Overview

In Alma 17 - 27, the sons of King Mosiah--Ammon, Aaron, Omner, and Himni--must decide how to best serve their people, the Lamanites.

The first option was to remain with their own people, the Nephites, and continue their service within their community. This option would involve supporting their fellow Nephites, assisting with the affairs of the kingdom, and upholding the responsibilities associated with their privileged positions.

The second option was to embark on a mission to the Lamanites, who were traditionally seen as their enemies. This choice would require leaving their comfort zone, risking their safety, and dedicating themselves to the challenging task of preaching the gospel and striving to bring the Lamanites to a knowledge of the truth.

The sons of Mosiah evaluate their choice considering the Lamanites' spiritual well-being, the need for repentance, and the desire to bring them to the knowledge of the gospel. After much contemplation and prayer, they decide to separate themselves from their own people and go on a mission to the Lamanites, recognizing it as the most effective way to fulfill their purpose and positively impact lives. Their choice is well-informed, driven by their understanding of the Lamanites' needs and their commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

BYU Marriott students will transform the world through Christlike communication by recommending options based on audience-focused, weighted criteria.
