Post by Nephi – Now keeping a genealogy is not my idea of interesting. I recognize that a history of family is important for maintaining a sense of tradition and roots, but a bunch of begats doesn’t an interesting blog make. So all I need to say is – we are descendants of Joseph. That…
The Plates of Brass
I know my father loves us and was worried for us, but when his excitement for the plates seemed to exceed his joy for our safe return, I take no offense. I just think he knew we would be safe all along.
My Dear Mother
Post by Nephi – After having been gone for many weeks, we have returned to our parents in the wilderness. Having never been a parent, particularly a mother, I can’t say I understand the joy my mother expressed when we returned safely and successfully. I have never seen her so glad or relieved. She told…
My Dearest Sons
Post by Sariah – Dearest Children, It is finally evening; I have spent the entire day worrying about you. Since you left on your journey so much has happened. Your father has kept a record for you, so that you will know what the Lord has said while you are away. But now we find…
Hello old friend
Post by Daniel – Nephi, I am relieved to hear you are out of the city and safe. May the Lord be as gracious to your family as he has been to my brothers and me. The Lord’s hand has surely been with us, for we have found much grace in Nebuchadnezzar’s sight. Even Jehoiachin…
Zoram – The Power of an Oath.
Post by Nephi – As the streets were deserted, I was more in shock to have just killed a man than in fear of being found out. As I mentioned, the streets in the middle of the night were not a place for a citizen to be wandering. At night, doors were bolted, windows were…
Constrained by the Spirit to Slay Laban
Post by Nephi – After admonishing my brothers with several illustrations of the Lord’s power, they reluctantly and unhappily followed me back to the outer walls of Jerusalem. It was night time after my brothers had hidden themselves, when I made my way back into the city towards Laban’s house. I was being led by…
About Laban
Post by Nephi – I don’t plan on addressing Laban’s threats I just want to help you understand his rantings. Laban is typical of the well-known class of public official in this land. He is highly successful yet greatly to be pitied. Laban and the elders of the Jews are representatives and symbols of our…
Thanks for enhancing my wealth.
Post by Laban – I have mixed emotions. I on one hand wish to thank you Nephi and your brothers for traveling to the land of your foolish father’s inheritance and bringing to me his great treasure. It saved me and my servants considerable trouble. I also appreciate your keeping this blog for the world…
Our New Approach with Laban
Post by Nephi – Laban had made it very clear he was not going to give up the records merely for the asking. Laban’s anger and his attempt on Laman’s life made that fact pretty clear, and Laman didn’t hesitate to remind us of that as I tried to convince my brothers that we must…
