Alma 59

At the end of Helaman's letter to Moroni, he tells Moroni he doesn't understand why the government has not supported them more than they have and he's praying that things will improve. I like Moroni because he isn't going to just pray about it, he's going to take on the entire government and Pahoran, the chief judge over the land, and do whatever he has to to change the situation. He sees what has to be done and he's going to do it regardless of what others may think. The city of Nephihah is lost and this is significant. Moroni and all of his military leaders are concerned that the wickedness of their people is inhibiting their ability to win the war. It's a clear message that an unrighteous people will always have difficulty succeeding even in righteous causes.
