The People of Ammon Repent You

(Picture of you)
Ammon was a missionary who explained the teachings of Jesus Christ to
King Lamoni (a Lamanite king). King Lamoni believed these teachings and
became converted to the gospel. He asked his people to listen to Ammon
and his brothers. King Lamoni knew that these men were telling the
truth.

Parents

Ammon and his brothers went from city to city and from house to house
teaching the Lamanites. The Lamanites did not know the gospel, and they
were very wicked. Many of the people believed the teachings of Ammon
and his brothers and were converted. They knew the words of Jesus
Christ were true, and they repented of their wicked ways.

These people decided to change their name from Lamanites to Anti-

Nephi-Lehies. They did this to separate themselves from the wicked Primary Teachers
Lamanites who were not following the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Before these people repented, they had killed many people with their
swords. They were sorry for the wrong things they had done and wanted
to repent. They chose to promise Heavenly Father never to fight or raise
their swords against any people again.

17 And now it came to pass that when the king had made an end of

their swords, and all the weapons which were used for the shedding of
man’s blood, and they did bury them up deep in the earth.

1. Who is accountable for teaching you to pray?
2. Who is accountable for saying your prayers?
3. Who is accountable for teaching you the lessons in
Primary?
18 And this they did, it being in their view a testimony to God, and
also to men, that they never would use weapons again for the
shedding of man’s blood; and this they did, vouching and covenanting
with God, that rather than shed the blood of their brethren they would
give up their own lives; and rather than take away from a brother they
would give unto him; and rather than spend their days in idleness they
would labor abundantly with their hands.

4. Who is accountable for learning what your Primary

teacher teaches?

5. Who is accountable for the way you act in Primary?

6. Who is accountable for doing what Heavenly Father

and Jesus Christ want you to do?

7. Who is accountable for keeping your baptismal

covenants?

After the Anti-Nephi-Lehies buried their swords, the wicked Lamanites

came to fight them. The Anti-Nephi-Lehies had a very difficult decision to
make. They could break their promise to Heavenly Father and use their 2nd Article of Faith
swords to fight, or they could decide not to fight and possibly be killed.
They decided to keep their promise to not use their swords against other
people. Many of them were killed by the Lamanites. When the Lamanites We believe that men will

surprised. Many of them laid down their own swords because they too
