Today's Favorite Verse: Alma 23:6-7

"And as sure as the Lord liveth, so sure as many as believed, or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth, through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren, according to the spirit of revelation and of prophecy, and the power of God working miracles in them - yea, I say unto you, as the Lord liveth, as many of the Lamanites as believed in their preaching, and were converted unto the Lord, never did fall away.

For they became a righteous people; they did lay down the weapons of their rebellion, that they did not fight against God any more, neither against any of their brethren."

With the conversion of king Lamoni's father the way was opened up for the gospel to be taught to the Lamanites. Many were converted and that conversion was so complete they "never did fall away". What choice people they were. They lay down their weapons of war to never fight again. They no longer called themselves Lamanites, but Anti-Nephi-Lehies instead. I could not help but ponder on how the gospel heals all wounds. It will heal all nations, if we but come unto Christ. I just had to sit and weep at the thought of their conversion and the goodness of their hearts. Enemies no more and now they were industrious and friendly to the Nephites. They opened up a correspondence with them and the curse of God no longer followed them. That is just so beautiful.
