I did it... (5/9)

Well thank heavens for a new day and a new start!
The end of March and beginning of April were full of many activities, visitors and such.
Apparently it's taken me until May to get back on here!

I am thankful for...
A brand new day.  No matter how rough the day or night before was, things always look different in the morning, and I'm thankful for that.  Sometimes we just need to close our eyes and stop, sleep provides that!
Today I'm thankful to be feeling better, felt yuck last night, even threw up, today I feel shaky, but better.  I'm thankful for my health.

Study time...
I finished Alma!  Hooray!  I read the first three chapters of Helaman today.
Let me go back a little because after all of the wars and killing, at the end of Alma in ch. 62:27, 28.  The Nephites took the city Nephihah w/o any bloodshed.  And, the Lamanites that wanted to, the prisoners, were allowed to join the people of Ammon to become free people.  Mercy is what we talked about for FHE last week.  It makes you wonder where the hearts of the Lamanites were at.  Did they want to fight?  Were they just being loyal?  Were they afraid to die, so said they wanted to join? 
In v. 29 they now begin to toil the ground, learn to work and become productive, making a change in their lives. 
Struck, by the mercy to offer freedom to someone so intent on killing you.
Wonder about the hearts of the Lamanites.
See the pattern today of those who are willing to change.  Give them tools, help them take care of themselves, maybe they haven't had a knowledge to work with.
