  10. Nephi Prayed to Receive Help

  11. The Lord told Lehi to take his family onto the ship they had built. They loaded it with fruit, meat, honey & seeds for the promised land. Strong winds blew the ship toward the promised land.

  12. With the help of the Liahona, Lehi steered the ship toward thepromised land.

  13. The Liahona was a type of compass. It showed them which direction to travel - through the wilderness & where to steer the ship.

  14. It only worked when Lehi & his family were righteous.

  15. While at sea, some of Nephi’s brothers began to actwickedly. When Nephi told them to stop, they got angryand tied him up with ropes.

  16. Because of their wickedness, the Liahona stopped working. They did not know which way to steer the ship. A terrible storm blew the ship backwards for many days.

  17. The storm got worse, & the ship wasabout to sink. Laman & Lemuel knew that God had sent the storm. They were afraid they would drown.

  18. Laman & Lemuel repented & untied Nephi. Even though his wrists & ankles had become swollen and sore from the ropes, Nephi had not complained.

  19. Nephi prayed to Heavenly Father. Nephi then picked up the Liahona, & it worked again. • The wind stopped blowing & the sea became calm. • Nephi steered the ship to the promised land.

  20. Question Time! • Why wouldn’t the Liahona work while Nephi was tied up? • Why didn’t he complain? • What can we learn from Nephi’s example? • What did Nephi do to save the ship from sinking in the storm? • What did Heavenly Father do to help Nephi?
