1 Nephi 4 – 5:9Nephi again says “Let us be faithful” and asserts that the Lord is more powerful than Laban. Nephi gives examples of the Lord’s power in action. Laman and Lemuel follow grudgingly. After using their own reasoning and failing twice Nephi now has the Spirit to guide him – he had already…

1 Nephi 3Lehi tells Nephi that he has been commanded to send Nephi and his brothers back to Jerusalem. Laman and lemuel complain, but because Nephi already had a testimony his response was “I will go and do.” Lehi recognized that attitude as a sign that Nephi had been blessed by the Lord. Nephi and…

Carbondale Day 28
What a day. We did service for Bill Hayes. Not much happened there. We studied for most of the day for a meeting with a minister and his wife. That went fine. We won’t go back because their intent is to disprove and convert us. This evening we went to see May McQueen. She wasn’t…
