Ether Chapter 12:23 thru 26: interestnig to note the Lord Listened

[Hemidakota]

23 And I said unto him: Lord, the Gentiles will mock at these things, because of our weakness in writing; for Lord thou hast made us mighty in word by faith, but thou hast not made us mighty in writing; for thou hast made all this people that they could speak much, because of the Holy Ghost which thou hast given them;

24 And thou hast made us that we could write but little, because of the awkwardness of our hands. Behold, thou hast not made us mighty in writing like unto the brother of Jared, for thou madest him that the things which he wrote were mighty even as thou art, unto the overpowering of man to read them.

25 Thou hast also made our words powerful and great, even that we cannot write them; wherefore, when we write we behold our weakness, and stumble because of the placing of our words; and I fear lest the Gentiles shall mock at our words.

26 And when I had said this, the Lord spake unto me, saying: Fools mock, but they shall mourn; and my grace is sufficient for the meek, that they shall take no advantage of your weakness;

Here is something interesting to note. Moroni, be alone for over a long period of time, need companionship. What is noted, the Lord, probably being busy in other affairs, came and listened to Moroni plight of record keeping and what the gentiles may say later.

I could not fathom what Moroni challenges were like, being alone for so long.

Our Gospel Doctrine teacher this past Sunday mentioned the movie "I Am Legend", and how she felt Moroni must have felt much like Will Smith's character in that movie, being completely alone, and trying to save a world that was destroying itself.
