The Book of Mormon: Part 25 (Alma chapters 20-36)
This episode is part 25 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.
This episode covers chapters 20-26 of the book of Alma. We continue the account of the sons of Mosiah as missionaries to the Lamanites. After King Lamoni was converted, he and Ammon went to Middoni to free Ammon's brothers from prison. However, they encountered Lamoni's father along the way. Ammon battled "king dad" and convinced him to release his brothers and let his son reign as he wishes.
The brothers do more mission work in an ancient city of Jerusalem but get resistance from Amalekites, Amulonites, and Nehorites. Eventually, Aaron, one of the brothers goes to "king dad" in the land of Nephi and sees a conversion similar to what King Lamoni experienced. As many Lamanites were converted, others tried to attack them.
We also learn a bit of the geography of the lands of the Book of Mormon and wonder what part of the western hemisphere this all allegedly describes.
