A search party led by a man named Ammon leaves Zarahemla to find the people of Zeniff. Zeniff led a group that left Zarahemla years ago to try and resettle the land of Nephi. The search party found King Limhi, a decendant of Zeniff. King Limhi and his people are in bondage to the Lamanites. They are required to pay half of their substance to the Lamanite king. They’ve tried to escape, but they haven’t been able to. 

When King Limhi finds out that Ammon and his brethren are from Zarahemla, he is filled with hope. He gathers his people and teaches them that they must repent and rely on the Lord to help them. With trust in God, they create an escape plan. With the Lord’s help, King Limhi and his people escape to Zarahemla. 

Sometimes, like the captive Nephites, we are faced with difficult challenges that we can’t seem to escape. Sometimes we might be like Ammon, trying to help others overcome difficulties. We learn from this story that we must always trust in the Lord. The Lord has power to deliver us, and in His own time, if we are faithful, He can help us overcome.
