The result of the continued expansion of the church and the repentance of the people resulted in the addition of around three thousand five hundred people to the church. As noted above, these are probably people living in the land of Zarahemla who have not been baptized into the church. Particularly in a time of famine, which was the physical impetus to this spiritual revival, the people of Zarahemla would not want to increase the numbers of mouths to feed. Thus we can be fairly certain that this was a baptism of people from inside the land, and not converts brought in to Zarahemla.
