-Moroni is always preparing, making sure their cities are fortified and protected and that everyone has the provisions that they need. What a great lesson this is to make the preparations of your home and family a top priority.
-Intrigue and dissensions among the Nephites-->dangerous circumstances
-Interesting situation that the people of Ammon are put in--they have made an oath to never fight again, but nearly break that oath because their great friends and protectors, the Nephites, are in danger.
-We can find ourselves in similar situations--moments when compromising the promises and covenants we have made may seem like the 'smarter' or 'easier' thing to do, but we must remember the blessings that come from keeping true to those covenants
-Also interesting to note that their sons took up an oath almost exactly opposite of the oath they had made just so that they could protect their Fathers
-Very neat that it states that these people, though they did not fight w/ Nephite armies, "they never had hitherto been a disadvantage to the Nephites..."
-Could you receive a better compliment than this?: " They were men who were true at all times, in whatsoever thing they were entrusted."
