Book of Mormon Mondays - Just a quick thought...

Just a quick thought for today.  I was reading yesterday night about Helaman's 2,000 stripling warriors, Alma 56.  That's 2,000 boys.  2,000!  And I think they were only the second generation since the people of Ammon were converted.  In verse 46 Helaman says, "For as I had ever called them my sons (for they were all of them very young)..." 

The thought that really struck me last night and this morning was that the group of people Ammon taught must have been quite large to produce 2,000 sons who were willing to fight for their freedom.  I wonder if he knew the effect that he would have on future generations.
