Put yourself in Mormon's position - you're all alone in a world of absolute wickedness. The atrocities you're seeing are beyond description and you no longer believe your people can be saved.

They don't even want to be.

They'd rather double down on their sins - even when doing so means the women and children are sacrificed to false gods.

Mormon's suffering must have been immense and he allowed it to transform him, bring him closer to God, and secure his salvation.

In this episode Adam and Tanner talk about our modern versions of suffering and our tendency to run away from, rather than be transformed by it.
