The Master of the Vineyard (Jesus Christ) and his servants (the prophets) care for the tree, pruning and nourishing it.

Alma 29
Alma's Psalm
Alma
In Alma 29, Alma yearns to be an angel to speak with the voice of God and cry repentance to every people, aiming to remove all sorrow from the earth.
However, he recognizes that his wish is sinful because it usurps an angelic role and contradicts God's decree that good and evil should be placed before all men.
The chapter highlights Alma's personal, political, and spiritual reflections on his role as a high priest and his joy in seeing the success of his brethren in bringing souls to repentance.
