Jesus Christ, Judge
Alma 12:15
But this cannot be; we must come forth and stand before him in his glory, and in his power, and in his might, majesty, and dominion, and acknowledge to our everlasting shame that all his judgments are just; that he is just in all his works, and that he is merciful unto the children of men, and that he has all power to save every man that believeth on his name and bringeth forth fruit meet for repentance.

"Because of the Christ on Calvary"
Brad Wilcox
I got a call early this morning from Sheri. I guess Elder Manu, the elder who wanted to go home, tried to commit suicide last night. Ben was very close to him and he is heartbroken. He feels guilty that maybe he gave him the wrong advice. Anyway, Elder Manu had to go home and now Ben is spiraling into a depression. He doesn't want to do anything. This is the fourth elder who has tried to commit suicide since Ben has been an AP. I wonder if this is characteristic of other missions. It seems awfully high. The quarantine is much of the problem right now. We are worried about Ben and are praying for him along with our fasting and praying regarding Covid-19.
I finished the "Divine Gift of Forgiveness" on Deseret Book Plus and started Brad Wilcox's book, "Because of the Christ on Calvary."
Luna is here! James, Tom, and Anthony all brought her over this morning in Tom's truck and trailer. As soon as James put her in the corral she started whinnying. Maybe we should have named her Whinny. I went out and fed her a couple of apples and a couple of carrots. She seems to like to eat things off the ground. I tried to pet her. At first she kept moving away but then she was okay with it.
I had to take some pictures and send them to Addy.
James is going to fatten her up. He says she is
too skinny.
Trina texted me to ask about the potato salad recipe in Lois's cookbook. She also asked me what butter beans were. She says she hates to cook but she is going to make these two things for Darrel for Easter. I hope they turn out well for her.
We got pictures of Charlie with her Easter basket today. She is so adorable!
I love her crinkled nose!
How can I stand not being with her?
Kim and Brian had an interesting experience this afternoon. I'm going to quote from the text they sent:
"Brian and I went for a drive today just to get out of the house for a while. We eventually ended up at the Gilbert temple.
As we approached we saw a white dove flying around the temple. I felt hope.
As we were leaving, we stopped again for a minute to take a picture. As we were leaving 7 white doves flew away.
It made me feel peaceful and hopeful. Everything will be ok
Love you guys!"
James says that white doves are very rare in Arizona. I've never seen one.
I think Kim needed something to give her hope and this was what she was given. I wonder if she got a picture. I am going to ask.
James went on a two hour ride this evening with Luna. They saw three herd of elk. James was looking for elk antlers. This is the time of year when they shed them. Anthony told of someone he knows out where he lives that rode along the fence line and found several pair.
When James got home we broke our fast with a new chili recipe.
Afterwards we watched "The Other Side of Heaven 2". James loved it and I liked it too. It was a little sad in parts.
