In order to celebrate and reflect upon the resurrection of Christ on this Easter Sunday, the Elders and Relief Society each had lessons focused on this subject. My wife and I separated at the end of Sunday School into our respective classes, prepared to talk and ponder more on the Savior and the Atonement. What happened in the following hour exemplified the difference between the Relief Society and Elders Quorum. My wife told me that in her class the teacher took them through all the New Testament scriptures detailing the death and resurrection of Christ, and how this has impacted the lives of every person. Multiple women shared their experiences of how the atonement has changed their lives and the lives of their family members in extraordinary ways. The women were filled with the Spirit and a few tears were shed. In contrast, as the lesson began in Elders quorum, a large flat screen TV was wheeled in and the teacher hooked up his iPad. For the next hour we watched the new short films produced by the LDS church. The movies were pretty good, although I enjoy the older ones a bit more. At the end of church, my wife and I shared what we had learned. We had a laugh at the difference in lessons.
