Alma Ch8

Alma now moves on to the Land of Melek where he preaches and baptized. Then when he visits Ammonihah, he is rejected and is commanded to return to try again when he leaves. The Lord has prepared Amulek, who is known by the people to receive him and they preach together.
There were many more things that Alma taught the people of Gideon, but they weren't written (v1). Alma went back home for a while to rest from his long trip, then in year 10 he goes to Melek to preach again (v2-4). They received him with joy and many were baptized throughout the land, and that's all we hear about what happened there before Alma went to Ammoniah (v5-6). Most places are named after the founder, and in this city, Satan had got control over the hearts of the people so they wouldn't listen to him (v7-9). Regardless of the rejections, Alma labored and prayed to touch their hearts, but the people already knew that he was the high priest over the church that they didn't want to be apart of and Alma doesn't have power over them because he resigned as chief judge (v10-12).
The people cast him out and Alma headed towards Aaron filled with great sadness because of the people of Ammoniah (v13-14). An angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, 'Cheer up because you are doing what you are supposed to be doing, I'm the same guy that converted you when you were a punk kid, and I'm here again to say you need to go back and try again with the people of Ammoniah because they are in the mind set that you used to be in' (v15-17). Alma was quick to return and when he got there he was hungry, so he asked a random guy for food and was surprised to find a friend who the Lord had prepared to help Alma (v18-20). In a vision, the random guy, whose name is Amulek, was told all about Alma, and he was willing to give bread and housing to Alma for his time in the city (v21-22).
Alma blessed Amulek for his service and tells of his command to preach the word of God to the people, but that they had rejected him and he was told to return (v23-25). Amulek housed him for a while before they both went out to preach repentance to the people who had grown more iniquitous (v26-30). They were blessed with the Holy Ghost to help them exercise power to withstand bands of prison and testify of the spirit and power of the Lord by being an example (v31-32).
