You're not going to be here. Can you open a mission call and it was for a 14 year mission to a violent people whose aim was to destroy you?

You might think twice about that kind of call.

Yet the Sons of Mosiah, Nephite princes who could have had a very different life chose to go to preach to the Lamanites,

a people described as wild and a hardened and ferocious people, a people who delighted in murdering the Nephites.

No wonder Mosiah was concerned about the safety of his sons

and sought counsel from the Lord who gave him a promise.

Let them go up, for many shall believe on their words, and they shall

have eternal life, and I will deliver thy sons out of the hands of the Lamanites. They would need that promise.

Hello, welcome to Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me Podcast.

We're Scott and Maureen Proctor and we're glad you could join us today to study Alma Chapter 17 through 22, some of our favorite chapters

in all the scriptures, in a lesson called, I will make an instrument of Thee.

I'm excited also to share with you my new book called

11 Things You Probably Didn't Know about the Book of Mormon. Right away as a

lifelong reader of the Book of Mormon you might think that you couldn't be

surprised and learn something more, but this book is full

of insights that were hidden in plain sight all along. Just who were Nephi's sisters? What is the mission of the plates of brass and has that

mission been completed and so much more? You can buy and immediately download the

e-book for just $6.99 at Latter Day St. Mag.com

forward slash 11 things. That's Latter Day St. mag.com forward slash 11 things, with the 11 spelled out, E-L-E-V-E-N.

You wrote this book based on a popular lecture that you have given so many times and people always wanted to know more.

It just tickles your mind to know that there is so much more to see in the scriptures

than we might usually see.
