PROVO, Utah — In Alma 26 of the Book of Mormon, a missionary named Ammon reflects on the trials, challenges, miracles and blessings of a 14-year mission to the Lamanites, which led to the conversion of thousands.
This chapter of scripture is rich with insights and lessons for today’s missionaries to ponder and learn from, said Sister Amy A. Wright, first counselor in the Primary general presidency and a member of the Missionary Executive Council of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“Have you ever thought about what the summary of this sacred and holy season of your life might look like? As you ponder this question, let us explore together the encapsulating chapter of one of the greatest missionaries in the Book of Mormon — Ammon — and see what we can learn about the potential of your missionary story," she said, speaking to hundreds of missionaries during a devotional at the Provo Missionary Training Center on Tuesday, Dec. 2.
