After many days of sailing, some of Lehi's family began to behave rudely and to forget the Lord. Nephi was afraid the Lord would not be pleased and warned his brothers. Laman and Lemuel became angry that Nephi was telling them what to do, so they tied him up. The Liahona stopped working, and no one could guide the ship. A great storm raged, but Lehi and some of the others could not get Laman and Lemuel to untie Nephi. On the fourth day, Laman and Lemuel realized they were about to be destroyed by the storm. At last they freed Nephi, and the Liahona began to work. Nephi prayed, and the sea became calm. He guided the ship, and after many days they reached the promised land.

The Liahona was an unusual compass, round like a ball and made of fine brass. The prophet Lehi discovered it one morning at the door of his tent in the wilderness. The Liahona pointed the direction that Lehi and his family should travel. It also contained written messages that helped them understand the ways of the Lord. The Liahona worked according to their faith, work, and obedience.

Week Two: October 11-17

1 Nephi 6-10

8 And now I, Nephi, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, therefore I spake unto them, saying, yea, even unto Laman and unto Lemuel: Behold ye are mine elder brethren, and how is it that ye are so hard in your hearts, and so blind in your minds, that ye have need that I, your younger brother, should speak unto you, yea, and set an example for you?

  9 How is it that ye have not hearkened unto the word of the Lord?

  10 How is it that ye have forgotten that ye have seen an angel of the Lord?

  11 Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten what great things the Lord hath done for us...?

~1 Nephi 7: 8-11
