Penguin Sweaters
Cute story and church related too!

Mormon women in New South Wales are knitting sweaters for penguins. Doll size, tight-fitting wool sweaters keep this breed of “fairy” penguins warm as they recover from exposure to oil spills off coastal Australia, dramatically raising their survival rate.

For a more appropriate Easter message, here is the First Presidency’s Easter Message:

“At this wonderful season of hope and renewal we testify of the glorious reality of the
atonement and resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. The empty tomb brought the most
comforting assurance that can come into man’s heart. This was the affirmative answer to
the ageless question raised by Job, “If a man die, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14).

“As stated by the angel on that first resurrection morn, “Why seek ye the living among
the dead?” (Luke 24:5). “He is not here: for he is risen, as he said” (Matthew 28:6).

“This is the promise of the risen Lord. This is the relevance of Jesus to a world in which
all must die. Of all the victories in human history, none is so great, none so universal in
its effect, none so everlasting in its consequences as the victory of the crucified Lord,
who came forth in the resurrection that first Easter morning.”
