The more I see how much Heavenly Father allows His children to exercise their agency in ways that are counterproductive the easier it is to believe that the breadth and force of the king’s edict protecting Ammon, Aaron, Omner, Himni, and their brethren might have contributed to the persecution of those who were converted.
