Post by King Lamoni – Lamanite King I share the following with you emotionally conflicted. Consider blending embarrassment, guilt, pride, remorse, relief, and the deepest gratitude that a living human can experience. Now you have my current emotional status. I just stood against my own father, the very king of many Lamanite kingdoms. If you…

Ammon begged me to tell the whole story
Post by Abish – The reason I’m telling this story is because Ammon begged me to. He said that I was the only one who knew the whole story. Even he wasn’t an eyewitness to the whole of it. And remember, it was many years ago this happened so forgive me if I don’t include…
Believest thou in the Great Spirit?
What do you say when a king tells you he will give you whatever you desire if you will tell him about the things you’ve done by the power of God?
Are you that Great Spirit?
I think King Lamoni commanded me to care for his sheep with his other servants because it would keep me out of trouble while he had more important things to do. He would deal with the Nephite later. The king’s father was preparing a great feast for his sons, the kings of various lands. King…

Astonishment and God’s work seem to go together.
Post by Ammon – Son of King Mosiah, brother of Omnor, Aaron, Himni Astonishment seems to be a word often used as we share our experiences in this blog. Here’s another time I wish I had a better word. It’s been fourteen years since my last entry, and if you can look back that far,…
Astonished is not the right word.
Post by Ammon – The word astonish doesn’t do this post justice. I wish we had a better word to express our response to what just happened. My three brothers and I, along with Alma, were numbered among the unbelievers by our parents and the priests and, well everybody belonging to the church. As I…
Vilest of Sinners, ha!
Post by Ammon – I shouldn’t be the one posting here. Of my brothers and I and Alma, Alma is the wordy one. But he has a way of influencing with words and insists I be the one to stand up against the oppression from my father, King Mosiah and Alma’s father, the High Priest….
