nov 12, 320 - Ammaron Instructs Mormon
Description:
At this same time Ammaron went to a 10 year old boy by the name of Mormon and instructed him to retrieve the records when he (Mormon) was 24 years old. He selected Mormon because he was a sober child who was very reflective and faithful in the gospel.
Given this instruction it is not unlikely that Ammaron hid the records because he knew his life was in danger. Either he knew he was old and close to death, or his life was being threatened by the people, especially the Gadianton Robbers.
