This episode is part 25 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.

This episode covers chapters 20-26 of the book of Alma. We continue the account of the sons of Mosiah as missionaries to the Lamanites. After King Lamoni was converted, he and Ammon went to Middoni to free Ammon's brothers from prison. However, they encountered Lamoni's father along the way. Ammon battled "king dad" and convinced him to release his brothers and let his son reign as he wishes.

The brothers do more mission work in an ancient city of Jerusalem but get resistance from Amalekites, Amulonites, and Nehorites. Eventually, Aaron, one of the brothers goes to "king dad" in the land of Nephi and sees a conversion similar to what King Lamoni experienced. As many Lamanites were converted, others tried to attack them.

We also learn a bit of the geography of the lands of the Book of Mormon and wonder what part of the western hemisphere this all allegedly describes.

This episode is part 24 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.

This episode covers chapters 14-19 of the book of Alma. While Zeezrom and some people repent, the mob and the chief judge bind Alma and Amulek and imprison them. After months of torment, Alma and Amulek miraculously escape to Sidom. There they heal Zeezrom who had a horrible fever. They start a church there.

Eventually, the two travel and run into Ammon and the sons of Mosiah who are now missionaries to the Lamanites. We then see an account of how Ammon became a servant of King Lamoni in the land of Ishmael of the Lamanites. As the power of God aids him, King Lamoni thinks Ammon might be the "Great Spirit." This gives Ammon the opportunity to give a history lesson and "gospel" presentation.

King Lamoni prays and gets slain in the spirit for two days. After he wakes up, he gets slain in the spirit again, along with the queen, some servants, and Ammon himself. Lamanites get confused, but everyone on the floor eventually wakes up and talk about how they were changed.
