Question of the day: What was Heleman's strategy to regain possession of the city of Manti?
Manti was acquired as the Nephites postured to fight against the city with all their forces in the land. Then by careful maneuvering they were able to move parts of the army out of view. When the Lamanites came to battle they followed only a portion away from Manti. The Nephite army was quick enough to stay out of reach and not engage in battle, while the rest of the hidden Nephite army snuck in and took Manti. One of the great miracles is that heading towards Zarahemla gave them a significant psychological advantage in that the Lamanites thought they would end up battling a much larger army (they didn't know that little support was coming from Zarahemla at the time).
D&C: Blacks receive the priesthood.
