Today's Favorite Verse: Mosiah 25:11, 17-18
"And again, when they thought upon the Lamanites, who were their brethren, of their sinful and polluted state, they were filled with pain and anguish for the welfare of their souls.
And it came to pass that after Alma had taught the people many things, and had made an end of speaking to them, that king Limhi was desirous that he might be baptized; and all his people were desirous that they might be baptized also.
Therefore, Alma did go forth into the water and did baptize them; yea, he did baptize them after the manner he did his brethren in the waters of Mormon; yea, and as many as he did baptize did belong to the church of God; and this because of their belief on the words of Alma."
I cried when I thought about the Lamanites, and how there are people today I feel the same way about. Maybe not people that want to kill me, like the Lamanites did the Nephites, but people that have lost their way. It's really hard to see people fall away from the gospel.
Then I cried when I thought of king Limhi and his people. What an amazing spiritual feast the baptism of all those people must have been.
