Alma 25-26

(April 6, 2014)
I hope I am not being uncharitable here, but I have always envisioned the conversation between Ammon and Aaron that goes on just below the surface.  Ammon, who has converted so many people, is rejoicing in the Lord.  Aaron, a little bit irked (after all, it was Aaron that spent so much time in prison, not Ammon) is both correct in what he is saying (in a way) but also a little bit jealous that this has become Ammon’s story and that he is the one rejoicing despite the fact that Aaron worked just as hard and struggled and suffered more.

It is a very human reaction from Aaron, and it is yet another minor detail of verisimilitude that provides another small evidence of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.
