Asay, Carlos E. (November 1983). "Parent-Child Interviews". Ensign. Retrieved 2024-09-01. LDS leader Carlos Asay uses the example of the relationship of Alma and Helaman to instruct concerning parent-child interviews.
It can be concluded from the following verses that the journey took place in the 17th year of the reign of the judges: Alma 30:6 states that Korihor came into the land of Zarahemla in the latter end of the 17th year of the reign of the judges. Alma 31:1, 6 show unambiguously that it was after Korihor's demise that the mission to the Zoramites took place. In Alma 35, the mission concludes with the missionaries withdrawing from the Zoramites, the converts being cast out, and the Zoramites preparing for war. Alma 35:11-12 states that the 17th year ended in this manner.
Helaman's epistle to Moroni in The Book of Mormon describes two particularly severe battles in which Helaman's army was involved. The first was outside the city of Antiparah (described in Alma 56:30-56). The second was in defense of the city of Cumeni (described in Alma 57:17-25) in the 29th year of the reign of the judges (c. 63 BC), Alma 57:6).
