1 Nephi 22

This is the last post for the week regarding visualization and it is also the last chapter in 1 Nephi!  2 Nephi is right around the corner and the next posts will focus on a new study skill. Chapter 22 starts out at the moment when Nephi finishes reading from Isaiah to his brothers and

Isaiah again.  Honestly, I really do struggle with these.  In this chapter we learn that being of God and teaching of Him is light.  When I first read from verse 6 where it states “it is a light thing that thou shouldst be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob,” I thought “how

1 Nephi 20

Visualize…. I struggle with visualization through this chapter.  That being said, I tried really hard to remember that this is Nephi sharing what Isaiah wrote to his brothers.  If you have some great insight or an excellent study skill on how to thoroughly study and comprehend Isaiah, please share it with me.  For visualization of

1 Nephi 19

As I begin the post for this chapter, I would like to share with all of you how grateful I am that this chapter is short.  Containing only 24 verses we learn so much that is important to the Church of Jesus Christ as it exists today.  What happens in this chapter has relevance in

1 Nephi 18

We know that the family of Lehi was in the wilderness for a span of 8 years, and they are no longer there, so we can guess that Nephi and his brothers finish building the ship which they are commanded to build in about 591 BC or so.  Nephi prayed regularly for guidance on how

Build a ship?  I can  maybe build a paper airplane, maybe.  My husband can build beautiful jewelry boxes and other super cool things like blanket ladders with carved hearts out in his shop.  I bet my husband could build a boat.  Truly, ship building is the basis story in chapter 17 of the First book

1 Nephi 16

We are still visualizing, this post and six more. It is sometime between 600 and 592 BC.  Lehi and his extended family are in the valley of Lemuel near the Red Sea.  They have been through many trials up to this point in their travels in the wilderness, some of them may feel lost and

This week I will be using the study skill called visualize.  With this study skill, I will be looking for the setting (who is there, the time, the place, where and what is going on,) looking for details in the text and asking questions to fill in my mental picture.  I hope that this weeks

1 Nephi 14

Are you getting bored with all these doctrines and principles?  I am, but this is the last chapter on this specific topic for a while, I will certainly revisit is, as I have found this tremendously helpful.  I will try to be as brief as I can, so there may be a lot of shorthand

1 Nephi 13

Oh, chapter 13, it’s a long one.  Nephi has a lot to share with us here and it is the part of his vision that in in regards to the gentiles.  And before I go any further with this post, I would like to say a big thank you to my instructor Brother Mike Day
