Alma 31:1-23
1 - Alma's heart sickens when he hears of the perversions of the Zoramites.
2 - It caused Alma sorrow to hear of iniquity among his people.
3 - The Zoramites live in Antionum.
4 - The Nephites feared the Zoramites would enter into a correspondence with the Lamanites.
5 - Preaching has a more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword. Alma wants to try the virtue of the word of God.
6 - He took Ammon, Aaron, Omner, Amulek, Zeezrom, Shiblon and Corianton with him. He left Himni and Helaman in Zarahemla.
8 - The Zoramites were dissenters from the Nephites so they had heard the gospel.
9 - They had fallen into great errors. They would not keep the commandments of God.
10 - They would not pray daily.
11 - They did pervert the ways of the Lord.
12 - The Zoramites built synagogues and had a strange way of worshipping.
13 - A stand to admit one person.
14 - Cry with a loud voice saying:
15 - Holy God we believe that thou art a Spirit.
16 - We are separated from our brethren and we don't believe their foolish traditions. Thou hast elected us to be thy holy children. There shall be no Christ.
17 - Thou hast elected us to be saved while others are destroyed. We are not bound down to Christ.
18 - We thank thee that we are a chosen and holy people.
19 - Alma and his brethren are astonished beyond measure at these prayers.
20 - Every man went forth and offered the same prayer.
21 - The places was called Rameumpton being interpreted is holy stand.
23 - After offering up thanks they returned to their homes never speaking of God until the next week.

I cleaned upstairs this morning and worked outside in the garage. The garage is looking better but we still have alot of stuff to put away. I am mainly sweeping and putting things in piles to be put away. Oh yes, I held a board so James could run it through the power saw. Sometimes you don't have to have any skill to help.
James had a doctor's appointment with Dr. Moffat today to get a referral for a new C-pap machine. He ask me if I would go with him and I said yes. I made some menus for the week and got my shopping list prepared so i could count this as my weekly shopping. When you don't buy meat your grocery bill is so much less.
We got food at Panda. I had the steamed rice and veggies again and James had Pacific shrimp and veggies with no rice or noodles. Both we yummy.
I mailed a birthday card and the CTR necklace I got Aurora for her baptism today. I hope she gets it before next Monday.
I love this.
Wildlife report: One squirrel. He was a "super" squirrel though.
James was in charge of FHE. We listened to two Ensign articles. The first was: "Like the Widow of Zarapeth: The Miracle of Fast Offerings." Here are a few notes I took: Give for your own welfare. Giving decreases selfishness and increases spirituality.
The last was called: "My Journey as a Pioneer from India." This was a pretty amazing story. This man's first contact with the church was President Spencer W. Kimball and they remained friends until President Kimball's death.
We were in bed by 9:00.
