Knowing what the Prophet has Spoken

King Benjamin gave a magnificent address at the end of his life. It was clearly impactful, and many members remembered it for a long time. A great example of this is given in Mosiah 8. Ammon, who was a soldier in the army, met up with a group of people who had left his village/city several decades earlier. He was asked to recite to them the important things that had happened since they left. It says that he did the following:

2 And he caused that Ammon should stand up before the multitude, and rehearse unto them all that had happened unto their brethren from the time that ^aZeniff went up out of the land even until the time that he ^bhimself came up out of the land.

3 And he also rehearsed unto them the last words which king Benjamin had ^ataught them, and explained them to the people of king Limhi, so that they might understand all the words which he spake.

I am so impressed that he was able to rehearse the words of the prophet/king without notes and from memory. It's a great example of what we need to be able to do. We must know the words of the prophet and be able to teach them to people.
