Toledo II Ward Easter Activity

Resurrection Rolls was taught by Lindsey Empie
Resurrection rolls start out with ingredients...butter, cinnamon/sugar, crescent rolls, and a marshmallow.
They go through the Jewish Tradition of caring for their dead and discover that once their ingredients are baked...the marshmallow disappears out of it's tomb, just like Jesus Christ

Lindsey talking about the resurrection

Zach Jastal and Cory Coursen glad to see one another

Dylan and Luke

Nicholas has his marshmallow in hand

He dips it in the oil

and spices

Zach opens his roll to see if the marshmallow is there

The marshmallow is gone

Nephite Adventure was manned by Karen Benner
We talked about Jesus Christ coming to the Americas after his visit with his apostles
He taught and blessed the people in the Americas

Then the kids went in to the gym which represented what it was like when Jesus died on the cross. It was completely dark, and there were earthquakes and storms.
People desperately tried to find their families and return to their families

We blindfolded the other kids and they had to crawl around on their hands and knees to find their family (candy) and get to the temple
