I was thinking this morning, that if Alma and Ammon, and their friends has joy that was so full at the time this happened, what must be their joy now, when they can see from heaven all the people whose lives have been changed because of their words that are written in the Book of Mormon? How many people might be affected by words I write, or experiences I share?
Alma 26
“30 And we have suffered all manner of afflictions, and all this, that perhaps we might be the means of saving some soul; and we supposed that our joy would be full if perhaps we could be the means of saving some. 31 Now behold, we can look forth and see the fruits of our labors; and are they few? I say unto you, Nay, they are many; yea, and we can witness of their sincerity, because of their love towards their brethren and also towards us. 32 For behold, they had rather sacrifice their lives than even to take the life of their enemy; and they have buried their weapons of war deep in the earth, because of their love towards their brethren.”
