alma 9: 7 - 18

--> i didn't like the question they asked today, so i'm just going to write whatever i darn well please. 

i love the story of alma and amulek.  they are wonderful missionaries.  i took a lot of time during my mission to read and study about alma and amulek because they had a great chemistry as companions, and taught with such power. 

i love verse 7: "and they stood forth to lay their hands on me; but behold, they did not.  and i stood with boldness to declare unto them, yea, i did boldly testify unto them..."

so as a missionary i worked on speaking with boldness and power and never being ashamed of the message i had to bear.  when i took my missionary badge as i got released, i felt that that boldness faded.  reading this chapter again was a good reminder of the kind of missionary i want to be currently, even though i don't have the badge anymore.
