"That I were an angel"

1. Alma 29: 1, 7
     1 O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!

     7 Why should I desire that I were an angel, that I could speak unto all the ends of the earth?
