23 I am Ammoron, and a descendant of Zoram, whom your fathers pressed and brought out of Jerusalem.
24 And behold now, I am a bold Lamanite; behold, this war hath been waged to avenge their wrongs, and to maintain and to obtain their rights to the government; and I close my epistle to Moroni.
The notion that rule is something gained at birth is still alive and well in Tonga. Here it is birth order that is emphasized. Laman and Lemuel should take the leadership positions because they were older than Nephi. We still practice it to some degree here in the good old U. S. of A. 

Our Personal Ministries - Hugo E. Martinez
Like Brother Udine Falabella, father of Elder Enrique R. Falabella, used to say, “He who serves in some thing is good for something; he who serves in no thing is good for nothing.” 
As Sister Linda K. Burton, Relief Society general president, said, “First observe, then serve.”
We have the special opportunity to be instruments in His hands. We can be so in our marriages, in our families, with our friends, and with our fellowman. That is our personal ministry as true disciples of Jesus Christ.
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Looove my EMZ!!! The lady who started it all Sinai just started working at Jet Blue. She shared with us that she failed her test yesterday. She said it reminded her of a time when she first started teaching Zumba and they let her go after 3 months thinking she wouldn't be able to attract enough people for a full class. 

She has helped so many people. She said that made her want to do even better and try harder to improve as an instructor. I and many other people are grateful she never gave up.
