“A Village Which Was Called Ani–anti”

Brant Gardner

Aaron leaves Jerusalem and “came over to a village which was called Ani-Anti.” Here he meets with Muloki and Ammah who were preaching in this village.

Geography: Of Ani-Anti, Sorenson suggests:

Probably "came over" means that he walked across the foot of Volcan Toliman; the normal path from Santiago Atitlan to the next village runs over those lava outflows. At Ani-Anti he met some of his companions, who had arrived by another route. They must have gone the other way around the lake from their dispersal point, past the old "Mormon" area where Alma had hidden out. San Lucas Toliman, on the southeast extremity of the lake, fits the bill as Ani-Anti. (Sorenson 1985, p. 225).
