Change is a difficult process, but one that brings both immediate and eternbal rewards.

One of Alma the Elder’s most difficult challenges of serving as his people’s prophet was to have his son work against him.

One of those who heard King Benjamin’s speech was a man named Ammon, who found the people of Limhi deep inside the lands of the Lamanites.
