Gadianhi was the leader of the Gadianton Robbers. He wrote a letter to Lachoneus (the leader of the Nephites) demanding their lands, their animals, their food…everything! He uses the devices Satan uses. 1-He flatters, 2-He lies, 3- He calls him foolish, 4- He threatens, 5-He says it is all theirs anyway, and 6-then he says if they don’t listen and agree they will come destroy them! Lachoneus is not afraid. He knows God is on his side. He knows with God we can do ANYTHING! He tells the people the same thing our prophets and leaders tell us. 1- pray, 2- gather together, 3- fortify and protect, 4- repent. The Gadianton Robbers come to war. Their is a huge battle and the Nephites win. It tells us they cry and are so grateful to God. The know He protected them because of their obedience and repentance. God will always be with us. Even in really hard things, if we pray, and repent and obey.
