My father wrote me again, saying: My beloved son, I am still alive. I have had a terrible battle with the Lamanites. Archeantus has fallen by the sword and Luram and Emron. Many of our great men have been killed.
Our people will not repent. I think the Lamanites will kill us all. Satan gets them to hate each other. They are so mad that they have no fear of death. They constantly thirst for killing and revenge. The people are cruel and enjoy evil.
The suffering of our women and children is more than I can say. I cannot talk any more about this horrible sight.
But let us work hard. God would be sad if we gave up. We have a duty to do for Him. My son, I trust you will be saved. Be faithful in Christ. I hope to see you again. Amen.
