1 Nephi 3
Nephi days that He knows that the Lord prepares the way for men to be able to fulfill His commandments. I wonder what the saints in Missouri thought of that when they were unable to build a temple as they had been commanded. Of course there would be some consolation that they were told that if they gave their full effort it was counted as if they succeeded when the world prevented their success but that feels like second place to me and I suspect it did to them as well.
Lehi did more than ask his sons to go get the plates. He explained why they were important. Nephi reminded his brothers of what they had been told in that regard after Laman’s first failed attempt.
