Jesus Christ, King
Alma 5:50
Yea, thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, for the kingdom of heaven is at had; yea, the Son of God cometh in his glory, in his might, majesty, power, and dominion. Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, that the Spirit saith: Behold the glory of the King of all the earth; and also the King of heaven shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men.

"A Living Witness of the Living Christ"
Bishop Gerald Causse
"The central message of the Book of Mormon is to restore the true knowledge of the essential role of Jesus Christ in the salvation and exaltation of mankind. Through centuries of apostasy and spiritual confusion, the deeper meaning of what Christ did in Gethsemane and on Golgotha became lost or corrupted. How excited Joseph Smith must have felt when, as he was translating 1 Nephi, he discovered this marvelous promise: 'These last records, the Book of Mormon, shall establish the truth of the first, the Bible, and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved.'"

Today is the day, 25 years ago, that Carly Elmer drowned in our neighborhood swimming pool in Chandler. It was a terrible day but through this tragedy we came to realize what wonderful people the Elmer's were. Even though we rarely see them, they are our forever friends.
As I listened to the Scripture Study Project podcast I like the introductory discussion on: Learn, Feel, Do, Become. How will I become more like the Savior?
Through all that is going on in the world right now we need to know that God is with us. Hearts hurt and are crushed. Why does God allow suffering to happen? It's going on in the world right now and in Alma's life as we are reading in the scriptures. Suffering is a part of the mortal experience that we are to endure to prove ourselves to Heavenly Father.
When James went out to feed Luna this morning he said there were some mama elk and one little elk calf. He loves it when he sees some wildlife.
We had a visit from the Grapp family this afternoon. They came to pay us for the groceries we got for them at Costco. Their total was $106.39 and Thomas gave me 120 in cash. I tried to give him some change and he wouldn't take it, saying that the extra money was for our time and effort. Cammy brought us a treat, something they called Rev bars. They were quite delicious. We love the Grapp family. Liana, Benson, Tildy, Emsley, and Leland. Cammy is expecting another baby the end of July. Leland will have just turned two. Cammy is so talented. She showed me curtains she had made by sewing jean pockets together. She also showed me a jean quilt she is making for her baby doctor who just retired. Thomas is a quiet tower of strength and you can tell how much he loves his wife. When it came time for them to leave Benson threw a bit of a fit. He asked his dad if he could do something and Thomas said in almost a whisper, "I'm sorry son, but not after the temper you just showed." Benson was quiet after that. Very effective parenting.
The Grapp's are concerned about being prepared. They ordered 35 chicks to raise for food and eggs. They also bought a cow that was supposed to have a calf but when it was apparent she wasn't pregnant they are selling her back.

I didn't realize how much I miss being around people from church but I thoroughly enjoyed the Grapp's visit. They didn't stay long because they were going over to the Peeler's. Donna is an avid quilter and Cammy wanted to ask her some questions about the quilt she is making. Cammy says that Donna has 3 Conex storage units filled with fabric. Wow!
I told Liana I liked the shirt she had one. It said: "It's fine, I'm fine, Everything's fine. I guess it was a girls camp shirt because it said Camp Corona near the bottom. They didn't get to do girls camp this year. Liana said she got "camp in a bag." Smores ingredients, etc.
Brian texted us this evening. He asked for special prayers for he and Kim who are both struggling with the corona virus. He said the congestion felt like it was going down. James offered a special prayer for them before we went to bed.
While James was on his evening ride I began my gospel study. I also listened to a couple of songs from "Lamb of God." I fixed some dinner when he returned. Later we watched "Lark Rise to Candleford."
