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.

nevertheless, whatsoever thou desirest of me

I will grant it unto thee.
