Chapter 48
Peace in America
After Jesus returned to heaven, his disciples set up his Church throughout the land.
The people who repented of their sins were baptized and received the Holy Ghost.
Soon all the Nephites and Lamanites were converted. They did not argue and everyone was honest.
No one was rich or poor. The people shared everything, and they all had what they needed.
The disciples performed many miracles in the name of Jesus Christ. They healed the sick and brought the dead back to life.
The people built new cities where others had been destroyed.
They obeyed God’s commandments. They fasted and prayed and met together often to hear the word of God.
The people were happy.
There were no robbers, no liars, no murderers. The people were no longer divided into Nephites and Lamanites but were all one, the children of Christ.
The Lord blessed the people in everything they did.
They lived in peace for 200 years. The people became very rich.
