Book of Mormon Comic

                My little sister, Gina, is a truly remarkable artist.  And last Sunday she wrote and illustrated a little Book of Mormon comic- which I have to share because it is so hilarious.  The comic is based on four verses, Alma 57: 30-33, narrated by a chief captain of the Nephite army named Gid:

30 Behold, we did start to go down to the land of Zarahemla with our prisoners. And it came to pass that we did meet the spies of our armies, who had been sent out to watch the camp of the Lamanites.
31 And they cried unto us, saying—Behold, the armies of the Lamanites are marching towards the city of Cumeni; and behold, they will fall upon them, yea, and will destroy our people.
32 And it came to pass that our prisoners did hear their cries, which caused them to take courage; and they did rise up in rebellion against us.
 33 And it came to pass because of their rebellion we did cause that our swords should come upon them. And it came to pass that they did in a body run upon our swords, in the which, the greater number of them were slain; and the remainder of them broke through and fled from us.


There is more to the story in Alma 57; if you would like to know how the Lamanites came to be POW’s and the fate of the city Cumeni.
