Post by Nephi – As I mentioned, I will to the best of my ability, see that this blog and the back up metal plates contain only things of great worth. So let me start with that which we both will consider the greatest of any worth. It has been declared by the words of…

Plates of Ore
Post by Nephi – Keeping records has always been important to our Heavenly Father. The more secure the better. After we arrived in the Promised Land, the Lord commanded me to create a secure back up of this blog. The best way to do that is to etch into metal plates, a record that will…
Much Rudeness
Post by Nephi – I should probably use a different word than “rudeness” but I am running out of words that mean; “my brothers have offended God again, misbehaved, treated the family with contempt, practically killed family members, and lest they lose their very lives, repented and were forgiven.” The only difference in this next…
Curious Workmanship
Post by Nephi – The written word and my capacity with written words already put this post in jeopardy. What I want to stress is the pure joy there is in doing something exactly as the Lord directs. There is no surprise here. I look around and see Gods fantastic craftsmanship in this world He…
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…
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…
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…
