were men of truth and soberness, for they had been taught to keep the commandments of God and to walk uprightly before him. These faithful young men had been taught by their mothers that if they would not doubt, God would deliver them. I would suspect that the mothers of Captain Moroni, Mosiah, Mormon, and other great leaders also had mothers who taught them that if they exercise faith, they would be blessed by God.
