Alma Ch58

More Nephite victories through stratagem cause Lamanites to withdraw in this chapter, along with another miraculous story about the sons of the Ammonites. And this is also a continuation of Helman's letter to Moroni, yup still not done:
     "So after retaking Cumeni, I set my sights on Manti, but we couldn't use the same tricks as before because they were expecting it (v1). We also couldn't attack them straight on because we weren't that strong, so I planned to wait for reinforcements (v2-3). So we waited, and waited, and received some provisions while the Lamanites attacked every once in a while trying to weaken us (v4-6). This waiting game lasted many months and we never knew why help was not being sent, but we constantly prayed for strength and comfort until a party of 2,000 men came with provisions which we were grateful for (v7-12).
    "We marched against the Lamanites at Manti, but they saw us coming and saw that they were stronger so they came to battle instead of letting us surround them (v13-15). I had Gid's men hide in the wilderness on the right and Teomner's men hide in the wilderness on the left while I stayed in the middle to bait the Lamanites to come into the wilderness away from their city (v16-19). Gid and Teomner then went to the city to attack and take possession while I let the Lamanites towards Zarahemla, so they stopped and started back to the city but took the night resting (v20-24).
     "I assume he thought we were tired from marching all day but even if we were, we marched towards Manti anyway so we could beat the Lamanites there and join the rest of the army at the city which scared the Lamanites away when they realized they lost the city (v25-30). With that city back, we had taken back all the cities in this part of the land and now have Nephite families coming back home and we stay to protect as best we can without back up from the government (v31-36). Honestly, it doesn't matter if any are sent because God will protect us, and I know this because these sons of the people of Ammon are so faithful and steadfast in keeping the commandments, the Lord will continue to bless them (v37-41)."
