April 2020 Books
This April, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of the First Vision, we watched a very special general conference due to COVID-19, and we celebrated Easter–all in the midst of a beautifully blooming spring.
There were so many things to celebrate! And that was only in the first two weeks of this month!
Here are books that I put on display that relate to each of those special occasions:
