Crossing the ocean

1 Nephi 18
The ship is finished—The births of Jacob and Joseph are mentioned—The company embarks for the promised land—The sons of Ishmael and their wives join in revelry and rebellion—Nephi is bound, and the ship is driven back by a terrible tempest—Nephi is freed, and by his prayer the storm ceases—They arrive in the promised land. About 590—589 B.C.

I just read about how they finished building the boat. I love how Nephi says "we did work timbers of curious ^bworkmanship. And the Lord did show me from time to time after what manner I should work the timbers of the ^cship." So, when we're wrestling with a problem, like what to do with our business, I know we can ask for help. The Lord will show us how to "work" out a solution.

They finally finished and it was time to forever leave their homeland. Forever saying goodbye to everything they knew. What a hard boat ride that must have been. And, once again we see Laman & Lemuel angry with their younger brother. The Lord "shakes" them when they try to grab Nephi. They are humbled again and everyone arrives OK in the promised land.
