And is named after a heroic prophet!
Amon, from Brazil, is happy to share his name with a Book of Mormon prophet! (In Portuguese, that’s how you spell the name of the son of Mosiah we read about in Alma 18.)
“He was a great missionary,” Amon said. “And I love sharing the gospel wherever I go, too.”
Amon said the scriptures help him in many ways—even with falling asleep better at night! Instead of only reading during a certain time, he finds it helpful to read a little bit here and there throughout the day.
“I read the scriptures whenever I have time,” he said. “After swimming class, after school, after therapy. I read the scriptures all day long.”
