Alma and Amulek Rock!

I am so amazed by Alma and Amulek, they were some of the most awesome missionaries of all time!

This week during my scripture study I read about Alma and Amulek teaching the Zoramites.

I took away 2 things from this study: Love and Prayer!

Love

Alma and Amulek truly did love the gospel, but more importantly they really loved the people around them, whether they were in or out of the gospel, even friend or foe.

When they heard that the Zoramites were fallen away from the gospel, they made it their priority to visit them and teach them. The Zoramites were not exactly next door, so Alma and Amulek packed their bags to visit them and serve them.

I always find it interesting that it is the poor and meek people who the ones to humble themselves and soften their hearts that the spirit can speak to them. I've wondered many times if I have had the same thing happen to me.

Prayer

One of the more important things that Alma and Amulek taught the Zoramites was prayer. I have been studying prayer a lot lately and realize that prayer is NOT EASY but is one of the most powerful tools we have.

Here are some of the things that they taught.

Alma taught that Heavenly Father is always listening to us, but here are some things that can help us in our prayers:

• Faith
• Humility
• Charity

And if we do as Alma says and Cry in Mighty Prayer, we hope and pray that the Mercy of the Lord will be upon us.

Amulek taught we should pray always, in every place and at all times and about all things in our lives.

I have a long way to go, but having the great examples and scriptures from Alma and Amulek will help me with my communication with my Father in Heaven.
