“They Were Men of a Sound Understanding”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

There is a love, a brotherhood or sisterhood, a bond shared by those who labor in the Lord’s service that surpasses all other feelings of comradery. Such are the emotions experienced in this unexpected missionary reunion.

Alma and the sons of Mosiah parted company fourteen years before with little to offer the Lord but willing hearts and youthful exuberance. They now meet as men of seasoned faith, men of sound understanding-an understanding that comes only by an earnest desire for the word of the Lord, coupled with faithful service in his name.
