Book of Mormon Mosiah 21:35
"They were desirous to be baptized as a witness and a testimony that they were willing to serve God with all their hearts; nevertheless they did prolong the time; and an account of their baptism shall be given hereafter"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 25:17
"king Limhi was desirous that he might be baptized; and all his people were desirous that they might be baptized also"

Shared words: were desirous

Editorial promissory note paid four chapters later: 21:35 defers 'an account of their baptism… hereafter'; 25:17-18 is that account, the only baptism of Limhi's people the book narrates ('Therefore, Alma did go forth into the water and did baptize them', 25:18). The word 'desirous' joined to 'baptized' in one verse is confined in the record to Mosiah 21:33, 21:35, 25:17 and Alma 15:13 ('to baptize … whosoever were desirous to be baptized'). Sibling disclosure: 25:18 also carries mos-mormon-baptism-manner (18:16 <-> 25:18, waters-of-mormon.md) - different pair, different claim (manner back-reference vs promise->performance).
