Lesson 17: A Seer-Becometh a Great Benefit to His Fellow Beings
Book of Mormon: Gospel Doctrine Teacher’s Manual, (1999), 75–78
To encourage class members to follow the counsel of Church
leaders, particularly those whom the Lord has called as
prophets, seers, and revelators.     1. 1.      Read, ponder,
and pray about the following scriptures:      1. a.
Mosiah 7–8. Ammon leads an expedition to learn of the people who
years earlier had left Zarahemla to return to the land of Nephi.
Ammon and his brethren find Limhi and his people. Ammon teaches
the people of Limhi, receives a record of the people, and learns
of 24 Jaredite plates discovered by the people. He explains that
Mosiah, who is a seer, can translate the engravings on the
plates.      2. b.        Mosiah 9–10. Part of the record of
Zeniff, Limhi’s grandfather, recounts a brief history of how
Zeniff’s people arrived in the land of Nephi. It also recounts
how the Lord strengthened them in wars against the Lamanites.
3. c.        Mosiah 11
