I read Alma 56:1-16, which is Helaman's letter to Moroni about the 2,000 stripling warriors. The only thing that stood out to me in these verses is that these sons were younger than 26 years old, at least that's how I understand verse 7: that it's been 26 years since they made their covenant. Anyway, that being the case, they were all younger than I am. They may have been married already with families of their own. I love the example of courage and faith of the 2,000 warriors.
