Alma the Younger.
A mighty change.
King Mosiah gave Alma power to
lead the Church in Zarahemla.
Alma taught the people to
repent and have faith in the Lord.
Alma had a son who was also named Alma.
Alma the Younger did not
believe what his father taught.
Mosiah had sons who also
did not believe in the Lord.
They were friends with Alma the Younger.
All of them wanted
people to leave the Church.
Alma and the sons of Mosiah led many
people to do things that were against God’s commandments. One day, the
Lord sent an angel to stop them.
The angel told them to stop
trying to destroy the Church.
Alma and the sons of Mosiah were
so afraid they fell to the ground.
Alma could not talk or move
for three days and three nights.
He felt really bad because of all
the wrong things he had done.
He was also worried because he had
led many people away from the Lord.
Alma felt so much
pain because of his sins.
Then he remembered his father talking
about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Alma prayed for Jesus to forgive him.
After he prayed, he could
not remember his pain.
He knew the Lord had forgiven him. He
did not feel bad about his sins anymore.
Instead, Alma felt very happy.
Alma got his strength back.
He and Mosiah’s sons
decided to repent and try to fix all the pain they had caused.
They served the Lord from that
time forward by helping others repent.
They traveled through the land
that Mosiah ruled and taught the people about Jesus. Alma and
the sons of Mosiah wanted to share the happiness that the teachings of
Jesus brought to their lives.
They worked very hard to
serve the Lord and the people.
Mosiah’s sons chose to leave and
teach the Lamanites about Jesus.
Alma chose to stay and
keep teaching the Nephites.
