Alma 17:9

And it came to pass that they journeyed many days in the wilderness,

and they fasted much and prayed much

that the Lord would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit

to go with them, and abide with them,

that they might be an instrument in the hands of God

to bring, if it were possible, their brethren, the Lamanites,

to the knowledge of the truth,

to the knowledge of the baseness of the traditions of their fathers,

which were not correct.

Alma 17:15

Thus they were a very indolent people,

many of whom did worship idols,

and the curse of God had fallen upon them because of the traditions of their fathers;

notwithstanding the promises of the Lord were extended unto them

on the conditions of repentance.

Alma 19:14

Now Ammon seeing the Spirit of the Lord poured out

according to his prayers

upon the Lamanites, his brethren,

who had been the cause of so much mourning among the Nephites,

or among all the people of God

because of their iniquities and their traditions,

he fell upon his knees,

and began to pour out his soul

in prayer and thanksgiving to God for what he had done for his brethren;

and he was also overpowered with joy;

and thus they all three had sunk to the earth.
