Enos recorded, “I went to hunt beasts in the forests; and the words which I had often heard my father (Jacob) speak concerning eternal life, and the joy of the saints, sunk deep into my heart… I kneeled down before my Maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer… all the day long… yea and when the night came I did still raise my voice… and there came a voice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed.” The Book of Mormon testifies that he spent his life preaching and prophesying of Jesus Christ.
