The young men of Ammon received care packages from home—“many provisions from the fathers”—just as many missionaries and servicemen and -women do today. They also received spiritual support from the teachings of their parents. They had no fear of death, they valued the liberty of their people more highly than their own lives, and they had learned, especially from their mothers, to get rid of doubt and have faith and trust in their God. The fervent testimony of their mothers had burned deeply into their own hearts: “We do not doubt our mothers knew it.”
