Day 6- 1 Nephi 15

What is happening?

1. Lehi's people will recieve the gospel from the Gentiles in the later days.
2. The gathering of Israel is compared to the olive tree.
3. Nephi explains all of this to his doubting brothers.

How does this apply to my life?

1. This is a part of the scriptures that is not the easiest thing to understand. Sometimes I feel like Lamen and Lemuel. I complain that I don't recieve a witness, yet I am not asking for it either. I need to go to the Lord and ask Him for the answers I seek.
2. How do Lamen and Lemuel feel as their younger brother is explaining all this to them. Do they really care?
3. Sometimes I feel like Nephi. I exhort all my energies to eplain the gospel to my friends. I want them to believe. I want them to know the truth. Sometimes they listen, but most of the time they don't. I can't imagine how that must feel trying to do the same thing to your brothers!

Favorite Verse? Why?
Vs. 25- "Wherefore, I, Nephi did exhort them to give heed unto the word of the Lord; yea, I did exhort them with all the energies of my soul, and with all the faculty which I possessed that they would give heed to the word  of God and remember to keep his commandments always in all things."
This is the verse I was referencing earlier. I want to give my friends the gospel. I want them to understand and to heed to these words. But sometimes, I can't. I have to do all that I can. Tomorrow, I am going to post something on facebook. I pray that Heavenly Father will give me this opportunity that I might share the gospel with someone who really needs it.
