HOSANNA, HOSANNA, HOSANNA!
Christ made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem for what he knew was the beginning of the end of his life, less than a week away.
People lined the streets and shouted HOSANNA.
What a beautifully symbolic and reverent experience to participate in a Hosanna shout as we commemorate the original Hosanna shout.
Palm leaves. White handkerchiefs. Hands.
We unite with saints past, present, and future, in waving and shouting.
JOY
ENERGY
REVERENCE
EXCITEMENT
GRAVITY
LOVE
All of these emotions encompassed in one single word: HOSANNA.
And that word reminds us that we can find these complicated but important emotions each and every day.
We can find HOSANNA moments.
At a repetitive job.
After taking care of a baby all day.
After writing yet another paper.
After staying inside day after day.
After a historic proclamation is read to the world.
When some person is just riding a donkey into town.
It’s because of our intention and our testimonies.
When we understand who our Savior is, then we look for and FIND all the good, God-filled moments around us.
What an emotional and memorable beginning to Easter Week. #PalmSunday
Happy Studying!

My testimony has grown so strong from all that took place this last conference. I was so full of the spirit and Holy Ghost, that my was over whelmed. It was such a humbling experience I didn’t want it too end. I felt like it could go on for ever. I’m now thinking this may have been a small ounce of what I might of felt in the pre-existence. I now can only look forward to the day I can meet my loving Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ.
Oh man, I agree! Wasn’t this Conference just the best?! The perfect definition of a “spiritual high”.
