“God Has Entrusted You with These Things”

Brant Gardner

Alma is not the owner of the records. They belong to God, and it is God who entrusts them to Helaman, not Alma. Alma is acting as the agent for God in passing on this responsibility. Helaman is not receiving an inheritance from an earthly father, he is receiving a command and charge from God himself.
