days 5 & 6: 1 Nephi 5-6

I did read both days I promise! The whole blog thing is even harder to keep up than the reading scriptures part.

Anyway, 1 Nephi 5 goes into the joyous reunion of the family, and some descriptions of the plates brought back from Laban.

Chapter 6 is short and sweet, with Nephi explaining that his purpose in writing is not to give a genealogy of his fathers, but to write things to persuade those that will read it to come to Christ. And while history and genealogy is important, nothing is more important than coming to Christ. Thanks for the perspective, Nephi.
