• Alma 17: 1-18… The sons of Mosiah by chance met up on a roadway while on their “missions” and were overcome with joy.  To know the word of God, they searched the scriptures diligently and had waxed strong because of it.  By prayer and fasting they earned the spirit of prophecy, revelation and taught with the power and authority of God.  Over 14 years, they brought many people to repentance. They denied a role of leadership in their fathers kingdom to face a mission of serving Lamanites, who wanted to kill them, and began their journey with a blessing or “setting apart” done by Alma.
  • “One afternoon Adam showed up to help with practice, eyes red from crying. “What happened?” Shawn asked. Adam explained how a junior varsity player had cornered him in the locker room and given him a swirly—shoved his head into a toilet bowl and flushed. “It was disrespectful,” Adam said, staring at the ground. Lifting Adam’s chin up with his hand, Shawn said, “We’ll see what we can do about that later.” After practice, Shawn was driving them home when he noticed the JV player’s car parked outside the Busy B’s Café. He pulled over and, with Adam in tow, walked up to the booth where the kid was eating a burger with a buddy. Glancing up, the kid saw Adam and Shawn, and like a deer in the headlights, he froze. Shawn leaned in and stared him in the eye. “If you ever touch my little brother again,” said Shawn, loud enough for every patron in the restaurant to hear, “I will break both of your legs.” He stepped away and said again, “Both of them.” The café was silent. Avoiding Shawn’s ferocious gaze, the JV player nodded his head. Outside in the parking lot, Shawn put his arm around his little brother, who was still grinning. If Adam had looked up to Shawn before, from that day forward he was a giant.”  Fearless: The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team SIX Operator Adam Brown (Blehm, Eric) page 17
