  • Captian Moroni and Pahoran retake the Government

    Moroni accuses Pahoran of neglecting their armies, being lazy, and a selfish traitor.  Pahoran does not get angry.  He thanks Moroni for his letter and asks him to come help him get the government back from the King men so they can get sufficient supplies and armies to regain peace in the land. “Life is perfect for none of us!  Rather than being judgemental may we have the pure love of Christ for others.”  Pahoran is a great example of this.

  • Moroni letter to Pahoran

    Moroni and his Nephite captains have been engaged in war against their enemies a long time.  They are short on supplies and are not getting additional soldiers for help.  They are in serious trouble.  Moroni is very upset with the government that they are not sending the additional help His men need.  In his anger he writes a mean letter to the Chief Judge, Pahoran.  He says some very unkind things and many things that were not true.  Pahoran does not get angry.  Pahoran writes back and says not only that he forgives Moroni for being upset, but that He loves him for his great heart and desire to do what is right.  Pahoran is a great example to us to not take offense and get upset back.  But to forgive and focus on the good in others.

  • Amalikiah poisons Lehonti by degrees

    Amalikiah was a Nephite. He wanted to lead.  He started to use flattery (telling people nice things to get them to do what you want) to get people to follow him.  Moroni (the captain of the Nephite armies) was very concerned.  He made the title of Liberty to remind the Nephites to protect their homes, their families and the right to choose.  He then led a war against Amalikiah and his men.  Amalikiah realized he was going to loose and so he fled with some of the men who followed him. They went and joined the Lamanites. Amalikiah convinced the King to put him in charge of the army. Amalikiah used his flattery and 4 times tried to get Lehonti (and the Lamanites who did not want to go to war) to come down the mountain and talk with him. The last time Amalikiah came almost all the way up and told Lehonti to bring his guards. Lehonti went. Amalikiah convinced Lehonti to surround his army at night and told him he would surrendor is Lehonti would make him second in command. Lehonti captured Amalikiah’s army and then Amalikiah’s servants began to slowly poison Lehonti. Lehonti died and Amalikiah was now King of the Lamanites!

  • Captain Moroni and the Title of Liberty

    Moroni was the Chief Commander of the Nephite Army.  Amalikiah was a Nephite that decided He no longer wanted to be a Nephite…He wanted to be incharge and He convinced many Nephites that if they put him incharge he would give them a position of honor.  He was so good at saying what the people wanted to hear, many Nephites stopped believing in the teachings of the church and started to follow Amalikiah.  Captain Moroni was so concerned with the numbers of Nephites falling away.  He ripped his coat and made the title of Liberty.  It talked about the people remembering the importance of God, their families, their freedoms, and their religion.  He made copies of the title of liberty and put them on towers all throughout their land.  Many Nephites came running to help fight against the dissenters before they could join with the Lamanites and come against them in war. Moroni knew who could help him, God.  God answered Moroni’s prayers and helped him know how to defeat Amalikiah and the disenters.
