Jesus Christ, Redeemer
Isaiah 60:16
Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

"God Loves His Children"
Elder Taniela B. Wakolo
Of the Seventy
 While my wife was teaching missionaries, this thought penetrated my soul: "Taniela, all these experiences are for your own good and development. You have been teaching and sharing your testimony about the Atonement of Jesus Christ; now live accordingly."
I was reminded that "happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore we should despise not . . . the chastening of the Almighty" (Job 5:17). It was a spiritual surgery for me, and the outcome was immediate.

"They Cannot Prevail; We cannot Fall"
Elder Chi Hong (Sam) Wong
Of the Seventy
I testify to you that Christ will come again a second time as He did the first time, but this time it will be with great glory and majesty. I hope and pray that I will be ready to receive Him, whether on this side of the veil or on the other side. As we celebrate in this wonderful Easter season, I hope, through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the power of His Resurrection, I will be able to go up and meet with my Maker and say, "Thank you."


Family Proclamation
#8
We Warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.

Inklings
"In Him, we find cause to do good, reason to be good, and increasing capacity to become better. In Him, we discover abiding faith, liberating selflessness, caring change, and trust in God. In His Inn, we find and deepen our personal relationship with God, our Father; and Jesus Christ." - Elder Gerrit W. Gong

At 7 this morning I went into the kitchen to stack the chocolate cake layers. I had to cut the "humps" off all 3 and of course I had to sample them. As Mary says on "The Great British Baking Show" when she likes something, they were scrummy! I made the same homemade chocolate frosting I use on a Texas sheetcake, and frosted the cake. I put a row of edible pearls around the bottom, put the 1 candle on top and put a few pink sprinkles on the top of the cake under the candle. Walla, it's ready for delivery. Now I need to go get ready to deliver.

Kathy and I meet near her gate at 9 o'clock. I motion for her to go ahead. This is the DeWitt's home:

You can't see it but there is a sign that says:
Our Happy Place

The 1 signifies that you are #1
on your birthday
I was glad Kathy was there when we sang "Happy Birthday"

Collin has said Wendy might be sleeping but she was awake and ready for company. Kathy brought Cafe Rio chicken burros with all the fixings. I brought the cake and a gift. We visited for awhile with the DeWitt's and then it was time to go. Kathy has an appointment in town. Collin rented a chair for Wendy that is a recliner and is easy to get out of. I guess there is a Rent-A-Center in Show Low near Cal-Ranch. Collin helped Wendy do her hair. I thought it looked great.

I realized after I was almost home that I had left my cake carrier on the dining room table. I texted Collin and said:
Which goes first, the mind or the body? With me it's both! Sorry I forgot my cake carrier. Maybe you could bring it on Sunday.
Collin texted back: Mind v. Body is truly a foot race. I will bring it to you with chocolate all over my face. What a wonderful cake. Wendy forked half of it. Thank you so much.

When I got home there was water running in the garage. It's the hot water heater. I turned off the hot water and it stopped. Just something else for James to fix. 

James came home this evening and brought me a mixed burro from Burger House. It made a delicious dinner. James lost his pills. They must have dropped out of his bag on the ground somewhere.
