Alma 36:24
"Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost."
Alma, in his youth, went about drawing people away from the Church. He committed all kinds of sin and did not care for the Church in any way. When he was visited by an angel of God and everything changed. Alma completely changed how he lived. He traveled and corrected his wrongs. He then devoted his life to missionary work because he wanted everyone to know what he knew and feel what he felt. He wanted all to be born of God as he had, and to be full of that pure joy. He went from extreme wickedness to extreme righteousness.
