2 I, Pahoran, who am the chief governor of this land, do send these words unto Moroni, the chief captain over the army. Behold, I say unto you, Moroni, that I do not joy in your great afflictions, yea, it grieves my soul.

3 But behold, there are those who do joy in your afflictions, yea, insomuch that they have risen up in rebellion against me, and also those of my people who are freemen, yea, and those who have risen up are exceedingly numerous.



 8 They have got possession of the land, or the city, of Zarahemla; they have appointed a king over them, and he hath written unto the king of the Lamanites, in the which he hath joined an alliance with him; in the which alliance he hath agreed to maintain the city of Zarahemla, which maintenance he supposeth will enable the Lamanites to conquer the remainder of the land, and he shall be placed king over this people when they shall be conquered underthe Lamanites.
19 And now, Moroni, I do joy in receiving your epistle, for I was somewhat worried concerning what we should do, whether it should be just in us to go against our brethren.

This could have gone sooo wrong. Pahoran  could have responded badly. I know I would want to ask Moroni where he got off condemning me when I was subject to civil war in the homeland. They neglected Moroni not because they were lazy or unfeeling. They were driven from their own homes. They had to worry about just surviving themselves. 
I'm glad this record was preserved. Even prophets of God can misunderstand, YES even WITH the spirit guiding them. 

I looove my nieces and nephews. They are so much fun. Mom and I went to the Lindon Walmart on the way home so I could pick up a waffle maker for 9-something and she wanted shoes she saw advertised there for the same price. The line was unbelievable just to check out. I will NEVER do that again!!! Not anytime soon anyway. I am fine to buy stuff online at deep discounts. ALSO I would've rather paid full price than go through that. We had to park at Wells Fargo bank. 

My Chinese friend Mike from the ward posted his non-traditional no-turkey meal last night. I want to take food to him but I don't feel like I know him well enough and I don't want him to get the wrong idea. I do like him and I wouldn't mind dating him as far as I know right now BUUUT I don't know him well enough for him to stick out more than any of the other guys in our ward. If he was a girl it would be easy to share Thanksgiving goodies with him. 

We are going to see Nata a lot soon. She is going through the temple in the next week or two and I might have to be her escort. Her farewell testimony is on December 14th too. I love her so much and I'm so excited for her. 

I want to fast with her the day she goes. The symbolism in the temple is so heavy. She has to focus on how she feels because everything will be strange to her if she doesn't have the spirit with her. I want her to have the amazing glorious feeling she can experience nowhere else. It would be such a treat to be her escort.
