Alma the younger begins to undo the damage that he and his companions had perpetrated. They travel through the land preaching according to their new understanding. This is the concluding statement for Alma the younger’s story. The next major story will revolve around the sons of Mosiah. Although they have not yet been important in this conversion story, their story is coming.
At the end of Alma’s story, they are simply “those who were with Alma at the time the angel appeared unto them.” That changes in the next verses.
