- A decade passes in peace, but Mormon, now 50, again prepares his people for an upcoming battle.
- The Lord commands Mormon to preach to the people, instructing them to repent, be baptized, and build up the church.
- Likely around this time of preaching, Mormon delivers a sermon on faith, hope, and charity in a synagogue.
- Mormon’s preaching is largely ignored because the people do not recognize the hand of God in their lives, and instead, reject him.
- Possibly around this time of religious endeavors, Mormon’s son Moroni is called to the ministry, and Mormon writes him a letter condemning false doctrines, in particular the practice of infant baptism.
