Alma 23
I find it interesting that the first thing that Lamoni did when he was converted and the first thing his father did after being converted were the same. They declared that the Nephite missionaries should have free access to preach and that all people were free to worship as they saw fit. I also find it interesting that once there were people converted they began to look for a way to distinguish themselves from those who were not converted. In this case they chose a new name for themselves. When we are told that “the curse of God did no more follow them” we may understand that the curse was not the color of their skin, but rather that they should be cut off from things of righteousness.
