Day 5- 1 Nephi 13

What is happening?
  1. Nephi is still seeing visions of the modern day.
  2. He sees the rise of the church of the devil and many parts of the Bible lost or destroyed.
  3. He also sees the Americas discovered and colonized.
  4. Nephi sees the restoration of the gospel.
How does this apply to my life?
  1. I love seeing this aspect of history. This is not something that you are taught in history books. It really is a demonstration of God's view of everything that was happening during the colonization and time before our church was established.
  2. I think that is is so great the Nephi is able to see all these visions! He just had to have faith. I am not even going to try and compare myself to Nephi, but I believe that as I have faith I will get my own testimant. It will not be in the form of a vision, but it is still great non-the-less. 
  3. I want to live to bring forth Zion.
Favorite Verse? Why?
Vs. 37- "And blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion at that day, for they shall have the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost; and if they endure unto the end they shall be lifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall publish peace, yea, tidings of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be."
I love this verse. I want to live my life so that I can have the power of the Holy Ghost. I want this for me, and for my future family. I want to publish peace and be one to show unto the world this great Gospel has been restored.
