In this episode of the weekly Deep Dive podcast on the Add On Education network, hosts Jason Lloyd and Nate Pyfer navigate the challenges of remote recording as Jason adjusts to his new home in Spain.
The main discussion delves into Mosiah chapters 25 through 28 from the “Come Follow Me” curriculum. Jason and Nate explore the roles of Amulon and Ammon in the conversion of the Lamanites, examining how Amulon’s influence inadvertently set the stage for future missionary success. They also discuss the parallels between Old Testament patterns and the governance structures in the Book of Mormon, highlighting the balance between religious and political leadership.
The conversation transitions into a deep dive into Alma the Younger’s conversion story, comparing it to Saul’s transformation in the New Testament. They reflect on the importance of recognizing and sharing personal testimonies of redemption and the power of the Atonement, especially during fast and testimony meetings.
Throughout the episode, Jason and Nate emphasize the relevance of understanding historical and scriptural patterns to better grasp the messages in the Book of Mormon and how these insights can inspire modern-day faith and testimony. Join them as they provide thoughtful perspectives and spiritual insights in their quest to deepen the understanding of the scriptures.

[00:00:15] Speaker A: Welcome to the weekly Deep Dive podcast on the add on Education network. The podcast where we take a look at the weekly come follow me discussions and try to add a little insight and unique perspective. I am your host, Jason Lloyd, here in, let’s see, battalion of Spain remotely with Nate the great Pyfer, our show’s producer and our friend, Nate. How you doing?
[00:00:37] Speaker B: Living the dream, baby.
[00:00:40] Speaker A: Living the dream. This is our first experiment recording together.
We’ll see how this goes.
[00:00:46] Speaker B: It’s gonna work.
We’re gonna definitely need to kind of tighten up some of the audio things. Some of you might notice a little bit of like, kind of like room noise, kind of just echo and stuff where Jason is, but that’s because you just barely moved into your new spot. So you don’t have furniture or anything up?
[00:01:06] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ve got some furniture, but honestly, mostly empty. I don’t have my couches yet. And this house is built to echo, which is not ideal when you have six kids running around the house.
[00:01:20] Speaker B: How’s it been so far, though? You adjusting all right? How’s the family doing?
[00:01:25] Speaker A: It’s been. It’s been good. The family’s been taking it really well.

We still do not have Internet. We’re trying to find some workaround solutions so that we can get this podcast out to you guys.
You can get the electricity in your name on your house, you can rent a house, you can get the water, the utilities, and you can pay for all of that. But you can’t get Internet until it’s. I don’t know, it’s been a process.
You have to get a. It’s like the Social Security number, but for foreigners. And they call it the NIE number here in Spain.
And trying to get that is just a runaround and a half. In fact, we met with some attorneys on Friday who were working in that process with us, and they scanned all of our documents, got everything ready to go, and I said, fantastic. Do you want me to set the appointment...
