Ammon( /ˈæm.ʌn/) is a missionary in the Mormon religious text, Book of Mormon and a contemporary of Alma the Younger. The Book of Mosiah describes his original antipathy toward the Nephite Church of God and his subsequent conversion after a sudden vision of an angel. As one of the royal Sons of Mosiah and likely the oldest, he was approached to eventually succeed his father as king but opted instead to minister among their Lamanite enemies as a missionary. His missionary journeys appear in the Book of Alma as the most detailed of any missionary activities in the Book of Mormon.

Famous quotes containing the word mormon:
“I never understood exactly why people get engaged—The only time I ever did the most disastrous things happened—but I feel that there’s a great deal to be said for immediate matrimony always. If I once got started I’d probably have to become a mormon to cover my confusion. What I mean is that if he and she are crazy about each other it is sheer tempting God to stay apart, come what may. And if people arent crazy about each other being engaged wont help them.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
