Lamanite woman, servant to the queen of Lamoni, ~90 BC
A Lamanite woman, servant to the queen of King Lamoni, converted to the Lord years before by a remarkable vision of her father, though she kept her faith secret among an unbelieving people. When the king's whole household fell to the earth overcome by the Spirit, she ran from house to house to gather the people, and raised the queen by the hand. One of the few women named in the record, known by what she did.
On their voice
Quiet, watchful, decisive faith long held in secret; the record gives her no speech, so she speaks sparingly and lets her actions carry. Humble, never self-promoting.
