Post by Sam – I thought Nephi had said about all he could say to convince my brothers to stop murmuring and believe it possible to build a ship and sail to a promised land. But they didn’t take it well at all. When he finished speaking, Laman and Lemuel were so angry they wanted…
God does destroy the wicked.
Post by Nephi – I just got done posting about how our journey in the wilderness is so much like that of the children of Israel and Moses. I certainly hope the similarities of our journey ends there. I’ve been told by the Lord that the ship which we will certainly build, will carry us…
40 years in the wilderness? Moses had it tough!
Post by Nephi – It seems the children of Israel and their experience in the wilderness, is being replayed right before my eyes with my brothers and the sons of Ishmael. Even with a heavy heart I can’t refrain from reminding my brothers of Moses’ experience with the exodus from Egypt. First, the children of…
Fools think they can build ships.
Post by Laman – Sam can be so much like Nephi it about makes me sick. Build a ship he writes! Nephi is a fool to even think he can build a ship and then to think with it we could cross these waters. First, why should we waste our time and energy trying to…
We’ll be building a ship
Post by Sam – Our little brother Nephi is quite amazing sometimes. He is undaunted in his willingness to follow our father and the Lord. I hope he never changes, even though we face stiff resistance from Laman and Lemuel and Ishmael’s sons because of this steadfastness. We were enjoying a period of peace as…
The Land Bountiful
Our journey is certainly not over, but rather than write all of the afflictions and difficulty that we suffered, which could fill post after post, I want to tell you about this, our new campsite. We’ve arrived at a place which we call Irreantum which means many waters. We are actually at the sea. The…
Wading through affliction, without murmuring.
This may seem a bit odd as I discuss incredible hardships and great blessings in the same post. Its not that we had the one and then the other, which is quite typical. We headed east for a number of years. I want to describe the hardship as “wading through much affliction.” To top it…
Nephi’s Broken Bow
Post by Nephi – Laman, Lemuel and the sons of Ishmael reached the level of complete absence of reason – again. I can’t blame any of our family for commenting on their total exhaustion. I too am pushed to my limits. But with all the Lord has done for us, how can we abandon our…
Ishmael is dead
Post by Laman – This traveling in the wilderness is not going well. We finally did stop as my father says “that we might tarry for the space of a time.” What that means is “Ok, lets stop for a while until I get another foolish urge to get moving.” Even stopped, things are bad…
Round ball of curious workmanship
Post by Nephi – You just read what Sam said about our recent travels. He failed to mention how this new expedition started. Not that we were necessarily comfortable, but we had food, water and weren’t heading back to Jerusalem any time soon. None of us were anxious to be moving. The Lord however, never…
