Mormon was chosen at the age of 10 to be the next record keeper of the Nephites. He was chosen because he was sober- quick to observe (thoughtful, serious, level headed, followed God). When Mormon was about 15 he was visited by the Savior. Mormon wanted to teach the people all the things He knew that made him so happy. But the Lord warned him not to. They were too wicked. When he was 16 he was chosen to be a military leader for the Nephites. He lead them but they were not following God and they did not repent. This was so hard for Mormon. He led them his entire life until he was 71. His life was full or war and fighting and yet Mormon continued to obey and follow God. We can listen to Mormon and his warnings to repent. We can honor his life by Choosing the righteous and happy path of following the Savior.
