In this lesson we will learn about two missionaries who were obedient in all they were asked to do. Alma and Amuleks Mission to AmmonihahLesson 15: Alma and Amuleks Mission to Ammonihah, Primary 4: Book of Mormon, (1997),50Scripture story adapted from Book of Mormon StoriesGod blessed Alma the Younger and the sons of Mosiah as they taught the gospel.

Many people listened to them and believed. Before King Mosiah died, the Nephites chose judges to lead them. Alma the Younger became the first chief judge.

He was also the leader of the Church.The Church members shared everything they had with the poor, and they cared for the sick.

They obeyed the commandments, and God blessed them.

Not all of the Nephites were righteous.These people loved riches and would not obey Gods commandments.

They made fun of the Church members and argued and fought with them.

The wicked Nephites listened to men who did not believe the gospel. He chose Nephihah to replace him as chief judge.

Alma worried about the Nephites wickedness, so he decided to spend all of his time preaching the gospel. Alma taught the gospel throughout the land.

When he tried to preach in Ammonihah, the people would not listen. They threw him out of the city.Alma was sad that the people of Ammonihah were so wicked.

He left to go to another city. An angel appeared and comforted Alma.

The angel told him to go back to Ammonihah and preach again.

Alma hurried back.Alma was hungry.

An angel had told the man that Alma would come and that Alma was a prophet of God.

As he entered the city, he asked a man for some food. This man, Amulek, took Alma to his home and fed him.

Alma stayed with Amulek and his family for many days. He thanked God for Amuleks family and blessed them. The Holy Ghost helped them.

Alma told Amulek about his calling to teach the people of Ammonihah. Amulek went with Alma to teach the people. Alma told the people to repent or God would destroy them.

He said Jesus Christ would come and save those who had faith in Him and repented.The people of Ammonihah became angry.

They tried to throw Alma into prison, but the Lord protected him.Then Amulek began to teach. Many of the people knew Amulek; he was not a stranger as Alma was.

He told them about the angel he had seen.Amulek said Alma was a prophet of God and spoke the truth.

The people were surprised to hear Amuleks testimony. Some of the people became angry, especially one wicked man named Zeezrom.

They tried to trick Amulek with questions, but he told them he knew about their plan.Zeezrom wanted to destroy everything that was good. He would cause problems, and then people would pay him money to solve the problems he had created.

Zeezrom could not trick Amulek, so he offered him money to say there is no God.

Amulek knew God lives and said Zeezrom knew it too but loved money more than God.Then Amulek taught Zeezrom about Jesus and about the Resurrection and eternal life.

The people were amazed.Zeezrom began to shake with fear. Zeezrom knew that Alma and Amulek had the power of God because they knew his thoughts.

Zeezrom asked questions and listened as Alma taught him the gospel.Some people believed Alma and Amulek and began to repent and study the scriptures.

Alma and Amulek continued teaching the gospel.Discussion Time!
