The master of the vineyard (the savior) plants us (the new green shoots) all over the vineyard (the world) and with His servants (parents, teachers, leaders, prophets and apostles) nourishes us to see if we can grow into healthy, strong trees that bare good fruit!  Like Lehi's vision...if others partake of the fruit, it will fill them with the Love of God and lead them to Christ.  We just have to try...to be good trees, and bear good fruit! 

King Bemjamen is getting very old.  He wants to appoint his son Mosiah to be the new king.  He has all the people gather at the temple and he has a large tower built so he can speak from the top and all his people can hear.  They place their tents with the doors facing him to hear his words. It was a lot like our general conference!  

God commands Nephi to take all those that believe in God with him and to flee.  Nephi and the believers set up a new land in the wilderness and build a temple!  They live after the manner of happiness (God's teachings and covenants).  

Enos is out hunting and filled with a desire to know God forgives and loves him.  He prays all day.  Enos hears God's voice telling him he is forgiven.  Enos prays for the Nephites and then for his enemies, the Lamanites.  He wants everyone to be forgiven and feel God's love.  

Who is your favorite prophet?  Nephi's was Isaiah.  Isaiah talks all about Christ, His coming, His love for us, His atonement, and eventually our living with Him again.  

Laman and Lemuel start to act rudely on the boat.  Nephi tells them to stop.  They tie Nephi up.  A huge storm comes.  The Liahona stops working.  Laman and Lemuel will not listen to anyone's pleading to untie Nephi.  For 4 days the storm gets worse and worse and they don't untie Nephi.  It is not until they think they will die, they release him.  Nephi prays and the storm stops.  The Liahona starts to work again and they finish their journey to the promised land.  

Laman and Lemuel have a pattern of always complaining.  Eventually their bad attitude leads to anger and bad decisions.  Eventually it leads to their separation from the Nephites, from the scriptures, and from God.  

God commands Nephi to build a boat.  He makes tools and gets directions from the Lord how to make a boat.  Laman and Lemuel mock Nephi.  Nephi is told by God to stretch forth his hand and shock them.  He does and they obey and help Nephi finish the boat.  They are amazed at the boat when they are done.  God helps us do amazing things when we listen and obey 

Nephi's steel bow breaks.  The family is not able to get food.  They are so hungry and start to complain.  Nephi continues to have faith and to trust God will provide.  Nephi makes a new bow out of a stick.  He is able to get food for the family.  They are so grateful.  

Lehi has a vision-  He sees the tree of Life.  He eats of the fruit and is filled with Joy.  He wants his family to eat and feel the same joy.  Nephi, Sam, and Sariah all come and eat.  Laman and Lemuel refuse.  Nephi prays and has the same vision.  He explains what the Tree, the fruit, the path, the rod, the great and spacious building are.
