Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Mormon newscast. It is Monday. It is March 16th. Yesterday was the aides of March. If you track that kind of thing, I've been on kind of a Roman kick lately. So I have been. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day. It's why I'm wearing green today. But sandwiching between those two notable days. We're here on the Mormon newscast. I'm Rebecca Bibliateka.

I am joined by Bill Real and Radio Free Mormon. How are the both of you today on Monday the 16th?

Doing great. At two, Rebecca. That's exactly right. It's what was the meanwhile I posted. It's not about the

stabbing. It's about people coming together to do the stabbing. Yeah, it's a wonderful

holidays. Yeah, I like it. Exactly. If you don't know what the eyes of March are, look them up. I'm sure everyone does. All right, let's go right to our slides. We have a number of stories today. There was quite a bit of news. It was just kind of pop, pop, pop hitting us from all sides. So I'll go through very quickly what we are going to talk about.

And then Bill has our lead story.

We're going to talk about.

And then Bill has our lead story. We're going to cover the Mormon Church gives one,

1.58 billion in 2025 to those in need. And there's a question mark after that. Bill will let

us know what's going on there. Mormon Easter update. I'm sure you can guess who's covering that

and kind of connected to that story is

RFM is going to be talking about the solemn assembly, which was announced. These two things go together

and you'll find out why. Another story is an update on an LDS doctor who was arrested for

alleged assault of his wife's friend. This is an update from a story I covered back in August, and I'll be

doing that update today. More Mormon child abuse, that is RFM, another story there. Apostle Razban's

cousin moves up the ranks. Bill is going to be telling us who this is and what position they

have moved up to. It's very interesting. I'm going to be talking

briefly about an LDS missionary who was attacked by a machete allegedly. This has not really been

in any other news that I've seen. So this is kind of a sad story we'll talk about. You know,

machetes don't attack missionaries. Missionaries attack missionaries. And that is true. There was something going on.

There's a lot of unrest, and we'll get to that for sure.
