from Seek This Jesus - A Book of Mormon Daily Podcast · host Jamie
1 Nephi 17:8 - "And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto me, saying: Thou shalt construct a ship, after the manner which I shall show thee, that I may carry thy people across these waters."Elder David A. Bednar - “Nephi was not a sailor. He had been reared in Jerusalem, an inland city, rather than along the borders of the Mediterranean Sea.

In essence, then, Nephi was commanded and instructed to build something he had never built before”Seek this Jesus - A Book of Mormon Daily Podcast invites you to discover the joy and guidance that comes from studying the Book of Mormon everyday.
