Day 2- 1 Nephi 6

Here is a really short chapter!

What is happening?

1. Nephi is not going to make a full account of their geneology. They are descendants of Joseph.
2. He wants to have more room to write the things that God wants him to write.
3. He is writing these things that he "may persuade men to come unto God...and be saved"

How does this apply to my life?

1. Again, I need to write more of my history so that my children will have something to read someday.
2. This is part of my purpose in doing this challenge. I want my children to know that I have a testimony of these scriptures. I want them to be able to read through my journey.
3. When I do write in my journal, am I writing things that are pleasing unto men or pleasing unto God?

Favorite Verse? Why?
Vs. 3 "And it mattereth not to me that I am particular to give a full account of all the things of my father, for they cannot be written upon these plates, for I desire the room that I may write the things of God."
It is amazing to see Nephi's testimony and connection with God. He knows what he is supposed to write and why he is supposed to write it. He wants to get right to the point. This is the purpose that God wanted him to fulfil. I just love it. I am reading the things of God right now. Sometimes, I feel like I do not recognize this enough.
