HIS DISCIPLES HAD TO ENDURE TO SHOW HIS MIRACLES AND PLAN. Such a beautiful sign of His compassion and empathy for us going through trials to shine forth his greatness Even though he knows it is just about to be better,he understands how hard it is to go through.
Easter is also the Passover - we know no Jew, Hebrew or Israelite was allowed to cook, eat or offer LEAVENED Bread during Passover - it was a symbol for sin... and forbidden at Passover - so we know Leavened bread was not at the Last Supper - or offered by a Jewish Jesus to Jewish apostles - what does LDS offer you at Communion.... and why ? ?
You need to social distance. Like Emily on one side of the table and you are on the other. Please set a better example for us. This is important because Christ wants us to follow our govt it is in the Article of Faith.
angela_flute52689 but how “pre-recorded” are they? They kept mentioning the “difficult, confusing” time when everything is “different” they also talk about the quarantine.

I served in Randers in 1991! I loved that little branch..it was my first area and I learned so very much!
I really enjoy the way you two explain and enlight me with scriptures.
This class was wonderful for me. Thank you for teaching us how to improve our Easter week. Remembering our Savior every day of our lives will remind us how to center our home in Christ
From darkness, when it's too late, comes the light! It's not too dark or too late for Our Savior to do all in wisdom and love
Meeting Him by moving forward! Bec He goes before. I like that we can meet and look forward by moving forward! It's still to be yet
you guys are my life-line in these crazy times!! i love everything you two are posting!!! HAPPIEST EASTER!!!
Make your own wheat grass. Soak wheat berries over night, drain and sprout for two days, press wheat berries in planting soil, slightly water by misting cover berries with something heavy for a couple of days. It should be perfect by Easter. Thank you for your ideas.

Excellent as usual❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Emily! Where do you buy your clothes? They are beautiful!! And so are you.
You mentioned the eggs-the Cadbury eggs. Here in Pennsylvania, during the Easter season, churches make peanut butter, coconut (my favorite), and buttercream eggs to raise funds for their churches.

Thank you for letting me know, that makes sense then.

People have to remember that these are pre-recorded. They make the videos 2-4 weeks before they are actually released :)
Utah has been social distancing for about a month or so, but these are pre-recorded.
I get the newsletters but I did not get the easter one. I'm really bummed.
I was really loving this and felt the Spirit. It was really beautiful. And then it turned into a commercial… and it felt like suddenly you weren't sharing a universal message of peace and hope and joy in the Savior, but an infomercial for a product that is marketed towards upper middle class white women.

Yes! I think bringing those things into the lessons add so much to understanding more fully why he did what he did and in this story, the when.
Jezus (expected to come as king and deliverer) arrived on a donkey as Sacrifice.
Thank you again SO much for making life uplifted! But wait...what happens at the conclusion of the 4 standard works? A repeat, right? 🤞🙏
Thank you. Love reading comments of others too.
so is there not a video/lesson to go along with the journal page "Easter the witnesses and wonder of Holy week"?
Hi Katie! Try going to their Easter Celebration Videos from Last year that match the study guide :) ua-cam.com/video/sN19S-sFQ78/v-deo.html
I have not been able to find day 1 or 2 here or ldsliving. Where are they?
Go to LDS Living UA-cam channel and you have to scroll down quite far to last year Easter time and you'll find all Emily and David's Easter videos per day.
Where did you find those eggs that open and hang on the tree?

Are they just the Easter videos from last year?
Yes last year over at LDS Living
Anyone else confused about the relationship dynamic here.. married? Brother/sister? Mother/son?
So ambitious... a lifetime of gathered traditions in one week
A crown of thorns like the virus now... corona (crown) of thorns microscopically it's "thorny", I don't believe in coincidences
