Captain Moroni

"Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace" (The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1988], p. 361).

Captain Moroni was:
 - strong
 - a mighty man
 - understanding
 - a man who did not delight in bloodshed
 - a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and freedom of his country
 - a thankful man, always giving thanks to his God
 - a hard worker and did labor for the welfare and safety of his people
 - a man who had firm faith in Jesus Christ

Alma 48:17
 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.
