- Ammon and the sons of Mosiah go out on their missions to teach the Lamanites the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ammon ask to be King Lamoni’s servant. While watching the king’s sheep, Ammon has to defend the flock from thieves.
The servants who were with Ammon tell the king what happened. They tell him that Ammon has the strength of many men. The king thinks Ammon is the great spirit and asks to see him. Ammon tells the king that he is just a man. The king asks how a man can have such great power. Ammon teaches the king about the power of God.
The king wants to learn more and Ammon teaches him the plan of salvation and the gospel of Jesus Christ. The king believes everything Ammon says and prays to God for forgiveness of his sins. The king, his wife and his household know the goodness of their Redeemer and they are converted to God.
Based on Alma 31-34

I played the servant who presented the arms to the king. It was so surreal to bring these scenes to life! My favorite story in the Book of Mormon. I testify that the record is true. I also testify that God can transform ANYONE. 💛 So thankful for the crew and cast that labored so diligently to present this in such a beautiful way.
You did amazingly! Your really brought that whole scene together.
were there actually arms in the bag?
@@kovykchandler x'D
You were great! Thank you for bringing the scriptures to life!
You all did a fantastic job!! As I read the Book of Mormon I can see these videos being played out in my mind and it brings everything to life. Thank you!
Ammon is one of my favorite prophets. Ammon’s approach is so Christ-like. He has every intention of serving King Lamoni for the rest of his life, and then calls upon God to help him save the King’s flocks. He knows that the way to convince others of truth is to love and serve them first. May we all learn from his example!
Thanks for expounding the scriptures my friend.
I so agree! He's so humble and faithful. When he started slinging stones at the intruders who wanted to take the flock, he reminded me of David and Goliath. He was vastly outnumbered and the odds were not in his favor, just like with David. And like David, he had no fear, just humble and complete faith in the Lord to fight his battle for him.
And he met the King at his level of understanding about who God was and then helped him from there. A lesson for all of us.
Like Christ, Ammon leaves his home, where he could have been king if he so desired, and goes to serve others and teach them about God.
@Mike Peter, who had used violence himself. David used violence when slaying Goliath. Others used violence in the Old Testament a number of times. Yes, Christ's mission was unlike anyone else's, and yes, peace is always the goal.
Ammon is my favorite prophet. I can watch this video several times and still feel my Savior.
It touches my soul to see the Book of Mormon come to life
Ammon reminds me of the missionaries who came to my home and taught my brother and I about the gospel of Jesus Christ when we were children. I will always remember their lessons and how I felt in my heart, which I still do. I do love Ammon, the Prophet, because he taught the truth in a loving way, and I felt this video in my heart, I really ponder it, so I'm very thankful for this truth. Amen.
Thank you for sharing your testimony!
For some reason, this episode has opened my eyes even more to the truth of the Book of Mormon. It has been hard to hold back the tears, and they are harder to contain as I write this.
I am grateful for the truths that have been passed on through my family, down through generations, but I am more grateful that Father in heaven allowed me to be born to a Mother who had great faith, and passed these truths to her children. My oldest sister taught me most of what I know about the Church, but I witnessed the pure love of Jesus Christ as Mama helped others daily, sometimes against the wishes of my Father, who was not in the Church.
Having Asperger's and all the emotional problems that come with it, she showed unconditional love to me, having an understanding that something was irreparably wrong with me. Also, with that affliction, I have been a trained observer since childhood. I witnessed my own Mother perform miraculous works through her faith and prayer.
She never gave up on me, though I walked wide paths and fell into pits of sin. Here, toward the end of my life, all things that I was taught have come back to me. I still have hardship and doubts at times, but the things I was taught now come back to comfort me and remind me that I am His child, and that He will bring me back home when this life is over. I have finally received forgiveness for my sins, and my faith is strong, though I doubt that it could ever be as strong as my Mother's.
The cool thing about these videos is that we are able to learn the truths of the Book of Mormon in a different way. If we had trouble understanding something while reading or hearing it, sometimes seeing it demonstrated or acted out before us helps us understand it better. They've helped me, and I felt the Holy Ghost testify the truth of it to me as I watched this just now.
I've struggled with doubts too, and I was inactive for a little while. However, one thing I've learned is that we can either give up and give in, or we can push against those doubts and strengthen our spiritual muscles. Heavenly Father doesn't give up on us, just like your mother didn't give up on you. He loves you.
@@rosemarydodge6707 I agree with your view on understanding better when it is presented live. Many have brought more understanding, gave the characters faces, and brought many tears. But this one seemed to bring it all home to me, touched me more than previous videos, even though they brought on emotions and tears.
I am counted as inactive because I have a fear of crowds; and I still have WOW problems. I am working, once again, to lose these bad habits, but my mind is easily distracted from focus.
Because of my childhood and being bullied by neighbors and some fathers, I trust women more than I do men. Years ago, after regaining membership after being excommunicated, I was on fire for the Church. I was even 1st counselor in the Priesthood at one time. But I took on too many callings and I got overwhelmed.
I found a gas leak at the main in the table closet. I could feel it blowing on my face from the small hole next to the shutoff valve. I was building man and called maintenance and told them that when they called the gas company to let me know so I could be there to let them inside and show it to them. I told them that I thought it was a bad weld.
They called me the next day and said the gas company checked and found no leak. I melted down on the head of maintenance because i had told them to notify me and they hadn't gone inside to check.
The next Sunday, I talked to the 1st Counselor in the Stake Presidency that came to my Ward and happened to be the first person to welcome me back to Church, he had become a good friend. When he walked into the room, because he smelled it so strong, he yelled "Don't cut that light on!" as I flipped the switch. It was in the room where the young men met.
He called maintenance, and he must have excoriated them because the gas company came out and fixed... a bad weld. Maintenance then sent a man out to overwhelm me telling me ten different things I needed to learn, and telling me I might have to tend all the shrubbery and start cutting ALL the grass by myself. Our Ward wasn't much into volunteerism in those days and I knew I couldn't do it alone. I went straight to the Bishop (another dear friend) and told him what was happening. I told him I was no longer the building man , and I didn't know when I would even be back to Church. They had effectively used the PTSD I already had against me.
Sorry for writing a book, but I had to get that out. My Asperger's has controlled my life, but I am doing the best I can. Even leaders in the Church say that is acceptable. I am gaining more control, but masking is a very strenuous effort on my part.
@@hudsonsteele1674 Your sincerity is touching. I have a feeling that God is very aware of your struggles and sees your honesty. Please don't give up on everyone. I don't have the same struggle but I have also experienced being misjudged and have learned through the Spirit how to keep forgiving, staying steady in keeping my covenants, and eventually people see the truth. You can do this!
hudson steele - I feel like this story is close to the very heart of what the Book of Mormon is all about. Not only do Ammon’s choices in this story change the history of everything that happens to the Nephites and the Lamanites afterward, but it’s all about redemption, and the power of the Savior to change our hearts, our thoughts, and even our very nature; ro rescue us from misery and sin and pointlessness. He fills us with light and hope and truth, and it’s so indescribably wonderful. I know He can help you feel that kind of peace.
@@jordanwutkee2548 Well said sir! Amen :)
I am not an atheist but I do find it difficult to believe in any organized religion after twenty years in the army with seven deployments in combat theater. I will never disparage anyone in their own beliefs, I just wanted to say to you all that I admire your devotion to the scriptures. I have read the comments and it makes me intrigued and happy to feel your conviction towards your religion. I wish I could feel anything such as that again. Envy is a sin but admittedly I am envious. Be well and Godspeed friends.
It can be different timing for everyone. I’m sure the time will come that you’ll feel that way brother. You’re always welcome in any of our meeting houses or online to learn more. Thank you for your service!
Do you have a desire to believe in God? You need nothing more than a desire to begin, for the power of God is true.
Ask in faith in an experiment to know if this church, or any church is true. (Alma 32:27)
If ye lack wisdom, ask of God who giveth liberally (James 1:5)
If you do this, you will know with a surety that God and his doctrine is true. And if you believe me not, what have you lost in this experiment? Trust me in this, and experiment by asking of God, for if these things are not true, you have lost nothing and will have a collected mind.
I see however that you want to believe, because deep down inside you there is something that knows despite not knowing why, much like king Lamoni. Procrastinate the blessings from God no longer! We will welcome you with open arms!
This is one of the most powerful events in the Book of Mormon. Beautiful portrayal.
agreed
I love how King Lamoni is like, "Why did you come here?" and Ammon says, "I want to live here." And Lamoni and his wife just look at each other like, "I think this guy's lost his mind."
Did you notice how she smiled after he was sent to tend the flocks? She knew it, and so it seems; that Lamoni sent him off to be killed rather than let him exist with them. His Mission was not about to be cut short, and something Lamoni meant for bad came back to be for Ammon's good in carrying out that Mission.
God bless our steadfast faith-filled Missionaries!
There had been Nephite dissenters before, so they might be thinking, "here comes another". But only Ammon chose to become the king's servant. If others were offered to marry a princess, they would have gladly accepted. But Ammon was focused on his purpose. His love for his brethren the Lamanites is something that he couldn't contain. As the sons of Mosiah and their friends repented of their sins (according to what's written, "the vilest"), they did their best to undo the damage they had done to the Nephites who became less active because of their example in persecuting and disencouraging them in their faith. Next was to serve on missions to their brethren the Lamanites to testify, and to teach with long suffering.
From their examples we also see that we really shouldn't give up on wayward children. There will come a time when those who were taught about God and to do the right things when they were young, whatever wrong they had done, might make the 180-degree turn and become faithful and mighty servants to the Lord.
@@hudsonsteele1674 I noticed the same thing! It's an interesting perspective that perhaps the king was (understandably) offended that Ammon would turn down Lamoni's offer to mary one of his own daughters (a Lamanite princess!), and furthermore that Ammon's assignment to care for the king's flocks may have actually been an act of spite. The king may very well have taken it as a great insult that a Nephite would have the boldness to refuse this (or any) offer from the king. I never read it this way before!
And when King Lamoni offered his daughter for marriage, his wife then looked at him like, "my husband has lost his mind." LOL
hudson steele p
Whatever our position in life, if the Holy Spirit touches our heart.. we will be converted in Christ. ❣
Trueee😭😭
When Abish went up and about crying out, “Come! and see the power of God!” I got teary-eyed. That, in essence, is missionary work. Also, what an amazing example she is of sister missionary work-a witness of the power of the Priesthood in her life, inviting others to experience it too.
Abish rocks!
I know a young girl named Abish. She's my sister's niece, named as after this Abish. Magnificent portrayal.
Don't you think that it was premature? The reason why so many were upset was bc they didn't witness what she did.
@@stephentickal2757 Yeah, she has always been one of my favorites, besides Esther and Emma Smith
How sad humanity forgets Heavenly Father's LOVE for ALL people! One day we will be as the Christ and no longer raise our hands in violence against one another! No matter our shortcomings, our sins, we are blessed with a FORGIVING and LOVING God. If we ask, He will help our unbelief.
This is True:)
@@michaelgrey7854 really, you're going there? God loves all of his children! The rest of us should be loving all his children (our brothers and sisters). We, all of us, are in no position to judge our neighbor.
PLEASE !! PLEASE KEEP MAKING THESE!! I AM
A TRUE BELIEVER!!! THANK-YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING!!!!
Michael Grey - It’s so sad that you don’t see just how much this *is* about the real Christ.
Ammon is a great prophet and missionary. Thanks for this.
This is one of my favorite stories in the Book of Mormon. I've always admired Abish and her faith. She held fast and believed in Jesus Christ because of her father's teachings and a vision he had that God would send someone to bring the truth to the Lamanites.
When watching this, I saw symbolism between Ammon and the Savior. Ammon, like the Savior, offered to serve and both had sheep they took care of. The Savior is known as the good shepherd, and Ammon was instructed to take care of flocks of sheep. Ammon, and the Savior were essentially willing to give their lives for the people. Though Ammon did not die, he gave of himself completely to serve them and point them towards God.
Not to mention King Lamoni rising on the third day.
Thanks for the uplifted words to share Andi.
Uncle Jack was working at a bait store in Idaho, when a lumberjack asked, "Is there a place a man can take his wife and kids for quality time?" "You can come to church with us." The family lived in a small, small trailer, so the missionaries and family met infrequently at Jack’s house, who left his door unlocked.
One day, Uncle Jack came home to see the missionaries and family leaving. Jack asked the father, "What did they teach you?" "They taught us about the Holy Ghost." “When you get home tonight," Jack said, "I want you to kneel with your family, and I want you to pray out loud and ask God if these things are true, and if you do, He will witness the truth to you by the Holy Ghost."
The next morning, the wife came speeding up Jack's gravel driveway. "The strangest thing happened last night my husband suggested that we kneel and pray in a circle, holding hands, and I thought this was pretty silly, and I was reluctant to do this, but he insisted and as he prayed, a tremendous spirit came over us, so much so that the four of us passed out on our little trailer floor. The four of us lay in a deep sweet sleep... and we were unconscious in that sweet spirit, and then we awoke... and... hey, that's the same spirit I'm feeling now talking with you, Jack, and is this the Holy Ghost?”
Great story! The Holy Ghost can be felt in many places, and I love it when people learn to recognize it.
Powerful! Thank you!
The servant who brings the arms is a way good actor!
You're right. I didn't notice him as an actor. That's a good sign.
True..That's what I've noticed. I was about to comment
wow finally i got something about Mormonism!!!
which will addon to my knowledge!!
here in india v dont have any Mormon!!!
hello my good brother!
my best friend in school also had the name Kumar. I am from California
I like the way the proposal to marry the daughter could be seen as a test of Ammon's sincerity
Coy And if he accepted, Lamoni could keep a potential enemy close. But Ammon chose to give more power to Lamoni over him, so that Lamoni could do as he wished with him. I think Lamoni tested him again by sending him to tend the flocks. He wanted to see how far Ammon would take this bit. It’s hard to spy on your new boss if you’re off watching his sheep. But Ammon didn’t come as a spy as Lamoni no doubt suspected.
Yep. You don’t get to be a king without being a shrewd operator. But Ammon totally flipped the script on them!
Thank you for this! I've always wondered why the king offered one of his daughters so freely when he barely knew the man.
Except that he put Ammon in a situation where he had killed many servants. I think he was a little upset that Ammon refused his daughter.
I noticed how the sons of Mosiah were willing to give up the throne of their kingdom to preach the word of God. They were willing to sacrifice whatever it took to preach the word of God to all the people, despite how dangerous it was, all because they couldn't bear the thought of people not knowing the truth. The word of God had brought them such happiness, so why not share that happiness?
There had been Nephite dissenters before, so king Lamoni might have been thinking, "here comes another". But only Ammon chose to become the king's servant. If others were offered to marry a princess, they would have gladly accepted. But Ammon was focused on his purpose. His love for his brethren the Lamanites is something that he couldn't contain.

This is one of my favorite stories in the The Book of Mormon. Not because of the arm thing. Because of Abish, And Ammon’s obedience. And because of the Queen! Many say he stinketh, but I do not think he stinketh . 😁❤️
one of my favorite stories in the Book of Mormon. Blessed be the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Redeemer :) Oh God have mercy on us. Shower us with thy Grace and Love.
I have been so excited for this episode ever since the season trailer! It definitely lived up to the hype😆
This story is one of if not my favorite from the Book of Mormon. It P ROVES how serving others brings you and them closer to God. All missionaries today know this, that is why we look for service projects to do each week. We all learned from the best!
One of the best ways to share the truthfulness of the gospel is by first, being a good friend (in this case a good servant). The opportunity to teach and share will come if you patiently wait for the right time. By simply being a good example, we can help bring others to Christ.
We 'have' learned from the best, though it took years for me to come to my senses. It has always been hard for me to teach, because I live in a neighborhood of those who are against the Church. Your last paragraph gives me hope. I haven't even been around my grandchildren long enough to remember to teach them but once about Christ. By the way, my young grandson is named Silas. I love that name. He has such a humble and loving spirit.
Oh wow! Such a powerful video. The faith and hope and love of the people and Ammon. It is such a blessing to witness this 😘😇
Such a great touch, showing the progression of King Lamonis humility as he is being taught by seeing him take off the symbols of his Kingship. First his cloak, then his crown. Great directing and production to make that slight but significant change.
Wonderful Testimony by Ammon. How grateful we are to have these videos in these last days. The Book Of Mormon is indeed Another Testament Of Jesus Christ.
i love the bible and book of mormon, thank thee Jesus Christ our lord and savior. hosanna
I love how Ammon act, I saw the sincerity in his eyes.
Alma 19:36-and we see that his arm is extended to all people who will repent and believe on his name.
This is an Amazing Story, Full of Mercy, Faith and Repentance.
AMEN!!!!
The Spirit does not discriminate. "All are alike unto God." Through the power of God, the least likely people can become the strongest in faith.
Like Lamoni saw his redeemer then he acknowledged and spoke to the rest of the group to here that ! Even so we should declare if any saw their redeemer if they are alike unto the redeemer and likely unto some can see the redeemer once in a life time , and not only what Christ has said: Blessed are they that have seen, and blessed are they that have not seen but believed.
I'll be forever grateful for having the Book of Mormon in my life. This is one of my favorite among the conversion stories I know in the book. 😍
The account of Ammon convrting Lamoni & his household is one of the powerful in The Book of Mormon which can bring us to Christ. I am grteful for lamoni & the queen who exercised their faith & believed what Ammon taught them.
This is my favorite! I cheered for the King’s wife being raised up and she praised Jesus. I feel like praising Jesus for his goodness to me.
Well there goes a good chunk of everyone's next zone conference. Missionaries are going to love this one!
I love how they mentioned Abish.
Abish was one of the servants of the queen who already had a testimony of of the gospel and was converted, however kept it a secret. No one in the king’s land was a believer, only her before the time Ammon came. When the king and queen were taught the gospel and converted to the Lord, she brought the people to witness the miracle. Perhaps, she wasn’t one of those who fell like the king and queen because (1) she was already converted and had a firm testimony in the Lord and (2) the Lord needed someone to message the people of what had happened.
So now you know 😊
Such a great Scriptural heroine. Only Mary Magdalene and Queen Esther are greater.
Whenever I've realized I've done something I shouldnt have, I always watch these videos. They always fill me with a sense of peace and I just get it, unlike the chaotic, confused, worldly messages the world offers.
My favorite story of conversion in the Book of Mormon, The spirit is so strong that I could feel their hearts
This is the best book ever it changed my life
Muchas Gracias. Qué buen ejemplo de testimonio y servicio recibimos de Amón. ¡Mil bendiciones!
Here's one of the best demo about how to apply the principles taught at Preach My Gospel manual.
What a manner of missionary was this Ammon? As President Eyring has taught, we copy the model of our heroes.
I tried to copie Ammon's example, even that I could only figuratively cut off the arms that constantly stands up agains the missionary work.
"and he smote off as many of their arms as were lifted against him, and they were not a few."
I love this story, it's so intense and inspiring. Certainly these Videos are a Blessing to the World.
@Mike some people only understand violence, as that is how they were taught... Consider yourself, you choose to regularly use aggressive questions, that you think will work as "gotchas". When violence is the answer, it is useful, but as a last resort tool.
These people opposing Ammon lived by the maxim, if a hammer is your Only tool, Every problem looks like a nail.
Obviously Ammon had many more tools as his problem solving assets. Prayer, first used before even entering the land of Lamanites, Submission of his weapon, when confronted by a Lessor band of opposition than when tending the flocks. Choosing to serve, rather than immediately being embraced into the King's family, as Lamoni had offered, Organizing the others tending the flocks, to give Them confidence rather than simply solving the problem for them...Etc Etc
I could show more than 2 or 3 times the examples I have given, but milk precedes actual Solid foods.
Cynicism does not become you, so consider becoming more, as Ammon exemplified.
Love God, Love His children, Feed His sheep, do not attempt to confuse them.
4:52 "I would that ye should take one of my daughters to wife" Lamoni's wife: "Huh? Are you out of your mind?"
I think king lamoni is longing for a son.
@@artstuffandmore...8956 well, Ammon is a prince!
Am considering she was miffed that Ammon didn't want any of her, the queens daughters and was pleased to see him brought lower to just be a servant.
I think there had to be a little more conversation in this part and that Lamoni realized that Ammon was the son of the Nephite king. Just my personal belief that Lamoni was offering a political alliance with the Nephites and when Ammon refused Lamoni sent him to his death-Lamoni didn’t know that Ammon had the power to defend the flocks.
And his daughter too, she looks over like "wot"
This video is incredible! I believe all the book of Mormon has to say and I can't wait for the day when the savior will come again.
The Lord prepares for these times. Let us soften our hearts and give Him our hands and hearts to serve Him to the End.... Blessed Be His Name!
Book of Mormon is so true Book, everyone would be read it. Amen
Loved it! David A. Martinez, you’re awesome. Good job as Ammon. I felt the love. And Ben Lomu, you are so powerful as King Lamoni. I am so grateful.
What a beautiful video from one of my favorite parts of the Book of Mormon.
This really testifies about Jesus Christ.
Just look at how Ammon helped these people. I pray for those that have been taught about Jesus Christ whether in the church or outside the church. I pray for those who may have left due to many circumstances.
I know that God is watching over everyone and every one of our loved ones. Ammon’s story is an inspiration to me that God does inspire others to help those that need it whether they actively want it or not. Even when they don’t understand now, I know that Heavenly Father’s love is ever reaching and long suffering and never extinguishable.
He will provide a way, even when we cannot see it. I know He will. All we can do is to be like Ammon and serve those around us with Christ-like intentions. It is very true that as we strive to be an example and find opportunity in teaching those about Jesus Christ and His Restored Gospel, His Spirit will soften the hearts of those whom we serve. Ammon did it and so can we.
This is my very favorite scripture story! I love Lamoni's humility!
I love the look on the king's wife when he offered one of his daughters to ammon: "what the WHAT? Yeah we're going to talk about this later."
Lizzy Burt - LOL, right? That was such an excellent touch to include that!
And the soldier too! You immediately know that the soldier might have had a thing for one of the king’s daughters.
These BoM videos are just outstanding! Acting, cinematography, visual effects, spirituality - my gosh they’re well-done. These vids are actually becoming epic. 💛😎
Total. Testimony. GATORADE.
Zagi Productions - That’s the best description I’ve ever seen of anything. Thank you.
My paternal grandfather was from the central mountains. My mother told me this story that her grandfather told her: When it was harvest time they would sound off the conch shell from the mountain top. The heads of family would bring in the harvest that would be mounted in the mules very early in the morning. The men would ride the mules to the ships at San Juan ports to do the trading. Upon their return to the farm they would sound off the conch shell once more. Then the heads of family would come up to the mountain top to pick up the traded goods which were distributed evenly. When I heard about the bishop's store house I understood that this was the same principle my family has always live by. No one would go hungry or homeless at out farm.
Carmen,
"Was this in central or South America you are speaking of?" Awesome story.
This has to be so far my favorite Book of Mormon video. The king and queen just show how mighty of a change God can effect upon anyone of His children. I always loved Abish and this made her story alive to me.
Thanks much!
I love the actor for lamoni. He looks so sincere!
😊when ever I watch this episode I feel the spirit I feel so good.
I have this funny mental image of Lamoni kicking Ammon awake out of frame at 21:43
"This man is-"
"snrrrk..."
"-a man of God."
nudge
"And he-"
kick
"-snrk! Nuh?"
"-has taught me many things..."
Ammon scrambles up like he was there the whole time
😂😂
The Book of Mormon , come follow me for indlv
The Book of Mormon : Another testament of Jesus Christ. God bless Joseph Smith!
I've been excited to see this video😁 Ammon was my biggest inspiration for when I went out on my mission😁 Yeah I wished I had been able to teach the gospel to more people in Korea, but I'm glad and grateful to have taught the Saints in Korea about God and Jesus Christ!
One of my most awaited accounts in the Book of Mormon movies. Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼🤗💞
This is one of my favorite Book of Mormon conversion stories. I love seeing it played out in this video!
I know that the Book of Mormon is truly the word of God
yes
Super well done! Touched my heart because it reminded me so much of my conversion experience 28 years ago. The Spirit was strong while watching this video.
For some reason, when Lamoni started to speak to Ammon after he defended the flocks, tears started to flow. There was already a trickle when Ammon went to confront the enemy on his own, but Lamoni's realization that Ammon was a Godly man touched me deeply.
Very powerful and moving.
Ammon is one of my Favourite prophet...
Heavenly Father is Stretching his arm for thoose who wants to comeback again in his Side and Ready To Change by repenting all of their sins...
This is my favourite conversion story, I know God works through his prophets past and present and will fulfill his promises.
I really loved King Lamoni's discipline and sincerity during the whole process of finding out who Ammon was and what he had to teach him. He listened attentively, payed attention to his feelings and thoughts, opened his heart and mind to the truth, believed, prayed, and was converted to the Lord with his family. Along with Ammon's loving and service-oriented approach, the approach that King Lamoni demonstrates is also key to our conversion when we approach scripture study, sacrament meeting, classes at church, and listen to General Conference. Open your heart, truly listen, and most importantly, act in faith afterwards to be converted. If you don't fully believe, you won't be fully converted.
One of the most uplifting videos ever
Such a powerful event! 😇
We 🙏 pray for peace and well being of missionaries! Amen
When I was young in seminary (1970s). I started praying to the Lord that one day in the future, The Book Of Mormon would be seen on TV, or become a motion picture movie, so that people could not only read The Book Of Mormon but see and hear it on the silver screen. I'm very happy that it happened. These videos are very inspired and well made. I'm sure many prayers were said asking for the spirit to help them make these videos in a manor pleasing unto God.
Oh such a moving story
from the Book of Mormon
So well portrayed in this movie. Really made the story come alive. My heart was really touched. Very grateful to all those who made it. God bless you all.
This morning I'm in tears watching this after reading Alma 17 in the Book of Mormon. Thank you all for making this come together. It has deepened my personal scripture study so much. King Lamoni was excellent and I only hope that my children would someday have the same heart and desire as him to be converted unto the Gospel.
God bless you all
Oh my gosh! I love it! This video is amazing. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon. I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to serve a mission. My life changed because the Book of Mormon and I know this church is the Church of Jesus Christ!
It’s so true Book Mormon, we so blesses to be a members of Church Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints.
Wow what a beautiful story 🌅💖
Perfect, as usual. Thanks for making this happen.
As always. video is subject to the filter's interpretation. I agree it is well done but believe the actor for Ammon is a bit young.
@@karlshaner2453 - Just curious, how old does he look to you? How old do you see Ammon to be in this story?
To me, the actor looks to be in his early 40's.
I looked in Mosiah 29 and saw that the sons of Mosiah, who were contemporaries with Alma the Younger, left on their mission around 92 BC. In Alma is "translated" around 73 BC while still young enough to be involved in the daily work of preaching the gospel (Alma 42:18). I think that early 40's is spot-on for the age of Ammon, but I could easily see a ten-year window on either side of that as possible.
I also felt the Holy Spirit and cried when King Lamoni and his wife and those who witnessed him all fell to the earth. I know this is a reenactment but it is powerful!
Great video I love them all actually, can't get enough of them; however there are so many important details missing that understandably can not be portrayed in a short video ; which goes to show how right the Prophets are when they teach us that these BoM videos should not replace reading and studying the BoM and other scriptures.
I served in the same mission with the actor who played Ammon in this video.
thats cool
@@christygruber2283 haha very true
Tastefully depicted and spiritually motivating, another great and powerful Book of Mormon video.....👍
I love Ammon's portrayal, from the casting to the acting.
that was great the work of the lord and savior jesus christ to all of us
I can’t wait to see Helaman videos
Maravilloso!!! Todas las semanas espero con ansias cada capítulo ❤️❤️ realmente somos privilegiados al tener el Libro de Mormón y ahora estos videos que nos brindan una mayor experiencia de aprendizaje!! Amo este libro maravilloso ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ammon is my all time favorite Book of Mormon hero. I am so happy to see this story brought to life along with its truths. Truly a testimony builder.
True love = "As for me, he doth not stink." Seriously, though, I love the examples of the righteous men and women in this video. Ammon! Abish! King Lamoni and his wife! I never really thought about how awesome the unnamed servants were, too.
I always wonder how Ammon survived, having rejected the King's offer to marry one of his daughters. I'm sure that was a tense moment in that no-win situation. Ammon's tongue had to pull off a Houdini to get out of that one.
Oh my WORD this is the best one yet. Virtually exactly how I imagined.
It is interesting, Ammon really could have used this situation to his advantage, but that is not why he was there. He was there to preach the word of God.
Jesus Loves You!
Anyone else want to hang out with all those sheep and listen to all of them make their cute noises and play with them? Would make my day!
These are incredible!
I still can’t shake the image of Arnold Friberg’s painting of Ammon looking like Mr Universe. Very well done though.
1pt21jigawatt - I remember hearing an explanation on why he painted the characters the way he did. Apparently, it was because of their spiritual stature.
Yes he painted them so that their physical stature represents their spiritual stature. Mighty and powerful
This is another great video. Ammon truly was inspirational in teaching the people of King Lamoni. Ammon was a great missionary amongst the Lamanities.
Best one yet. Wow...! This one seriously moved me... It was as though I could feel the same joy they did when they were converted to the Lord!
This video highlights how strange and wonderful this event was.
I love the music during and after the fighting at 7:30. It shifts focus from violence to the love God and Ammon show for the Lamanites throughout these events
Very touching. One of the most beautiful moments is when one changes course in the direction of Christ with faith, love, and Holy Ghost confirmed testimony of truth.
...and yes, my eyes teared up when I saw this video.
King Lamoni seems like a nice guy despite his fearsome look.......
Dave!! Great job with Ammon! This might be my favorite video yet.
The Book of Mormon is such a great blessing to this generation. And I thank my Father in Heaven for it.
I L-O-V-E the teaching of this church. In the Mighty Name of JESUS CHRIST.
One of my favorite. The master can tranform and save anyone of us. He did me. I love jesus christ. He saved me. He is real.
Should have called this video A Farewell to Arms.
Cool Cache I’m jealous that I never thought of that before, jajaja
