Amulek recounted to the people of Ammonihah the circumstances surrounding his conversion—he was a wealthy man, “of no small reputation” in the community (Alma 10:4). He knew the ways of the Lord but had hardened his heart against them until an angel appeared to him. The angel told Amulek that if he received the servant of the Lord he would be blessed.God often blesses his children through his mortal servants. What great blessing did Alma bring to Amulek? (see v. 11; see also D&C 84:35–38, John 13:20).
