We read in Mormon 6 of terrible and destructive battles in which Mormon himself was wounded. Mormon 7 is Mormon’s message “unto the remnant of this people who are spared” (v. 1) in both his time and the latter days. Since Mormon’s son Moroni wrote Mormon 8 and tells us of Mormon’s death, this is the final testimony Mormon wrote in this book.

What and Why
In his final testimony to the descendants of the Nephites and Lamanites, Mormon wrote what he wanted them to know and do. On the top part of a page in your notebook, list from Mormon 7 what he wanted the people to know. On the lower part of the page, list what he wanted them to do. After each item on both lists, briefly explain why you think he wanted them to know or do that.
