You know what I always want to know? I want to know what is written in these "other records". OR even better, what they are not allowed to write.. You know how it will say sometimes "I cannot write these things now, for it is forbidden" or something to that point... I want to know what the Lord told them... I know that someday we will find out, which I am super excited about. It makes me curious to learn more you know?
What I really liked in these chapters, is that they mention several times that they searched the records. Lehi searched them from the beginning, and he and Nephi found them to be desirable and of great worth. How true is that? Recently, I have found myself turning to the scriptures to find the meaning of little words, like "companion" or "cheer". I know I should have been doing that all along, but I find that when I am reading about, or trying to learn about a certain topic, the scriptures always should be my number one source. They are of great worth to us,and like Nephi says in chapter 6, he's not writing to please the people of the world, but the people who are not of the world. I want to be a person who is not "of the world". I am grateful that we are blessed to have these resources to learn and grow.
I am also grateful for the temple. I need to go more. My goal is to go every week again, like we used to, but I get so caught up in everything that it's not at the front of my mind like it should be.
I like how Nephi brags about his stature too. He must have been one heck of a stud for sure!! :)
