Every girl's dream guy

Yes, I'm referring to the 2000 stripling warriors.  These guys were perfect, right?

They volunteered to fight in the place of their fathers.
Courage!

They were "exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for STRENGTH and activity."
They were buff!

They were "true at all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted...men of truth and soberness...taught to keep the commandments of God and walk uprightly before him."
They were honest and sincere and dependable and righteous!

Helaman said of them: "never had I seen so great courage...they did not fear death (because) they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers then they did upon their lives...they had been taught by their mothers that if they did not doubt, God would
deliver them."
They were selfless and extremely faithful!

They said of their mothers: "We do not doubt our mothers knew it (that God would
deliver them)."
They honored their mothers and respected women!


A side note of a pearl:  The boys were taught that "if they did not doubt, God would deliver them."  They weren't just told to believe; they had to "not doubt."  That is much harder, and requires more faith!!!  Do I have enough faith in my Heavenly Father to not only believe, but not doubt that He is in control?  Can I simply accept His will for me?  Maybe that'll be a lifelong trust lesson...
