Epic

There was evidently an epic battle of good vs evil in the family room the other night. It was a close call - we only learned about it after Ken walked in to find Luke lying on the ground with a play "rocket" in his tummy. Not to worry, though. He said he took the rocket to save Evie, but Nephi healed him. Phew.

***For those of you who don't know, most of the players are actually people from the scriptures, talked about mostly in the Book of Mormon. For more info about the Book of Mormon, go here

The good side was led by Luke. Fighting by his side was Moroni (co leader) and the rest of the Nephites. There were some Lamanites there as well because they can never decide whether they are good or bad. Other notable people on this team were Nephi and his son Nephi and all the other prophets and Evie.

The bad side was of course the evil people including King Noah, Gadianton and his robbers, Kishkumen and Amalikiah.

During the fighting, Alma decides to leave the bad side and join the good side. Way to go Alma!

The good guys were winning but Evie was in danger of getting hit by a flaming rocket shot by Kishkumen so Luke dove in front and was hit by said flaming rocket in the tummy. Good thing Nephi was there with his super healing powers. Luke was healed and the good guys won the fight.

All the bad guys died except for four. Gadianton, Kishkumen and two robbers lived. The good guys caught the robbers but were not able to capture Gadianton and Kishkumen. Kishkumen stabbed one of the nephites who died in the scuffle and Kishkumen escaped. Another Nephite warrior shot the flaming plane at Gadianton and hit him in the belly button. Gadianton died from his wounds. Beware of the evil Kishkumen hiding in the living room somewhere. Luke thinks he met up with another robber that was hiding in the mountains so there might be two of them now. They were evidently hanging out in the living room, but we haven't heard from them so they must have gotten away.

And we always said that Luke didn't have much of an imagination.
