Sacrament Service

Ammoron gave Mormon the charge to keep the records. Ammoron was one of the sons of Nephi. Nephi was one of the 12 the Savior called when he visited the Americas after he was resurrected.
Ammoron also told him where all the records that had been kept by the Nephites since they left Jerusalem.
Mormon was only ten when he was called.
The Lord visited Mormon when he was fifteen.
Mormon was commanded when he was in his twenties to go get the records.
Mormon 3:22
22 And I would that I could persuade all ye ends of the earth to repent and prepare to stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.

Howard W Hunter Chapter 23
Alma 48:17,19
17 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.
19 Now behold, Helaman and his brethren were no less serviceable unto the people than was Moroni; for they did preach the word of God, and they did baptize unto repentance all men whosoever would hearken unto their words.
Give silent service whenever possible.
