Lamoni is sleeping in the power of God. That is probably a very relaxing and rejuvenating rest. I imagine he woke up with a lot of energy. 
Ammon takes every opportunity he can to bear his testimony; "For as sure as thou livestock, behold, I have seen my Redeemer; and he shall come forth, and be born of a women, and he shall redeem all mankind who believe on his name."
I love the word believe. I think believing has a lot more to it then most people think. To believe in something means you must act in accordance to that belief.
Abish is one of my favorite people in the Book of Mormon. She has such great faith for a long time among nonbeliever and stil stays strong. It's interesting to me thought that it says she never told anyone of her testimony nor the vision her father had.
Alma 19:19 it's interesting beginning in this verse "the people start to murmur among themselves;"
They just saw a miracle and that's all they can think to do?
It's amazing to me the mercy God has for us as His people even when we sin, go again what we know to be right, and even complain about what we are supposed to learn.
We need to act as if we are converted every single day by improving our lives, and if we aren't converted we need to become that way by praying to know and understand the truthfulness of the Gospel. 

Blessing- I was able to get a lot of the basement at Jeasicas parents house cleaned.

The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
