 I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I make a record of my proceedings, and I know that the record which I make is true. I have seen many things concerning Jerusalem that it shall be destroyed. The Lord commanded me that I should take my family and depart into the wilderness. Do you not suppose it may be true? Whether it is true or not, it will destroy this family. You believe all that Father has said? I do. I did cry into the Lord. Needed visit me. You are a visionary man! Better to perish in Jerusalem and perishing here. How is it that you have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things if it shall be that we exercise faith in Him? And do the things which the Lord has commanded.
