Alma 57:1-16

1 - Ammoron wants to exchange Nephite prisoners for the city Antiparah.

2 - Moroni says no.  He would only exchange prisoners for prisoners.

3 - Ammoron says no, so the Nephites prepare to go against the city of Antiparah.

4 - The people of Antiparah left the city and thus the Nephites took the city Antiparah.

5 - Thus ended the 28th year.

6 - In the 29th year the Nephites received provisions, 6,000 men and 60 more Ammonites.

7 - The Nephites desire to battle the amanites guarding the city of Cumeni.

8 - The Nephites did surround Cumeni by night before they received a supply of provisions.

9 - The Nephites caped outside Cumeni for many nights.

10 - The Nephites take the Lamanites provisions.

11 - The Nephites send the Lamanite provisions to Judea and their prisoners of war to Zarahemla.

12 - The Lamanites eild up Cumeni to the Nephites.

13 - The Nephites have a huge amount of Lamanites prisoners of war.

14 - They had to slay 2,000 of them because they fought with stones and clubs to be free.

16 - The rest of the prisoners of war were sent to Zarahemla.

I finished reading "The Lincoln Hypothesis."

It was a beautiful overcast morning with rain.  James and I were both so tired from being out late last night that we went back to bed.  We slept a couple of hours or so.  It was after ten when we got up again.  I studied and fixed pesto flatbread and a salad for lunch.  

Eltz Castle, not sure where.

We left for the valley around 4:20.  We stopped for gas and to get our car washed again and then to Walmart to pick up my folic acid prescription.  I also got a big almond Hershey bar for Addy for her birthday tomorrow.  

This picture was taken a couple of years ago at

Chino Bandido's in Chandler.

James, Molly, and Ruby.

Lola is at it again, following Evan around.

James and I stopped at Burger House in Miami for dinner.  We ate in and then ordered some burros to go for lunch tomorrow for us and Terry and Cathi.  Tonight I had a chicken enchilada and some refried beans.  Good, but not as good as La Casita's use to be.

We arrived at Cathi and Terry's around 9pm just like I told her we would.  We talked a little while with Cathi about the 25 million name marriage project FamilySearch has been hired to do by FindMyPast.  Cathi of course is working on it.
