Today I want to share an opportunity for you to help someone in need-- our friend, Becky Soderquist.
I first met Becky at Timpview High School, where I was impressed by how kind and cheerful she always was. She knew my sisters first, but was quick to befriend me and make me feel included. I really appreciated her kindness, as I was very shy.
Fast forward a few years and Spencer and I are now happily married and enjoying Spencer's position as a hall advisor for BYU. Becky, coincidentally, is also a hall advisor. She's a great hall advisor and a very loving mother to her daughter, Julia.
Becky struggles with infertility. It's a surprisingly common problem-- 1 in 10 couples will struggle with infertility. It's a very heartbreaking, exhausting, and expensive disease. Becky will either need special treatments to help her become pregnant, or she will need to adopt. Both are very expensive.
Becky is selling some beautiful resurrection-themed easter eggs to help raise the money for a baby. The eggs are made of the finest quality materials and contain scriptures from the Easter story and items that represent those scriptures. They are a wonderful way to teach young children the story and meaning of Christ's resurrection. I haven't had a chance to see these eggs yet, but we have a simpler version that we love. All proceeds from these eggs will go directly to Becky's baby fund.
If you are able to, please consider buying a set of these eggs to help Becky. It would mean a lot to her and us. This is something that is very near and dear to my heart because we have also been struggling with infertility. I know firsthand how difficult, painful, and expensive infertility is. Any support you can give would be greatly appreciated.

If you can't afford the full price, you can donate any amount to help Becky here: http://traditionswetreasure.com/product/baby-becky-fundraiser/.
Please consider donating, even if it's just a dollar or two. Every little bit helps.
If you really can't afford to donate anything, please don't feel pressured. I understand that not everyone is at a point where they can spare the money. But, I would ask that you at least spread the word and let people know about the Resurrection eggs. It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the true spirit of Easter by helping someone in need.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, That . . . ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy . . . In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
