My dad designed this months cover of the Friend magazine. A magazine the LDS church puts out for children.

My dad came up with this design and pitched it to the church. They loved it so much, it became the cover. Luke was his model.

The story of Captain Moroni is one of my favorites in the Book of Mormon. In a nutshell this is the story......

A wicked man named Amalickiah wanted to be king over the Nephites. Many Nephites had left the Church to follow him.

If Amalickiah became king, he would try to destroy the Church of God and take away the people’s liberty.

When Captain Moroni, the leader of the Nephite armies, heard of Amalickiah’s plan to be king, he became angry.

Moroni tore his coat to make a flag. On it he wrote a message to remind the people to defend their religion, freedom, and peace.

Moroni put the flag on a pole and called it the title of liberty. Then dressed in his armor, he knelt to pray.

He asked God to protect those who believed in Jesus Christ and prayed for freedom in the land, calling it a land of liberty.

Moroni went among the people. Waving the title of liberty, he called them to come and help protect their freedom

People came from all over the land. They promised to obey God’s commandments and to fight for freedom.

When Amalickiah saw how many Nephites had joined with Moroni, he was afraid. He and his followers left to join the Lamanites.

Moroni and his army tried to stop them, but Amalickiah and a few of his men escaped.

Moroni placed a title of liberty on every tower in the Nephite land. The Nephites had kept their freedom and again had peace.

The story is found in the Book of Mormon, Alma chapter 46.

Moroni is a great role model for kids-Standing up for what you believe is correct. The way the scriptures describe Moroni, I tend to think he had a lot of women followers. In Latter-Day terms, he would be a "Hottie!"
